Madden NFL Football Reviews
Madden NFL Football
Handheld Madden is a funny thing. Theoretically, it should be absolutely massive—but it never is. In fact, EA hasn't released a DS version of the hit franchise in nearly three years, and it's infrequent to hear the developer laud the features of the yearly PSP releases. That's what made Madden's 3DS launch title so unique. It was never a real pull, so it felt as though EA must have had something special planned for the system's launch. Or they wanted to take advantage of the decidedly barren launch library and make a quick buck before Madden 12 in August. Turns out it's somewhere in-between. Even when compared to other launch titles, Madden NFL Football's 3DS iteration is bare-bones. Heck, there are barely any bones to even talk about. There's no multiplayer whatsoever—an exclusion that's sure to shut some fans down immediately—and the included modes are sparse. There's an Exhibition mode and a Season mode, and that's about it. There's not even a Franchise to speak of, so besides playing regular matches, the only other thing to do is to compete in what amounts to a tournament. The only thing adding any variety is the option to play either of the game's modes in traditional 11-on-11 or an arcade-inspired 5-on-5.

Madden NFL Football is a woefully incomplete game. The list of features not included in this 3DS launch game is almost longer than what's on the cart, which makes this game practically worthless for casual and hardcore football fans alike. The most glaring omission is multiplayer; there's absolutely no way to challenge a friend to a match. The Madden franchise is built on competition, showing off your virtual might and letting the trash-talking fly. Stripping out that key element demeans your actions. What good is showing off if no one is watching? But even if you fancy yourself a single-player footballer, this game still won't leave you satisfied. There's no Franchise mode included, the Season mode is devoid of context, and the only statistics that have been kept are for wins and losses. Once you do hoist the Lombardi Trophy, you're merely greeted with a perfunctory congratulations screen and the option to start the season over from the beginning, following the same schedule. The on-the-field action is adequate, but it hardly matters. There's little reason to play this disgraceful attempt at America's most popular sport. Like other versions of Madden, you have the option to take to the practice field to get a handle of the basics, though even newcomers should be able to jump into a game with nary a hiccup.

Review: Madden NFL Football
Electronic Arts' long-running football franchise fails to impress with its lackluster, and largely anemic, 3DS debut. The question any serious Madden fan is going to have to ask themselves before picking up a copy of the 3DS version is this: what is it that you really expect from the experience? Are you looking for a deep, feature-rich football sim akin to what you have when you play a Madden game on your Xbox 360 or PS3? Because you won't find that here. Are you looking for a game that utilizes 3D to enhance the experience of video-game football in a way that is unattainable with traditional flat 2D displays? Again, keep looking. If you're looking for an adequate portable Madden game that offers both its traditional and arcade gameplay modes with the ability to play seasons and not much else? Bingo! Madden NFL Football will make no one's must-have lists of 3DS launch titles. The lack of any kind of multiplayer or online options, the inability to save more than one season, and really just a bad implementation of the 3D technology suggests that EA just shoved this thing out the door so that they could have a sports title in the initial wave of 3DS offerings.

You can always count on John Madden and EA Sports to crash a launch party. When the DS, Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, and Wii all released to the public, America's favorite coach-turned-commentator was there to commemorate the occasion with a shoddy, half-baked entry to the popular football franchise. You'd think after five consecutive failed kickoff attempts EA would learn its lesson and choose to stay on the sidelines for the first quarter, but the 3DS version stubbornly follows the other launch titles into a bad situation. Unlike the infamous Xbox 360 launch, at least the 3DS version is playable. Developer EA North Carolina admirably crammed the traditional Madden controls onto the 3DS, and the moment-to-moment action doesn't feel markedly different from the console experience. Players move with a proper sense of momentum, and you can use the touchscreen to make pre-snap adjustments to wide receiver routes. If you're looking for a game that demonstrates the value of a 3D display, I recommend looking elsewhere. The game doesn't do much to take advantage of the functionality other than a few slow-motion spotlight moments that give you a chance to watch the 3D player models up close.
