Madden is Wicked!!!:
Decided to upgrade from my Madden 98 and have not stop yet with this game. Keeps me alert and love the graphics that I was so used to. Just think I was never into football that much.
Madden 09:
Madden 09 is once again madden. It doesn't break any new boundaries. It's fun to play if you like football. Madden 10 is coming out in about a month so i would just wait for it, but if you want to get a leg up on competition then go ahead and buy this to add to your collection
Smiles and Adrenalin:
Are those guys (and gals) seriously whining? I've been playing computer football longer than most of them have been alive. Seriously. I'm an older fart to most of you, but for those who say this game is just so-so. Get over yourselves, please? I bought the XX anniversary edition for under thirty bucks. Nice deal. I read a gazillion reviews before opening it, because I own Madden '02, '05, and '07 as well as 2K5. The reviews made me think about whether I wanted to return it and keep playing what I have... more info
Outstanding game:
I may be a little jaded since I love football. I tried this game at Walmart, something I don't normally do and it convinced me to purchase an Xbox 360 so I could play it. This is an outstanding game, pretty close to watching the Pros play on TV. AWESOME!!. The only complaint that I have so far is that the running backs run straight up and seem a bit slow, kind of unrealistic trotting around like little girls. Not hitting the holes very hard. However, the rest of the game makes up for that. If you would like... more info
