Personally I never have and never will trust Madden reviews. The series gets all sorts of special treatment by the press. For instance if any other game developer were to salvage ninety percent of the previous game in a series, and drop in ten percent new material. Well that developer would be throttled by the press. However EA gets away with it.
The question isn't whether the game is good or not. I expect the game to be as good or better then the last game in the series. After all it isn't like there are going to be some radical alterations. The question is whether the new game is that much better that I should spend twice the money to pay for it. I always think reviewers should go with that system.
When you think about it there are always two Madden games on the shelves. The one that is half the price it was last year, and the new one coming out that has driven down the price. So you have a choice, buy the new expensive Madden, or save your money buy last years Madden. Madden should only be rated against Madden. Obviously lazy methodology will never be punished anyway. When you do it like that you at least force EA to strive with each new game in the series.
