New Features
In "Madden NFL 12" they added several new features to the Madden franchise. "Madden NFL 12" was the first Madden game to add real pictures of rookie NFL players. One more new feature to make the game more realistic was to change kickoffs from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line to be in line with the NFL's rule change they made for the 2012 season.
"Madden NFL 12" was the first madden game to add concussions as an injury resulting in that player not returning for the rest of the game. EA added a new collision system to make tackles more realistic in the 2012 version. They built on their existing playbook to now feature over 75 unique plays. This was the first EA Madden game to allow player trades for draft picks for the next upcoming season.
I gave "Madden NFL 12" a rating of 8/10 because it was ahead of its time for a sports game released for the PlayStation 2. They added much more realistic stadiums, fans, and cheerleaders. The game was the most realistic sports game at the time of launch. I also enjoyed the several modes from such an old sports game. "Madden NFL 12" included a franchise model as well as an auction-style draft. One of the most realistic parts I enjoyed was cutting down players on your roster from preseason to finalize your team player selection.
