Buy it from InSound

Oh, Madden, how I love thee. I pre-ordered the new Madden and like every year I was ready to go and get it as soon as I could. I got it and am still amazed at the impressive additions that they add each year. This year finds you able to play as a NFL Superstar, literally building your character starting with their parents DNA. After you’ve done that you get to go in the draft and manage your player’s appearance, go to practice, sign/fire an agent, stare in a movie, and conduct interviews. Along with that new functionality is all the great love you expect from another tremendous Madden title. But coupled with this is the new way that quarterback’s throw using something called the “vision cone”. Depending on how good a quarterback is they have a wider or skinnier cone that you move back and forth. This causes an increase in defense’s ability to “watch the quarterback’s eyes” and cause interceptions. But what it caused for me was to turn off that feature since it was very unwieldy to figure out, especially in game situations. The last thing that I didn’t like was the repeated and horrible remake of “What Would You Do With a Drunken Sailor?”, which seemed to be the same thing over and over again to the point where I was falling asleep and hearing that echo in my head!
