Meh, man. Meh.

It feels like refurbished chaos. But there are no "new" features. We've seen it all before, and they really aren't even upgrades of the old features. The gameplay feels different, and there's part of it I really like.

But attempting to shed a block in Madden realistically has still never been in the game. Once you're suctioned onto a OT, you're pretty much done unless it's a coverage sack.

Just once, I want to see Hali do his duck and shed move with his hands and get around a LT. And I want to see Houston bullrush a RT back into the QB. The shit doesn't happen.

And Madden still doesn't know how to use defenses correctly. A 1 gap and 2 gap are all the same in Madden.

And I didn't even like the gameplay in 2K. But damn I've grown to hate EA more and more each year.

This is a good way of describing it. It all seems familiar, but it's all just busier and lounder and bullshittier. The menu screens are overwhelming and the game itself is tweaked and shiny in mostly meaningless ways.

I can do this in Madden 2008 on the PC.
