Let me start off by saying EA made a major jump from last year's edition of Madden. Graphics, gameplay, and commentary all have been tweaked for a better gaming experience. I consider myself a Hardcore Madden gamer and I feel as though EA could have done better with competition from 2K Sports. Since they have the license locked up for awhile, we have no choice but to choose Madden by default as our "NFL" game to play. In the gameplay mechanics, passing and carrying the rock are far better than last year(especially carrying the rock). But defense, defense, defense still needs some improvement. I still feels as though you can't really run a defense like you did in the last gen editions of Madden. You really don't have that "lock on" feeling while playing D. Although every edition of Madden is getting better, it's only getting better without competition of another NFL you can choice off the shelf in the stores. When 2K Sports had their NFL games out in competition with the Madden series, Madden games "definitely" played better. There is really no push for EA to make a better games except for the performance of the previous one. So I'm asking myself is this really what they have to offer or are they holding back so next year's Madden will be better. I love football and I have no choice but to give this game thumbs up, this is the only "NFL" game you can play.
