User Rating: 7.5 | Madden NFL 12 PS3
By kanesw00DSP | Review Date:
Player lockout threats and league disputes have marred football's off-season this year. But one thing that never changes is the appearance of Madden at just this time of the year. With so much instability in pro-football, EA has been quiet about this year's iteration of one of the biggest game franchises in the world. But if you're worried that EA has fumbled among the rough and tumble of sports politics, relax. Madden NFL 12 is a solid, tighter football game, even though it's a largely similar one.

EA Tiburon stepped up its game with presentation. Madden NFL 12 looks fantastic. The revamped lighting effects shine new light on the stadiums. The sun actually moves and sets as the game progresses. It's not necessarily noticeable unless you're familiar with a particular stadium, but I've been in the Chargers' Qualcomm Stadium in the late afternoon nearly 100 times in my life and I can say that they f@#%ing nailed it.

    This years rendition fails to live up to the brand. It's glitch ridden, the game play is unnecessarily burdened with unrealistic changes, it's repetitive in an annoying way, and easy to bore with. What would have suff... Read Full Review
