Remember that Madden 07 was best on the Wii then any other platform.

...still not a fan of football.

Now, give NHL 2K9 a score like that and I'll be all over it.

Same here. Then again.. we are both Canadian, so, that probably has something to do with it.

I think that it is kind of weird that they say it is the best wii version thus far and they only give it .1 or .2 points higher than the other years

Thats because standards have changed since a couple of years ago, they expect this one to have better controls/graphics because of the evolution of other Wii games.

It's kinda sad. I'm not too hyped for Madden after reading that review. All I really care about is playing the franchise mode and it sounds like they did nothing at all to really add to that experience from the last 2 years. This will probably be the first time since 2003 that I do not buy a Madden. I'll rent it to see if it will be worth it.

I was hoping the passing would be like PES or how NHL2K9 would be. Drawing routes is cool but really not all that realistic. in real life at the line the QB just can't draw routes; they can call hot routes but I don't think they can pick any route they please. If the passing was more point and click like PES or NHL2K9 then I say there would be amazing realism. You could lead the receivers with real control, your accuracy would be vital.

Maybe I'm being too picky.
