Features

The game inherits features from past Madden games. Other than the traditional 11-on-11, the game also features a 5-on-5 mode, returning from Madden NFL 09 All-Play on the Wii. The 5-on-5 mode can also be used in Season Mode. [6] The game also features GameFlow, a feature from Madden NFL 11 where the AI automatically selects the play depending on the game situation. [7] Players also can select whether or not to include GameFlow, or play with an arcade version. Standard versions are also available. [8] From Madden NFL 10 , also from the Wii, is Spotlight Moment, where the game goes into slow motion whenever a critical event occurs. [9] [10] Also from the Wii games, players can Call Your Shots, where players press the Y button to call their own routes for the receivers. [11]

Reception

The game was met with very mixed to negative reception upon release, as GameRankings gave it a score of 50%, [12] while Metacritic gave it 49 out of 100. [13]
