''For non-US gamers, American football is a daunting sport. EA's Madden-sponsored yearly videogame strips away none of the intricacy or depth, and so it's not surprising that it leaves most non-believers in a state of almost paralytic befuddlement. 'Bluegrass Miracle'? 'Zone blitz'? 'Flea flicker'? What the hell do these words mean?
It's taken EA long enough, but with Madden 09 it seems we'll finally get an American football game that doesn't alienate casual observers with its impenetrable action. Instead, we're going to be taught how to play from the inside out, every step of the way. And it does it by calculating your Madden IQ.''
