I kept telling everyone Madden this year looked like an 8.5+ game, you can just tell by the gameplay videos and the Monday Night interview thing on gametrailers.

Well... so much for the Wii version to be miles better than the PS3/360s.

These scores are unbelieveably high for a football game in recent years. I hope there's a Madden 08 demo.

The last Madden didn't really take advantage of the next-gen tech, that's mainly the reason why the Wii version scored higher.

You really are going out of your way to lose respect amongst good posters aren't you? Crappy games don't get good reviews across the board. Period.

You really are going out of your way to lose respect amongst good posters aren't you? Crappy games don't get good reviews across the board. Period.

overrated games do. Every single 2K game blew away madden in terms of gameplay, but yet madden always stood a few points away. Most noteably was NFL2k5 compared to Madden 2005. 2K5 was 10 folds better than madden, but yet, it only scored .2 higher. 2K brought a completely new aspect to the game that year and it is easily still one of the best football games ever. Madden had the same formula, but hey it kept up and some fanboy reviewers still rated it higher than 2K5.
Hey, you can compare it to forza and GT4. Even though I still think the original forza was crappy for many reasons, at least many of the reviewers saw the innovations and scored it accordingly. However, with madden, they hand out 9s to it like there is no tomorrow.

I guess your finially learning reviews = other peoples opinions, here GS rated Madden 05 lower then 2K5 but I felt Madden 05 at tthe time was the best football game ever made....that was my opinion.

Haha oh wow right here we have a hater that has probably never played any kinda of serious play in Madden. You are going to tell me that Madden 05 was the same formula as Madden 04? Get that **** outta my face :lol:

The improvements from Madden 04 to Madden 05 were immense when it came to competitive play. Casuals might not have noticed but serious players and seasoned vets did. And that's all that really matters anyways.

So a game that gets good reviews from all sources is overrated? Yeah right. I can understand how someone can say a game like PD0 is overrated because it didn't get high remarks around the board. But a game like Halo that has recieved high marks from pretty much every where isn't overrated. Its a good game.

I still don't understand why people buy the same game every year, but my vote is 7.5. What I saw hasn't impressed me, as I could see little difference from previous versions. The graphics looked better, but graphics do not make a game, as they say.

The game practically has the most competitive fanbase on the planet even though its only popular in America. The game sells in a year what Halo CE and Halo 2 sell in a generation. The game quite frankly is a competitive addiction. People skip work, cut school, ditch girlfriends, cancel plans, ect for Madden.

College life is practically dominated by Madden upon its release. You can't go anywhere withtout someone playing a game of Madden. Its more then a game in America is practically a culture.

Madden probably has the most competitive fanbase of any video game ever created. That is why people buy it every year.

If its practically the same game as last year then why is it scoring 1.5 more?

What do I HOPE it scores? A perfect 10. That would mean the game is so awesome I'd HAVE to buy it. What do I realistically think? 8.something.
