Summary: A BIG LETDOWN
Comment: This is one of the suckiest games I have ever played in the Madden franchise. There are so many rediculous things about this game I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with some small annoying things; when the ball is hiked the sound that is supposed to be players pads colliding but instead sounds like some messed up factory machine clanking rapidly; every time there is a kickoff the ref has to walk all the way up and down the field to place the ball and it takes like 20 seconds! It is so annoying! The field goal system sucks, it causes a lot of missed extra points which is unrealistic. Getting turnovers is damn near impossible. On field goal blocks defensive backs bob their heads up and down like african lizards, the passing system sucks-I have payton manning and randy moss and I still can't get the passing game going. The icons on the top screen are totally worthless. I cannot comprehend which moron was allowed to approve that system. There are all these different icons which are supposed to represent different players talents but it does almost nothing to enhance gameplay. THERE IS NO CHALLENGE SYSTEM TO CLOSE CALLS! And the list goes on and on and on...... Don't buy this game. Save your money for the console version. Take my word for it.

Summary: Tough for a newbie, but.....
Comment: I have never picked up an EA game until I bought my DS a couple months ago, and I had to try this, given the hype. Since I am a newbie, it seems overwhelming to try to pick up on all the nuances, the various plays, which player to control, how to control the kicker (both power and accuracy) and the like, but you know what? It is a heck of a lot of FUN! I play with my favorite team, the Vikings, and Adrian Peterson will still break off a 70 yard run despite my flaws on which buttons to mash. I have started the training modes, and can give an update later, but if you are a football fan, this is a must have.
