I really respect the reviewer for his opinions. In fact, I've been searching the internet & various forums for 09 reviews (I'm not going to rush out and buy fool's gold) and this is by far THE BEST review I've come across. Great job!

I agree with other posters on here that the AI out-of-bounds issue was glossed over. It, to me, is a gamebreaker because I'd rather lose a game due to me being short-sighted with my gameplan and not because the CPU was too dumb to stay in bounds.

I also agree with the patching issue. EA, especially with the Madden franchise, uses it as a crutch instead of a last resort. While I greatly appreciate that technology has reached a point where we can fix flaws in games, it still irks me that games, especially a big time franchise that sells millions like Madden, are allowed to be shipped & sold without enough testing & quality control.
