overall there are some nice improvements to the game this year. i really liked how the running game felt as well as the tackling system.
The problem is the ai is still flukey. If your a hardcore madden fan expect to customize your playbook because the plays the ai calls are really bad at times. When turning up the difficulty the game doesn't challenge you it just screws you over just like in years past. The ai will make amazing plays that you could never do as a human.
As for online the few games i played laged just like old maddens which is a shame since its a 1vs 1 game.
The otp or online team play mode which is 3 on 3 football was a huge disappointment. Coming from the nhl series and how well the otp system works, madden has a long way to go. Overall it suffered from lag issues as well as the over all feel just felt off.
The major disappointments are the bugs in this game. New bugs have arisen that have not been in the madden series with menus freezing and locking up, players disappearing , the game not recognizing the proper nfl rules(2 teams are tied in ot in playoffs it continues not just ends), and to top it off the commentary is still average at best.
overall madden 12 is plagued with bugs and issues that have plagued it for years. some nice improvements with the running game and tackiling are nice but i just don't see the quality i use to back from the ps2 days . Too many features have been cut out and to many basic mistakes overall. In my opinion i am glade i have game fly to remind me why i stopped buying the madden series 8 years ago.
