- JUST CALL ME "FORTUNATE"My son and I reviewed all the reviews for this game AFTER we had purchased online and we were both thinking it would have the Mr. Freeze issues. We had even pre-arranged to send it back immediately after receiving it because I could not cancel the order due to arranging for overnight shipment. My son kept reading the reviews and noticed where a few people said "they must be one of the fortunate ones" and considered we are a pretty blessed family and said I don't think I will have the same problems

- Too hard or too easy?On the hardest difficulty mode, it is very easy to throw 10+ TDs in one game, each over 60+ yards. My friends and I have played Madden since 1994 and tried every defensive formation/play possible (dime, nickel, etc) including prevent defense and other plays where the secondary moves back to prevent the long bomb and still no such luck. All I did was drop back and tap the pass button to the primary receiver going straight up field and the receiver does the rest. End result is 12 TDs in a 5 minute game
Rating:
- Best out there but needs a lot morePROS:
1. The graphics are superb.
2. The sound is as good as it needs to be in a football game.
3. The inclusion of online leagues (although gimped) is a plus.
4. The pre-play and controls are very well done but poorly documented.
CONS:
General: The game doesn't feel like it's changed under the hood.
1. QB sneaks still get great yardage if not specifically defended.
2. Passing is either bullet or lob, not much in between.
3. Lot's of little

- Best Madden yetAlthough not perfect, this is the best madden yet on next-gen systems. They definitely need to fix the challenge system for next year,but other than that it's totally playable for a change. The seller for this purchase was excellent. I received the game in 4 days in excellent condition just as they described it.
