Positive words on Madden- Bill Abner

If you think the AI is the same as last year you're crazy the db's play way better the lb's when in zone do what there supposed to.

Nobody, really. He was just a regular dude on Usenet a few years back, posting like you or I do about sports videogames on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.sports. Somehow, he parlayed that into an "internet videogame journalist"...and now he acts like he is a messiah of sports gaming.

That may be, but he tells it like it is and it usually rings true. I think that is the reason he is respected. You certainly can't rely on the gaming sites, the ratings for Madden and NCAA are always a joke.

Not impressed with the demo thats for sure. I want to play a little D, but since there is no d in the demo, its not going ot happen for me. NO way am i going to drop 60 bucks or even 7 bucks to rent it. I dont know why they released a damn demo with no player controlled Defense.

Making it even worse, is the fact that there are no CPU sliders to adjust this year (even though EA's sliders usually do not work anyways). No use in hoping it will get addressed next year because, it hasn't been addressed for 4 years in a row. I'll just try to enjoy the game for what it is, and then shelve it once NBA2K9 comes out just like I do every year....

I do the same thing every year too. Too bad EA will be buying out Take2 though....2K9 may be the last great basketball game I see in my liftime....ugh

i LOVED the way he sees the game, and most of the time, maybe 99% i agree with him. I have a blast reading his blog as well.

I respect Bill´s opinion A LOT.. more than any other member on this forum.

By the way thank you Bill for your thoughts on both Madden and HC

this is really good news for me because i don't do online (would it kill ea to buy some servers?), but i love playing against another person. at least they finally seem to have gotten that part right.
