    Re: Madden NFL Arcade Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

    Played the crap out of it last night, the game's a blast and well worth the $15 IMO. Although I'm surprised they didn't just put it at $10.

      I Agree-my brother bought the PS3 version, but was over today and we played my Xbox 360 Madden Arcade.You can definitely play D. I even like the single player mode on AllPro. $15 for a video game in 2009-hardly highway robbery. I've played ever arcade football created-this is the best by far.

        I'm guessing the max you can go is 2 per side, but I haven't tested it to confirm.

        That said, I definitely don't recommend this game for $15.

        Save your money and pick up a copy of Blitz 2001, NFL Street, Tecmo Super Bowl et al.

        Heck, you could probably get all three of those for the same cost as Madden Arcade.
        Yeah, I guess three pieces of crap is better than one good game. Quantity over quality.

          I started playing it offline, and was amused for a while. After playing online, I love the game though. It's a simple game, but its addictivly fun and good when you want to play a quick game. The roster update is nice, but im wondering how they rated players, and what each players rating is.

            Trying to defend the run is tough unless you BLITZ (LB) and shed block with your defensive linemen (there's only one for those that haven't played the game) to the opposite side of the BLITZ. I tried regular pass defense and controlling Ray Lewis, but my skill level rendered me ineffective. Appears to be a big difference in Pro (mandatory in Ranked games) and All Pro from a defensive stand point.
            I'd also like a look at the player ratings in this game, and also the ability to edit players (available in the very similar Wi version). Once again well worth the $15!

              I'll stick with the PS2 NFL Street games if I need a fix.
              You need to try harder if you take NFL Street over this game.

                Since you can't access the option menu in the demo. Could someone maybe post which options are available? Can you turn down the background music during the game for instance?

                    A lot more fun than the "other" Madden. Your (6) year old son has good taste.

                      As others have said, my biggest compliment with this game is that you can play defense.

                      Some Notes:
                      - Chris Johnson is a LOT of fun to play with, but my brother shuts me down every time with him.
                      - If you can find three friends, try the 2 on 2 game. It's like a virtual game of backyard football. I was drawing routes on my hand to for my cousin to run with the RB or WR.
                      - The game breakers are fun and do not happen to frequently to ruin the competitiveness of the game. There will be times you feel you are getting screwed over, but you won't complain when it happens to you. I played a guy last night who was 166-38 and I was 5-6.
                      I took a quick 14-0 lead and actually led 22-8 before having a chance to win the game... Long story short, I fumbled on the 1 yard line on my first drive, got an interception on the 1 yard line of myself and then proceeded to fumble the ball in the endzone. He picked it up and scored the touchdown to win 34-28.

                      This is a game that you can pick up and play, but it's not for everyone.

                        Standard stuff-you can change volume of Stadium Speakers, On Field, music, etc. The field is 60 yards long. The default is start at the 20 (60 Yard Field) with 4 plays to score, Gamechangers ON, 30 points to win, Pro Level. You can change Points To Win from 6-48, Ball Starts On Own 10, Own 20, MIDFIELD, Opponent 20, Opponent 10, Number Of Downs from 1-5, Turn Gamechangers ON or OFF, and adjust the skill level. All Ranked Matches use default ONLY.

                          IMO, this game is worthless. It's Madden reskinned. I was almost expecting some kind of different gameplay, like NFL Blitz, with big hits and such.

                            (Yeah we need another NFL Blitz)Totally disagree-game is fantastic. Madden reskinned? What does that even mean?

                              There's just no difference between playing Madden and this game, except powerups.

                                I love Blitz the League series games. Definitely hoping they make another one of them. With regards to the arcade version, are there new animations? I saw some on the screen graphic overlays, but couldn't quite tell if there were new animations in the videos.
