Is Madden a buy or no buy in your opinion?

I have been thinking about getting Madden and I am a football fan but I would just like some feedback from those that have the game. I have some great things about it and some not so great things so I am just seeing what you guys think. Thanks

I prefer NCAA to MAdden because I like the recruiting aspect and being able to choose between 117+ teams ... as to where in Madden, you draft and manage finances and play the same game over and over, playoffs, Super Bowl - Repeat

Give me Bowl Games and the possibility of losing to the CPU (Heisman jacked up) - A lot more variety in NCAA

This year's Madden features a new playcalling system that sucks ( you can change it, but it shouldn't have been changed int he first place )

- MAdden also has unbelievably bad blocking AI and pass defense ... NCAA made improvments on ALL of the above ...

If you want a TRUE football experience, get NCAA 11

Madden isn't for me. I'm in the UK so it's football (soccer) for me. FIFA 11 all the way.

Buying Madden is a no brainer. Get it! Trust, it will not let you down!

If you read the Gamespot review, it's reviewed as the best Madden yet. It does have the best graphics we've ever seen in a Madden release. Also, I feel that they have made improvements to the AI. I have yet to see the stupid mistake of having 2 receivers running in to one another on a crossing route.

But is it THAT much better than Madden 10? Honestly not really. Don't get me wrong I still find it really fun, but some things I don't like. They introduced this new playcalling system called "Gameflow." I honestly hate it. I was playing against one of my friends and this new feature takes ALL of the thinking out of the game. It's like you don't actually even beat your opponents, you just get lucky. I think it's dumb.

Other than that though I really like the game. At the end of the day it's personal choice. But I'd ask yourself these questions: What is the last Madden you own? Do you want to play online? Are the single player modes really really important? If your answers to the last 2 are no and yes respectively, I'd recommend NCAA over Madden.

It's a buy every few years, but not every year.

Madden 09 and 11 are the ones that are worth buying this gen.

save your money and get 2010 from the bargain bin.

No buy, for anything EA since the exclusive rights for the NFL. No competiton means you will never get the best product only one dev coming up with ideas and no reason to.wooooode
