I am not impressed with my first "next-gen" experience with Madden. There's many issues with animations and player intelligence. The developers don't even now the rules of the sport like when the clock is supposed to stop. Most of the improvements to franchise mode are just "fluff". Some of the stuff is helpful, but ultimately all the elements of the mode feel the same. Sure, the game many have plenty of content when it comes to game modes, but the issues with the actual game of football make this frustrating to play on many occasions. This game is a 6/10.
