The best sports video game franchise is back, with another installment in the Madden series. Madden 2012 offers a deeper franchise mode, better presentation, and a whole new collision system. Those are only a few of the features and it seems like it is the best one yet. I still haven't bought it, so I will have to find out for myself. Even if it isn't the best one in the franchise, here are my five favorite Madden's ever. 

5. Madden 2007: Up until this game came out, the offensive line was a position you ignored. Being able to control your offensive linemen while your RB runs behind you was a great feature for a while, but it got boring after so many games. 

4. Madden 2005: I love playing offense on the Madden video game franchise, but I have to give some respect to the defense, because it does win championships. The new defensive features included a new play-making ability on defense. You could select if you wanted a certain defender to blitz or if you wanted your safeties to cover a certain zone. Great features, if you love defense. 

3. Madden 2004: The Madden curse seemed to go a little bit to far when the cover man was sentenced to two years in prison. Besides that, it was a great game. A year before the defensive play-making ability came along, the offense was focused on in the 2004 edition. One of my favorite features in the game is if you were rolling out of the pocket, you could tell your receiver where to go, which was useful if Mike Vick was your QB. 

2. Madden 2006: This is probably my favorite Madden of all time just because of the QB vision and how it made any QB as accurate as Tom Brady. Its surprising that the QB vision option has not been able to last, but another feature has. When you press a certain button (lets say X) and the directional pad, the ball goes where you want it to. 

1. Madden 2011: What was better for New Orleans then having their team win the Super Bowl? How about having their star QB on the cover of the best football franchise ever. Yep, it was a great year to be a Saints fan. It is also great to play this game. Instead of wasting half the game on picking games, Madden 2011 featured a unique gameflow feature. It let you pick certain plays for certain situations and it saved a lot of time and let you shut out the computer even more often.
