Most of the same from last year except for rosters and gameplay.

This game is down right fun. I can't think of any other madden, since 2005, that has had such great graphics and more importantly GAMEPLAY. People continue to complain that this game is "not much of an improvement; looks the same; just roster updates". Well let me tell you something, they are right, haha. But seriously, this game does look the same except for a one notch improvement in graphics, very little. The presentation is cool when you choose a prime-time game cause there is a cool black guy saying stuff about the team. There are a few annoying things in the presentation though. Every time there is a flag, the refs talk to each other for much too long; and it doesn't even let you skip it! Lastly, talking about presentation, WHERE IS THE SOUNDTRACK! I don't want to listen to some bull **** orchestra song. It's like the song you hear on NFL Redzone when the channel is off-air. I mean I love classical music, but there song isn't even good, AND IT JUST REPLAYS OVER AND OVER. They put music in the stadium, but that's only 3 seconds of the song cause they are too cheap to buy the rights to some music. The game modes are pretty cool, but it has it's problems. The connected franchise is hard to play online cause there are so many leagues but they only have like 5 people and you never know when they will advance the week so you may be stuck waiting to play your next game. The offline mode is pretty cool though. You get to set your prices on fries and jerseys and all of that cool stuff. It's like the original franchise mode except with financial duties. Where the game shines is the GAMEPLAY. The running game is crazy good. Before it was hard to gain 2 yards rushing, NOW YOU CAN SCORE LONG A$$ TD's. The passing game is pretty similar but the user catching has improved which is enjoyable. INJURIES ARE VERY BAD IN THIS GAME! Every single game I have at least 3 injuries, usually 1 which the player can't return. WHAT IS THIS! That's not realistic at all. I am turning off the in game injuries because it is just too much. Everything else is pretty much the same. Commentary in this game has improved a lot... oh wait, no it didn't. The commentating is almost exactly the same except for some little facts like "the falcons lost to the seahawks in the playoffs blah blah blah". I miss Gus Johnson. I think they should give you multiple commentators to choose from, that would be cool. Get Chris Collinsworth in this game too, he was the best. "WHERE ARE MY BLOCKERS, WHERE ARE MY MEN, WHAT'S GOING ON!?". I love that guy.
THE REAL REASON THAT I BOUGHT MADDEN 25 was... NFL SUNDAY TICKET! It is such an awesome deal, I just had to have it. Don't know why some people had problems, but it works great for me. I'm excited to try it out. Just connect the laptop to the TV and watch all the games you want.
THE BIG QUESTION, SHOULD I BUY IT!?!?!?
Depends. I am the guy who buys madden every year for roster updates. This year, I bought it for not only the roster updates, but also the NFL Sunday ticket and the improved running game. If you want these 3 things, get MADDEN NOW!!!!!
Leave any questions about Madden and I will try to answer them. Please give a thumbs up if I my review helped you.
