Madden 12 is here!

The time of year has come once again when the NFL preseason is coming to a close with the regular season right around the corner.  This also means for gamers everywhere that the newest addition of Madden 12 is released!  The new Madden game came out yesterday and I have played a demo of the game.  True to its Madden form the game does not disappoint and has some new features that make the game more realistic.  Madden 12 uses actual NFL Film’s cinematographers in order to produce accurate and realistic camera angles and shots.  Cold and hot streaks by players affecting their overall rating in Franchise mode are one of the cool additions to franchise mode.  My favorite Madden game is from the 1994 version on Super Nintendo because it was the one that indtroduced me to the Madden game.  My brother and I would always play a Snow Bowl game between the 49ers and Giants which resulted in many shouting matches and controllers being thrown.  The best part of the game was the instant replay.  This being a game from 1994 the only plays you could review was passing interference calls.  You had one review a game and the call was always reversed no matter what happened on the field.  It was good for you if you were the defense but frustrating if you were on offense.
