With Madden 11 behind us and Madden 12 rapidly approaching, the question on everyone's mind is the same: What's in store for the popular NFL football game franchise this time around? If you were worried that the answer to that question might be "not much," then worry no more. There are three awesome reasons why Madden 12 is shaping up to be the best Madden we've ever seen, and they couldn't have come at a better time.
1) New Collision System -- If you've ever played Madden before, then it won't take long for you to recognize what I mean when I say "tumbleweed tackles." The inability for multiple players to truly influence a tackle has been a problem in Madden for years, and has really hampered down the otherwise superb gameplay element of the Madden NFL franchise. In Madden 12, you can say goodbye to tumbleweed tackles and hello to a brand new collision system designed to help not only mitigate if not entirely eliminate the problems of consecutive hit tackling, but also to remove the dreaded suction tackles of the past, where defenders would suck in players like a vacuum cleaner when trying to make a tackle.
2) Enhanced Presentation -- It's not often that presentation means too much to the hardcore fans of the football game world, but when that presentation includes finally implementing NFL team mascots, cheerleaders and authentic team entrances, it's hard not to get excited. Anyone who has ever been to an NFL game knows how big of a draw the sideline antics of mascots and cheerleaders are, and anyone who has ever watched a Jacksonville Jaguars team entrance knows that there is something special about watching Jaxson deVille running out of the tunnel in a cloud of smoke with an American flag in his hand.
3) Custom Playbooks -- For years, Madden fans have been begging for the ability to make their own playbooks, and Madden 12 looks to finally deliver on those wishes. With custom playbooks, players will be able to truly create their own style of gameplay by developing their own strategy from ground up, starting with which plays should be in their arsenal of plays. For a Madden guru, football is as much about plays as it is about the players executing them, so having the ability to customize your own playbooks to your liking should go a long way to energizing a fan base that may have been a little disappointed in more generic additions to last year's Madden title, like GameFlow and the Strategy Pad control system.
