Great new inclusions. Solid gameplay. Awesome graphics
The graphics are solid and look better than ever on a Madden game. Animation wise this game pulls through as well. Gang tackles look great and when another defender adds to the tackle it actually compensates for him.
Gameplay is just amazing to me so far. I've really enjoyed all of the new features added in by EA. The Madden IQ thing is kind of dumb and I found myself changing the difficulty to All-Pro instead of my IQ based one because I sucked at the IQ defense but it was not challenging my when I was in-game. Other than that, rewind is just awesome if you make a bonehead play. You know that play where as soon as you release the ball you say....uh oh.....well now that can be taken back and you can make the right judgment the next play. I can see how purists wouldn't like it though. I think it would get annoying if you were playing a person with rewinds turned on. It is neat to have though.
The commentary is excellent. It's funny because I was just making fun of Chris Collinsworth when I saw him at the Olympics commentating, but he is very good in this game. It's a nice refresher from the last Madden I had where you could tell John Madden is just aging.
Overall I highly recommend this year's Madden to anyone who has been holding off from year to year, as I have, waiting for something awesome. This year is a good, well rounded package that all football fans should enjoy. (to the people who are knocking this year's Madden.....what more were you expecting? It's packed with stuff to keep you busy!!)
