Ok let me say first that yes this is the best Madden so far for the 360. Now that being said let me say that doesn't mean much. Over the last few years Madden has become sort of a run of the mill football franchise. Yes the graphics have improved some what but nothing amazing. The gameplay, as usual, is just not believable. Linebackers jumping 5 feet in the air to make one handed interceptions. Running backs fumbling 4 to 5 times a game. The passing game is lke playing the lottery. Sometimes you win but most of the time you won't. If you even think about using a play action pass play you might as well chalk up a sack and move on to the next down. Now alot of people will argue that I don't now how to play real football or that I am a 2k fan boy, neither which is true. It is just that in reality this game is not that good. It has been living on the "Madden" name for far too long. Oh and speaking of Madden where the heck is he? He hasn't been in one of the next gen games yet! The feel of the announcer is just blah and you can't tell the difference in a pre-season game or the Super Bowl! Same presentation, same players announced, same everything. All you get for going the whole season and winning the biggest game on earth is a "congratulations you won the Super Bowl" on the screen. Now that is simply laziness. Total lack of anything special by EA. Shame on you.
