Bill Abner's Blog- The Sim Reviewer

[Phixius]

His review proves that the demo is basically the final build of Madden. The same holes Bill listed were in the demo as well. Now people can stop posting "it's just a demo" because that's irrelevant.

I want more!


The game keeps sounding better and better.

And people like Bill can give more balanced impressions.

For instance, it doesn't happen every game, it can be remedied with sliders, etc.....

It's like he said, 2k5 had broken franchise, but people kept coming back for more because of the varied game play.

Sorry, I disagree that everything you see in the demo you see on the retail version. I don't have any reason to believe Ian and company didn't do some tweeking and tuning between demo and gold version.

He also said its nothing that sliders wouldn't fix if you watched the AD video.

I'm just glad we have sliders this year, and because of that I'm sure just about every issue can be remedied. About time there's a Madden game I can get excited about.

Shh... that wouldn't have enabled him to push his agenda or use the phrase "the matrix".

Don't let logic interrupt his crusade.

Yeah, his agenda isn't to apparent is it?
