    First Madden Review


    Jon Miller (my mistake) formally of IGN for Gamedaily.

    Credit to evan217 for the find.

    He sort of skims over many potential issues and doesn't mention online other than a few sentences at the end of his review. So it's not the best review imo, but it's the first review so take that for what it is...

    The "review" reads more like a preview.

        He said there is no team re-location option in franchise...I thought they did do this... I definitely remember an EA producres blog on IGN telling us that they were doing this, and that the producer was loading points on the map that you can relocate to. Did they lie to us, or is this guy wrong?

          I think it was a brief but good review.

            Boy, yes I am looking forward to this game but I must say, even to the biggest EA fanboy this review reads like it was written by an EA cheerleader.

              Jon Robinson is an AWFUL reviewer. He's one of the biggest EA marks around.

                    Isn't Miller an IGN guy also though? Hmmm... Either way, I'd be prepared for more statements like this:

                    It has been a while, too. After two disappointing efforts the last two seasons -- disappointing by the high standard that EA's football franchise set for itself over the years -- Madden NFL 08 redeems the franchise as one of the best-playing football games in recent memory.
                    Gotta love how they protect themselves from how they rated the game in the "disappointing" previous years
                    HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

                      "players can't be substituted by formation" That sux. Also sux is that the worst announcer since sports talk football for the genesis, is back. Hopefully everything else is awesome.

                        That does indeed suck. No Reggie Bush in the slot...

                          Exclusive reviews like this one are bought. There is no way in hell a media outlet is going to buy exclusivity and then take an overly critical stance, even if it is warranted. There is no way in hell EA would sell or grant the exclusive rights to someone without okay-ing the review first either.

                            Huh?

                            The announcer in Sportstalk Football was revolutionary at the time and no one else was doing it. It was one of the coolest things ever for its time.

                            We have to look at historical context and not put old games down because of advances that came later.

                            I agree that the Madden announcer is whack, but at least the old sportstalk guy actually said more stuff, lol. The announcer in Madden sometimes goes a while without saying a word, adding to the boredom... but that's a programming thing and not the announcers fault.

                              I can't wait to run around and throw 60 yard bombs! Not a single negative comment. Just more positive hype for the machine $$$$

                              I will wait for the reviews on these forums before I pick this one up.
