DONT BUY. This game ruined the Madden series. EA took Madden 12, ripped it apart with all the things that made it fun, and showed the whole Madden Community how good it feels to gamble. The gameplay is quite fluid, yes, in fact that is why it got a two star instead of a 1. If you wanted to have some of these deep features and escape Ultimate Team, you would have to play the Wii version. In the Wii Version, you had the franchise mode that PS3 and Xbox 360 had on Madden 12, and more things to do. Different game modes suck as Road to Super Bowl, Showdown,Huddle-Up, and even had 5v5. It even had it's own trophy room which was similar to NFL 2K5's but you earned them, and got different things each time you got one. What made Wii worse than PS3 and Xbox 360 was it's gameplay. Oh my god, the Wii's gameplay was soooo awful. That's all there was too say. If you are looking to play retro Maddens, please don't play this one.
