An overall disappointment!
User Rating: 6 | Madden NFL 12 WII
I've gotten Madden Games since 2002 (well technically 2001). First for the Gamecube and most versions for the PS2. This is my first Wii game (I didn't get Madden 11) and I must say I am overall disappointed. Do I still play the game? Yes. There are things that keep me moderately entertained, lately I have been playing the quite interesting 5-on-5 mode a lot, but there are a lot of features I loved from past games that are missing in this game unless I somehow just can't find them. Where's create a player? Where's create a playbook? And one of the most fun features in my mind of so many past Madden games, where is create a team? And although most Madden fans may find it quite odd, I rather enjoy watching CPU games from time to time, WITH the full experience (of course they never showed the coin toss part, but that's no big deal anyway) and this year, when you choose CPU only, it skips the intro of the game including the starting lineups and key matchup part. Another thing that annoys me is I choose to use the classic controller to play, however they for some idiotic reason do not let you use it for mini-games. It deters me from even bothering to switch the controller with the nunchuck just to play the mini-games. Another thing that irks me is I have seen footage of the XBox 360 version of the game and I do not understand why they do not have some of the presentation aspects of that game in the Wii version as well. It's the same generation. The graphics of this game and the overall visual presentation are lacking compared to other versions of the same generation? That is ridiculous!
