Well bro there is hugh difference between madden 09 and madden 10 . Plain and simple. Ian and his crew interacted with us this year means they are giving us what we want. The game is coming a long great. So don't fear Ian is here.

wtf is the point of posting this in May? Like seriously bro your about 9 months late to be relevant. If you really need to "start a thread", do some better planning and try to have a reason.

whoa!!! How can you say this? Is it better than 08? Hell yeah. As much as I gripe about the game, I would never call it garbage. 06 -08 on next gen - yes, 09 - no. It's pretty decent. I know it's not 100% sim, but no game is.....and no game will be. If you're betting on that for 10 then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. 09 is actually the first version on next gen that I actually play every so often. Is it a sub par game of football? yes. Is it garbage? naw.

The Madden 08 to Madden 09 leap was huge! Are you saying it wasn't? Are you telling me that Madden 09 wasn't fun or good to play at all?

I'm sure that whoady4shoady is not a Madden gamer and probably never was. He probably is still upset that EA Sports has the NFL exclusive license, and that there will be no more ESPN NFL 2k football games.

Forums always make things sound amazing and then when they come out they make them sound like the worst thing ever.
This happens all the time. The point of my story is YOU have to try the game yourself and form YOUR OWN opinion of it. I am surprised at how many people just follow what other people say or base the decisions on garbage reviews by magazines that can not even get their facts straight. People need to learn to form their own opinion. You will not know if you like a game until YOU try it out.

Line play is horrible.

Line play is huge to me and the lack there of was easy to see from others opinions. The other issue was franchise and since that is also bad.... why should I buy it?

I did not see a few movies because of reviews... example I love all the hannibal movies.... but Hannibal Rising was horrible and I did not believe the critics and went to watch it myself.... and it was a steaming pile of poo.

Well that is good that you actually looked for facts to base your opinion on. There are a lot of people out there that just follow what others say. Glad you are not one of them.
