Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It is very disappointing to see how little progress EA has made with this game over the years. I first played Madden years ago on the original Sega video game, but it was pretty weak because it did not allow the user sufficient control of the playing field and the plays in general. My wife bought me this for Christmas this year and I was shocked to see many of the same problems still exist. I used to love playing Techmo on the original Nintendo, and even though the graphics are not very good, it is still head and shoulders over Madden.
Really, the only difference between this and the older version is that they have added a heap of difficult-to-navigate menus that really take away from the game. Another problematic area for this game is the techniques required to pass a freakin football. Some pass plays can be completed by pressing the return key, while others can't. In some cases, the user has to press 5 keys just to pass the ball. Against a good defense, this leaves little or no time to get the ball off. As for player movement, the graphics are slow and choppy and the players accelerate in a quick, unnatural manner. I would expect this sort of problem from older less sophisticated games, but not from a franchise like madden that's been around for ten years. Another problem is the absolute lack of control on the defensive side of the ball. As a player, you will quickly find that you have little or no power to stop, sack or disrupt a play. It is almost like role playing in that you pick a defense and just hope that it stops the play. You do have control over a single defensive player, which you can change, but its pretty useless.
Take my advice, try some of the others out there before you waste money on this....
