As we continue to watch courtroom football many of us are starting get a bad feeling about the season starting on time. We all want to be able to enjoy football this fall but as this labor situation drags out the more likely the NFL misses some games. Well at least we can enjoy some sort of professional football because no matter what Madden will be released on your favorite gaming console.

This version of Madden has undergone some major changes to both the appearance and game play. One of the minor but cool addition is 3-D grass. The grass is no longer flat as you will be able to see blades move as you move. There will be chunks of grass flying in the air. While this is a minor change, it is still interesting and will surely add to the experience.

I have been on record stating that Madden 2011 was the worst one I have ever played. I really hope that the changes made improve the overall game play. The additions to the franchise mode are very intriguing and should add more fun to the overall game.
