Madden NFL 2010
ELECTRONIC ARTS (XBOX 360, PS3, PS2, WII, PSP, DS, IPHONE)
John Madden has retired, but his franchise is still going strong. Once again, hard-core football fans will sit down enmasse to pummel the opposing team.
Rocks:
The game is moving more toward simulation than arcade, with injury reports that have consequences for your team and Procedural Tackling that makes taking down players much more lifelike. Instead of having to wait for scripted action to play out, what happens in the up-to-nine-man tackle depends mostly on your players’ stats and your gifted thumbs. You can also now run the Wildcat formation, if that’s something you’ve been itching to do.
Flops:
In a turn away from realism, the grass is totally flat-looking. Also, we’re not really sure if this is a flop, but two NFL stars share in the Madden Curse of the Cover Photo: Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald. Good luck, guys.
