Madden NFL 10 Top Quality

Madden has disapointed me in recent years. But, they have almost totally redeemed themselves with this years release. The graphics have been cranked up a notch or two. The default game speed is a bit more realistic. The achievements aren't too difficult either. There are a couple tough ones in there, and a couple more that are based on pure opportunity, basically meaning you can't really target them to complete.

Now that you have heard the praise, here are the gripes. There are some AI issues that still remain after all these years. WORST of all, the superhuman defensive backs that come from ALL THE WAY from across the field to knock down passes, intercept passes, or make tackles. The biggest gripe aside from that, is all of the DLC NOT being included in the game. The AFL presentation and uni's, why are they NOT already in the game considering the AFL recognition going on this season? WHY am I paying extra for that crap? Also, what about the online franchise mishap? How does that happen, and WHY is that being considered an add-on? I will say this though, as much as I like this years Madden, it will be the last one I buy if they continue to nickel and dime us gamers to DEATH with DLC that IS part of what makes a sports game a sports game. EA is finally stepping up their game with this years lineup, but I am tired of paying $60 for a new title, then being robbed days-weeks-a month later by having to pay for something that was already on the disc, and IS part of the game anyway! Fix it EA, or my days of buying your sports titles are OVER! $60 for a yearly release of a sports game is ROBBERY! Sports games should be no more than $30 to $40 for yearly releases. They are garbage after sometimes less than a year. Or how about this EA, charge $30 for yearly roster updates, and every two or three years when you actually improve the graphics engine and AI, THEN charge $60 for the legitimate new version.
