A real standout is the game's gang tackles, which allow some control in moving the pile, but at the same time is not too powerful. Gameinformer is a big fan of the optional minigame to recover fumbles, as well as the controller rumble alerting QBs in the pocket and the effectiveness of cornerbacks' tight coverage – complete with hand fighting. Gameinformer dosen't think the game hits on all the gameplay improvements that the developer touted in its pre-release blogs, but it feels good to be playing Madden again.
The time spent on the gameplay is not without its sacrifices, but if the dev team had to forfeit the player training feature to devote more time to give gamers presentation that is the best in the franchise and close to the revered NFL 2K5, then Gameinformer is glad. Gameinformer would rather see the referees discussing potential TDs, post-whistle pileups, injury carts, first-down measurements, and coach meltdowns, thank you very much.
Gamers are all about bargains, since most of us can't afford to shell out $60 for every game. What we we really want comes to do getting our gaming money's worth. We demand $60 worth of content not $20, we want at least 20 hours of game play, an end to console exclusives, quicker price drops, among a few other things. What about yearly sequels and same day DLC? Goozernation wants to know what other bargains fellow gamers demand.
Instead of analyzing potential gameplay per dollar spent, let's just agree that price drops are the way to go.
Be careful, they might drop the price of COD to 40 and trhen charge you 10 dollars a month to play....I would rather leave them where they are at then go down that route
Honestly if they start charging monthly subscriptions then I will not be playing COD anymore. I'd suspect the fan base would drop quite a bit too.
I'd go for that, I'm sure some of us would like to see more then 6 hrs worth of gameplay out of a $60 game
Agreed. Though most of those games have an online mode that lengthens the gameplay spent on the game significantly.
release single player games at $30-$40, charge separately for online modes. i don't use them so why should i pay for them? why should i pay a full $60 for something like cod when 75% of it is an online mode i don't use?
Well as far as bargains to me....60 dollar games are fine but if you can get the dollar per hour ratio of the game to about 2 or lower...that's a good deal to me.
For example, if I get 30 hours out of Reach (and I will...trust me), then that's a great game first off and a good deal. That's how I kinda look at things....Do I think I'll really play this for 20-30 hours? If so, then I'm open to buying it
If you’re into lazy days at the beach then this news update isn’t for you. But, if your idea of a fun Summer consists of pwning noobs in online tournaments and winning boat loads of money for your efforts, then Virgin Gaming has got you covered this Summer like a well placed gob of sun screen.
Ironstarmovement reports: "EA's Madden NFL 2010 predicted that the Saints would win Superbowl XLIV; though almost no one believed that the Saints could pull off an epic win over the Colts especially after their terrible performance vs. the Vikings."
I love all the improvements to this game. The addition of the half-time and post game shows add a lot. Though I do hope they expand on the idea. The graphics are the best I have seen in a football game by a mile. Can't wait until Friday...
madden 05 to me was and still is the best madden to date.. then, the menus were so easy to navigate, as you could just click on a player and have a sub-menu of options to choose from such as name/remove player captain, negotiate contract, and many other things... however, as i find with the previous 2 editions is that i am forced to back out of the view roster menu and choose something else. When you are into tweaking teams as much as i am, you find it to be a bit annoying and slow. another thing i like to do is search positions by key skills, such as catch for WR or speed for CBs, but it seems as soon as i click on someone or change positions, the tab defaults and then i have to click on the top to re-classify all over again.. anyways.. as far as franchise goes.. what ever happened to total control as in 05'? why can't control parking and admission prices? or jerseys and other apparel? i'm happy they have the show with fran charles, it reminds me of the radio in 05 with scores and updates. anyways.. basically all i'm saying is make the menus faster and more user-friendly and please give us more control in franchise mode!
