We won't be fooled again!
I don't even know why they put Madden's name on this game, he doesn't appear anywhere. If I were him I would sue EA for defamation of character. Again rent first! I haven't purchased a copy of Madden since '09, and I only bought it because of the 25th anniversary thing.
This game is total crap and resembles arcade football rather than the real thing. With the preseason starting this weekend, if you have a craving for a football game that actually resembles football, do what I did. I rediscovered NFL 2k5. Seriously. Just do a little searching on-line and you can update the roosters and schedules very easily, and you can enjoy a real football game with todays players and schedules. I forgot how fun that game is and what a quality product it is also, plus the halftime highlights, game recap, and the sports center show are totally awesome!
Without any competition, EA Sports is just pushing swill on innocent gamers. The only way to get them back on track is to stop buying their junk!
