3.0 out of 5 stars A step in the wrong direction..., September 21, 2006

By	D. Smith "DZA" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

Boring commentary by radio broadcaster. No Madden or Michaels anymore. Convoluded and confusing menu navigation. Horrible soundtrack. Gameplay is fun however, and the highlight stick makes it seem more "hands on." The button configurations have become extremely advanced and have a hell of a learning curve to get used to. The buttons deviate from previous Maddens, making you have to break old habbits of button-pushing and learn these new configurations. Wonderful hall of fame archives with highlight reels from many Hall of Famers. The main concern is that Madden is no longer calling the game. I can't get over this fact and it is a sign of bad things to come, since now it looks like it is Madden in name only. He actually made the game interesting and comical, and it really sucks not having Madden's commentary. I really hope they bring Madden and Michaels back in '08, or I probably won't buy it again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Madden or 2K?, January 14, 2007

By	Nicki J. Vibbert (Lapel, Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First let me say I have always played the 2k football games, now sadly they are not available thanks to EA buying the rights to everything!!! So what choice do you have other then madden? The graphics are good but the play calling is pretty bad, hard format and all of the buttons are completely opposite of every football games i've ever played. All in all its not a bad game, but if I had my choice I wouldnt own it.
Also My son and I always play on the same team when we play 2k games, sadly madden will not allow you to do that unless there are more than 2 players, he is very dissapointed, so we just play 2k5 on the ps2

2.0 out of 5 stars Stunning in its badness, August 7, 2008

By	Fooberman "Foobs" (The Molten Core) - See all my reviews

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I have long felt that EA Sports is indifferent to making good games. Having played this one, I wonder if they aren't actively trying to make bad games.

The AI is simply terrible. The menu navigation is complicated and incredibly sluggish. even by EA standards the game is riddled with bugs. The new features are a mix of bad ideas and poorly executed good ideas. The old features have all the problems they did the year before.

A football game has no business being bad. Even if the execution is sloppy, the result should still be fun (3 stars). That this game is significantly worse than that is remarkable (it is better than Head Coach, but EA owes everyone who ever played THAT game a refund and an apology; here EA just owes it to themselves the think long and hard about wherther making video games is something they really should be doing with their time).

Really, there isn't much point in reviewing an EA Sports game. You know its going to suck; the only question is how much. I may be dumb for dropping $[...] on one (they are usually fun enough to justify that), but I'm not the kind of moron who spends $[...] on crap EA puts in a box and then writes revoews with lots of exclamation points. If you have an IQ above room temperature, you already know any game by EA is going to suck. If you don't you don't care what anyone writes and are going to get the game and wear out the 1 on your keyboard reviewing it...
