Considered by some to be the best entry in the Madden NFL series on the XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3, Madden NFL 10 brought a sense that things were finally changing for the better at EA Sports. As a gamer, I felt like the Creative Director at that time, Ian Cummings, was listening to us. We were finally getting the NFL game that we deserved. Chain gangs were back, stadiums were more accurate than ever, and we had a new movement system called 'Pro-Tak.'

Now, four years later, we have Madden NFL 25, a new Creative Director, and a new direction for the series.

Summed up M10 very nicely. Well done.

This and Madden 12 were my two favorite Xbox 360 football experiences. I remember having the most fun with on with a Madden game with Madden 10. I still remember my teams, players, late round draft picks who became pro bowl players, etc. I am thinking of picking up Madden as my third game (Target deal) for my ps4, and I hope that I can get back to having fun with a Madden game again since there is no more NCAA.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I won't even debate yours.

The one thing I will say is that any praise for Pro-Tak is seriously undeserved. It was purely cosmetic and not real gang tackling by any stretch of the imagination.

If I had a $1 for everytime Brandon Jacobs broke out of an 8 man hugging fest and turned a 2yd gain into a 70yd touchdown, I'd buy EA and make a real Football game.

Pro-Tak was window dressing. It had no actual impact on the outcome of plays at all.

Hey, the helmets actually look silver...Wonder why they downgraded since then?

I thought Madden 10 was an alright game but nothing really stood out. I feel like were reminiscing over Madden last gen just because next gen is on its way. Why? Madden last gen doesn't deserve it. Last gen was laughable at best and didn't represent true simulation of the greatest sport on earth. I'm not even really sure what to expect out of next gen. I want it to be a great game but I'm not counting on it.

Madden 2005 is still the greatest of all time.
