The Bottom Line:

"Mixed reactions"

I love the Madden series, I played Madden NFL 08, 09, 10, and 11, I still got 11 for Xbox 360 and 09 for PSP.

This one is good, I love the new infinity engine although it can be glitchy at times.

The new balance system was something that was not supposed to be made for Madden, almost 50% of the time I give the ball to my RB I end up tripping over players that fell down or making sharp cutbacks to end up falling on my knees and getting tackled for a short gain/loss.

I know some of us may ask "Hey, where is the Franchise Mode?", I myself have asked this question, you see the trick here is that there is no Franchise Mode or Superstar Mode but instead they changed the name to Career Mode where you can select to play as a Coach (Franchise) or a Player (Superstar).

Connected Careers is a pretty cool add-on, I enjoy it.

The controls need some improvements due to the new balance and infinity systems, it's not bad but just need some improvements.

The visuals are kind of the same aside from the 3D grass and the new accessories on players, I also like how they added where time will pass as you play the game.

Overall it was an enjoyable experience for me and since I am a big football lover I will be playing it for quite a long time.
