EA does what it does best, take last years game and improve it.
The Franchise mode: has been updated a little bit from last years game and is now more of an owner mode because during the off season you can make a new statdium relocate your team and change your uniform. Franchise mode still has everything in it from last year and a little bit more.
Superstar mode: this year in superstar mode you can pick a rookie from the nfl, Create a superstar, or import your superstar from NCAA 2008. You can be any position except kicker or punter. The view of your superstar has been modifed and zoomed out a little bit. This mode is very fun and you should not be tired of it for awhile.
Online: the online mode this year is very fun you have quickplay,lobbys,ranked and unranked matches. The lag is about mediium ussaly it will have little lag or sometimes alot of lag and your game might even frezze you never really know.
Problems: Thier are a lot of glithes in Madden and if u play the game for about 3 hours strait your game might frezze and this is very frusterating if you have not saved in a while
Overall: i give madden a solid 9 because the gameplay and all the improved modes make this game very fun and probably take a couple of months for you to get tired of this game. With this game being fun their are a few frusteration thing like your game frezzeing or the lag in an online game.
