Judging from the reviews so far....

I am amazed by how people base what they going to buy off of review scores. I mean seriously if you are a true fan of the sport, you will buy the game anyway and take it for what it is.

I remember last year people were complaining the defense was too hard, now this year they complain it is too easy. One year the running is too hard, now the running is too easy. One year the blocking is terrible, now the blocking is too good.

Just wow. If you all do this for a video game, I hate to see what you guys do when it comes to dating.

OS User: Hey guys what is your review for this girl I want to ask out ?

OS friends: Meh......8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 7. She is the same as the last girl. She don't have blue eyes. She is too fat.

OS User: Well ok I guess I won't ask her out then based on your reviews of her.

but what if that woman looked like an 8, and everyone told you she was an 8...but after spending $65 on your wedding with her.....that honeymoon night she started farting all over the place....and was just not as pleasing as you thought she was......then on top of that, if you wanted the full experience with your new wife, she asks you to cough up PSN money and Live points.....

that is why I'm going to rent her first...if she is good, I'll buy the whole thing......even though I usually go after 9s & 10s.

I would give it a 6!! This is the most arcady Madden played in years. No defense, the game is just not good.

Alright, now that that's settled....get back on topic. I should not see a mention of 2K5 here guys. It was a good game, but not what the Madden forum is about.


Thank you

A lot of the negatives i see talk about how the offense is too powerful this year compared to the defense. Well since i strictly play offline this does not bother me. I'm sure i can adjust the sliders accordingly and make the defense catch up with the offense. They also talk about the annoyance of the strategy pad. Does anyone know if this can be turned off and replaced by the old way. I thought i read somewhere ian said it would be up to the player as to the style they would use. Another issue is the play action passing. This is something that hopefully can be fixed with a patch. It is no doubt disappointing that they basically left franchise untouched. But they supposedly fixed sim stats, which is a big plus. As long as the gameplay is enjoyable i can see myself playing thru several seasons before starting over again. I already traded in madden 10 when i bought red dead, so i'm basically forced to buy. But in all honesty, i would've prolly bought it anyway. It sounds like the gameplay is improved and thats the most important thing. It's just a shame they can't fix things that have been bothering gamers for years now. I want to be able to put my best corner and have him on the best wr the whole game, regardless of where he lines up. U could do this on ps2 in the past!!!

Well bro I usually don't base my final choice of getting the game based on people reviews and stuff. I respect people reviews and all. But don't base my final opinion on other people reviews. I usually play the demo sum to get a fill for the game and and look people reviews and get a good sense to wheather I want to get it or not. But my choice mainly comes on how the demo plays mostly. I loved the demo. I really ain't see no bad reviews on people saying offense is way to powerful. But that is what sliders is for. Then the thing with the strategy pad. With all the bad reviews on that. They decided to patch back in the old controls as a second option to make vets happy. So no problem there. Overall I think the game is going to be good despite the lack of franchise mode not been tounched this year. I think it is really worth it this year.
