I moved to California 5 years ago, and certain things I just didn’t have time for, Madden was one of those things. Madden had morphed from a fun game into a game I couldn’t play anymore, it was straight up too hard. Lucky my little brother from NJ who is a Madden addict is out here for the summer, and he and his follow Madden freaks lined up at midnight to pick this leviathan of a game.
He got home post midnight, quit Marvel vs. Capcom 2 that I had been playing for about 7 hours, popped it in and wholly CRAP this game is freaking pretty. EA is always on point with their real life graphics and Madden does not disappoint in that department. Obviously I picked the NY Giants, and my little bro picked the Packers of Green Bay, both teams looked massively realistic and moved and felt realistic.
Game play is not as hard as I remembered. After a couple of snaps I got back into the groove of Madden, and guess what, it was fun. It wasn’t as hard as the previous installments, the characters were responsive which made for a very close game. Tried some of the mini camp games, nice spin on how to unlock trophies.
Defense and offence seemed to be more balanced. The last 2 Maddens it was real hard to run, it looks like EA the corrected that situation. I don’t like how the default sprint button is R2, but you can just adjust the controller setting to whatever you want.
All in all Madden will always be the Juggernaut of sports games, and is a must pick up for anyone who loves football.
