Best episode ever

The review seem to be unanimous in that this is the best Madden to date. It is without a doubt the best next gen Madden, and I believe it is the best Madden ever. My main complaints with former Maddens was that you pretty much couldn't run a play action play without getting sacked. Guess what, you finally can. The pass protection is ALOT more realistic and you can actually stay in the pocket. You no longer have to drop back 20 yards to avoid being sacked, you can stay in the pocket and your blockers will actually work for you. It really makes it exiting while you see how long your pocket will hold up while you scan the field for your open receivers.
I also LOVE the tackles in this game. They seem to have put alot of work into improving the tackles this year. There are great animations of receivers getting cartwheeled after jumping into the air to get a high pass. Also the gang tackles are awesome. A good running back or reciever can break free from a one man tackle, so it is important to call a defense that will include some support and your defensive men arent left out there alone. It add a new exiting element to calling defense.
The new tackling system works well for the offensive play also. I was Adrian Peterson and i was able to score a touchdown after breaking 4 tackls because they were all one man at a time. I got lucky but it felt like something that really could have happened in real life.
If you are one of those people that gets the new Madden every year, i assume you already have this game. If you are one of those people (like myself) who only gets Madden once every couple of years, i think this years installment is absolutely worth the upgrade. If you are interested in football, but don't have a game yet, this is a must buy.
The bottom line is i think this is a must own installment for every fan of football.
