The latest installment of the Madden series is here and this is a definite improvement yet again. The game itself hasn't changed that much but it does introduce the brand new Gameflow play calling system, which make the game accessible for newcomers whilst still retaining the old playing system from previous incarnations. The Gameflow system chooses the best play for your team in the situation you are in. This can be tweaked and adapted before the game so you can decide which plays may be called for you but if you are going to do that, you may as just play call yourself. I've found this feature to be good to play against people new to the game and ...  Read the complete review

My review is going to be from a slightly different perspective. I was completely new to the Madden franchise of games. I only really got interested in NFL after the Superbowl this year (2011).

A new feature which has been added to the game is 'Gameflow' which cuts the game time by taking all 300 plays and placing them into one. It can be good if you just want a quick game without having to ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of the Madden NFL games, and though the 2011 version is a good game that pretty much any football fan can enjoy, it is still not the best. All of the standard improvements have been made; graphics, rosters, fields, etc. The game LOOKS as close as you can get to really being out there on the field on Sunday. However, it just doesn't feel like Madden '08 did (my personal favorite Madden game of all-time.) It feels too dumbed down this year. I understand that EA games wants to widen its market for gamers, but it is starting to get to the point where you almost feel as if you are playing those old "Backyard Football" video games. They added an  Read the complete review
