they have to find a balance for him...he was near unstoppable in 04

he was stopable... you just needed to run a spy every freaking down on him (and have a decent LB to chase em down)

Working at Blockbuster has one perk and it ain't the pay. You can rent the games/movies before they come out :p

The mini games are cool, 40 yard dash, Bench Press, QB Challenge, RB Challenge, Coverage Challenge, Lineman Challenge. You get 5 gamer points for just entering the screen, heh

Superstar mode is a lot of fun-it's definitely nice that it's back. One of the problems is that in franchise mode, you can sign Hall of Famers? LOL

Graphics are on par with the last edition, no real big changes. The mini games were fun-lineman and coverage challenges were probably the hardest (I tried them on Pro setting).

The sounds are greatly improved over the last version. You hear a much larger hit when using the hit stick this time around, and the crowd sounds real good as well.

I enjoy running a franchise more than I do the awful gameplay. And only on the PC, because I like to edit the ratings myself, to make them a little more realistic and accurate.

I predict if carson palmer can stand, and no starters are in jail, they are going to the superbowl. (and would have last year)

I always thought Madden was superior to the 2k series. I can't wait to try out the rookies in this game.

Oh, I didn't know that. So no other company can produce an NFL game anymore?

They can, but they just can't use the names of the real NFL players or the names of the NFL teams or the NFL name.

I'm looking forward to the game not having fatigue and Hall of Fame players popping up in my franchise mode.

2K owned Madden so EA had to throw money around and not give gamers what they want, variety!!!
