Game comes out tomorrow, and I can't seem to find any reviews for it... WTF?



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Atleast IGN had reviewed Madden. 8,6.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Metacritic and Gamerankings are your friends ;)

PS3:

Score:80
Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
If this year's incarnation is a reinvention, a launching pad for 2010 and beyond, the Madden future is bright, even if the old fella is piling on the years!


360:

Score:90
Official Xbox Magazine
We're happy to report that Madden NFL 09 represents the pinnacle of the modern Madden era.

Score:89
Electronic Gaming Monthly
Parity's finally come to Madden multiplayer, though - the new difficulty-balancing feature works great, and it allows me to finally play competitive games against better players.

 

Wii:

Score:90
Nintendo Power
So while EA may not have lived up to its marketing directive, it's succeeded in creating quite possibly the best, most fully featured sports sim available on the Wii.

Score:86
IGN
EA is showing a serious investment on Wii, and Madden NFL 09 All-Play truly delivers. Whether you're a gaming rookie or seasoned veteran, there's something here for everyone, and that's what All-Play is all about.

Nobody must of hit the required review score number.

If you are a football fan you don't have an option... if you aren't... just wait a year and pick it up for like 8 bucks.

I have it pre-ordered. I just wanted to see if they fixed the problems with the PS3 version.

I decided to go with the PS3 version over the Wii version.

Next year I will ge the Wii Wii version....

I just could not pass up those HD graphics...

EA probably embargoed low scores.



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

MontanaHatchet on 11 August 2008

Maybe EA actually decided to put some effort into this year's version (as the couple review scores would indicate), and thus it took longer to develop than normal (especially with the added effort towards the Wii version). I wouldn't be surprised if several reviewers were still in the process of playing/critiquing the game.

Just a theory, since Erik Aston's idea seems pretty likely as well.
