I got the new Madden today, started a new franchise and played a game. First impressions are pretty poor:
There is non-stop video content including a half time show and a recap show. I could care less to see that junk and its hard to get out of.
The menus are complicated and hard to navigate.
The game play is a lot slower than 2009.
The kicking meter is different again and the change is essentially meaningless and annoying.
Product placement has gotten more ridiculous than the real NFL.
The only positive thing I noticed was that the range of player speed seems to be much greater. Guys slower than 90 are not worthless and guys who are really fast really are, more so than previously at least.
I will play with it more and write up a real review in the next couple of weeks. Not recommending anyone run out and buy it at this point...
