9 seems too high. It may be the best football game there has been ever, but lets face it, football gaming is still miles behind the leaders in other sports. The 9 puts it in the same range as other top sports games which seems a real stretch. I feel the series is going in a positive direction and they made a lot of upgrades, but the franchise was in really bad shape last year.

I guess I don't see it in the same league as games like The Show and the NHL series. Both games were vastly superior sports gaming experiences yet rated right around the same. I don't even know if it hits the level FIFA is at which received an 8 last year. FIFA has better gameplay for its sport and right around the same issues with it's franchise/manager mode. I thought FIFA was underated though and deserved an 8.5. That would probably put Madden around the 7.5 or 8 category which compared to the 6.5 I give last years is a great improvement.
