| 8.0 | Presentation It's the same as last year, now with a bit more casual focus. It's also high time for a new interface though. Maybe something with some IR pointing, and a slicker look? |
| 8.0 | Graphics It's a bump up from last year, but more could still be done. 5-on-5 mode is a neat idea, but even there things are a bit too simple. Favre roster update confirmed as well. |
| 8.5 | Sound Per usual, the ensemble of Madden and Michaels is a good one. Some EA Trax are great (We Made It rocks), but there's also some seriously generic rap and teen angst rock to wade through. |
| 9.0 | Gameplay Call Your Shot changes the game of football in a big way, and All-Play makes things accessible for the casual crowd as well. EA, run with CYS next year, and blow our minds with 2010. |
| 8.5 | Lasting Appeal Online works, there's more here than ever, but franchise and superstar are carbon copies, and that's where the bulk of the game time can be logged in other Maddens. Fun, but pretty standard in areas. |
| 8.6 |
OVERALL |
