if you've never played it before, you'll probably enjoy it more than someone who's been playing it for years and years. Like any sports game that people play year after year, eventually they get used to it and become bored of the relatively repitive nature of the games on 1 year cycles

so for someone thats never played Madden before, you'll probably really enjoy it. If you have doubts though, then you can always just rent it
