umm lower than last year's actually, and i found it low since the comments were mostly negative... but what matters are sales so how this will trend we shall see

Sorry but in my honest opinion, coming from a Sporting game fan, this right here just made me dislike the game already and honestly think IGN is being very generous with the game's score.

Road to the Superbowl is the final mode, and I have to say this one is a big letdown in the end. Up to four players can hop in and out over the course of a full season, and when playing poorly the game actually benches human co-op players and requires the teammates to buy them back into the game. It sounds like fun, and on its own it is. When you see what the "season" mode actually includes, however, it becomes painfully obvious just how shallow the mode is. You can go 5-on-5 or 11-on-11, but the only other options come with either a full season, half season, or playoff mode. There aren't trades, any team training, no franchise-like stat tracking or options, and no extended play beyond week-to-week gaming. Local multiplayer is a blast in Madden, and this is still a very entertaining package; it's just too small overall.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

This review reads like it should have scored a lot lower.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Yeah, I agree, it definitely reads like it deserves about a 7.2. Well if IGN actually used averages it would've gotten a 7.6. Put it this way, this is yet another step backward for the Madden Wii franchise and a huge letdown for any football simulation fan. I still haven't bought a Madden for my Wii. It's just not worth the time. I don't want a PS2 game with motion controls and an updated roster. I mean Madden 10 Wii hardly has a career mode. EA if you aren't going to do a true football sim on the Wii, don't even develop for it.

A nice way to package an insult.

Well, I mean, traditional "gamers" aren't going to like the cartoony style. They probably prefer the game to be as realistic as possible, as to the "casuals" who don't really care about graphics.

I can't stand those cartoon graphics. It is not necessary.



Crazybone126 on 13 August 2009

That will probably be the BS remark that EA comes up with. Casuals don't play football games, why market a game towards them? The only reason Madden sold "somewhat" before was because hardcore players thought it was going to be a step forward. Now since this game is a LEAP backward, it won't sell on Wii.

Always drives me up a wall when they make the overall greater than any of the components. I'm not a big proponent of the "greater than the sum of its parts" theory.
