8 is more than justified for a Sports game.

Its not that really i just thought it would be an upgrade from last year's version

Seems though me and gamespot well have opposite views :o

Kind of similar to have steak or hamburgers, and hamburgers is a downgrade from a steak :P

Pfft duh! EA can never get anything right, you think if they make the same game every year and learn the mistakes they made from previous games that they'd perfect it by now. But hey that's EA for ya!

Rawr down the toilet!

I'm happy with an 8 .. I knew Madden wasn't going to be out of this world but it definately does the trick ..

I'm an offline Franchise guy myself, and honestly I don't see anything wrong with it (Except progression) so I am satisfied.

Keep bringing the hate threads. Just accept the fact that millions like the game and most of them will never hear ur comments. madden is the only game with its OWN reality show and its on ESPN, so u know the game is big.

it's amazing the irony of madden's scores over the past few years. From 01 to 05 Madden would consistantly get a 9 or higher on all major game review sites. Then from 06 until now the score has consistantly been 7's and 8's. What is the common denominator for those scores. From 01 to 05 madden had to deal with the 2K series. But as soon as they buy the NFL liscense the game's quality drops. Funny how that works isn't it?

Sweet. Thats odd that I can't find the review anywhere. Maybe because I'm on the west coast? in AZ its only 1035pm right now. so the game isnt out yet.

Meh, Madden schmadden. It's all too boring to play sports video games. If I want to play a sport in any way, I'll go outside with my buddies and play them, especially football.

Actually it has to due with when ever a game is brought to a next gen system they strip the features and focus on graphics and them slowly add the features back in over the years! Has nothing to do with 2k series at all!

I agree with you about the next gen idea... but to say the 2k license has nothing to do with it is kinda naive right? I mean we all know that if 2k was in competition with EA again we would see MAdden greatness.... Like I tell people all the time I loved the maddens when 2k was out... but after the got the license they became real lazy IMO... sure they had to get use to new hardware but they have been on the 360 for a while and by this time on the PS2 they were making madden 2000 which was great and continued to be great until they got the license...

I hope they get back to that level someday... I mean come on they dont even have a decent online league mode... I am sure if they had some or any competition they would have the greatest football game ever...

Me personally I am just going to wait for the contract to be up...

eh, I'm not getting it anyway. But if each version kept getting higher scores then they would end up with Madden '19 having a 14.5 or something. Just a little something to think about.

WRONG! Go back and look at the ratings for Madden 01 and 02 for PS2. Those were the first 2 maddens on the new PS2 system. On avg they had a higher score than any of the 3 maddens that have come out this gen (4 on the 360). So please explain that to me

8 is more than justified for a Sports game.Symphonycometh

Yes I think 8 is a bit high for a madden game maybe a 7.5 or just got pick up last years copy for $10
