Adequate, not Awesome.
For instance, teams only have home/away jerseys, no alternates are available. John Madden's voice is non-existent in the game, you get to listen to the generic PA announcer whether it's an exhibition or a franchise game. The frame rate can be choppy at times, yet when things do run smooth, the game looks great. The stadiums look more life-like than its predecessors and the player models are vivid. Yet, it's hard to believe that the kicker can have biceps just as big as the tight ends, so I think EA could do a better job of differentiating the various positional player models. The soundtrack is amazing, personally, I enjoy the classic NFL films tracks the most.
Thus, Madden is still a fun football game to play, but if you are looking for an in-depth and long lasting football experience, you'd be better off waiting awhile.
