    My son loves the game. I like how real-life it is, esp when it's not football season! We can't wait for 18 to come out!

    This was my first Madden purchase since 2008 on PS2. I have since played a few games and I am a fan of the gameplay. I know my neighbor and I are going to now have some pretty good battles with this game.

    Typical Madden

    It's a fun game, as most Madden's are. However, I wish they would bring back some of the stats that I enjoyed in older versions. For instance, I'd like to see which teams a player was with each season in Franchise/Owner mode because I find it interesting to see how they bounce around. I miss the franchise/team career/season/game records and wish they had more NFL career/season/game records to shoot for. Overall it's still a very enjoyable Madden experience - graphics a top notch, game play is easy to learn and has many of the typical features you've come to expect in the Madden franchise. I like that you can edit players to correct some injustices in the default player ratings!

    It had been a few years since i had played Madden. I had stopped after three years because i did not see the need to buy a new game year after year. Well I finally broke down and bought the game after many years, and boy has the game changed. I have had to repeat the tutorials to get a good idea of the game mechanics, but you know what? I have enjoyed the level of sophistication programmed into the game. I probably wont buy next years, but i am enjoying this years iteration

    I wasn't all that interested in this game for me personally, but after buying it for my kids for Christmas and watching them play, the graphics are great (except for Jason Garrett...he looks pretty bizarre in this game!) the game play is fun. The only thing is a little bothersome is the voice of one of the commentators (not sure of his name, but he has a whiny voice!) You can turn the volume down and ignore him. Otherwise, this game is fun and highly recommended!

    This is my first NFL game for xbox and I am very happy with it. I play head-to-head with my kids. The options for the difference plays, with offense and defense took a little getting used to as I was new to this game, but after a while it became OK. We now understand most of the different plays called by the announcers on TV ! I will recommend this if you have some time to understand the different set up and options before getting to actually play.

    This game has very smooth gameplay and improved controls specifically for the running game and pass defense. The running game is more realistic and challenging to find holes to gain yards. Pass defense is more versatile and the defenders are finally able to react and make an actual play on the ball. Also, in All Madden mode you can finally throw a jump ball to taller receivers and have a chance to come down with it instead of having it intercepted.

    I know very little about the nuance found in football. That doesn't mean football is terrible, or anything like that. Just that I was never really interested about the game until recently. Honestly, if you are new to the game of football, this is the perfect starter, as Madden is amazing with their tutorial system, explaining the ins and outs of how the sport works. The only thing it doesn't cover well is penalties (although that could be because I'm on 'easy' mode and so most actions are automatically prevented). This game looks gorgeous, and if you can get it for a steal then I'd highly recommend getting it as soon as possible.

    Having the ability to block FGs and punts makes the game more realistic. Game is similar to the 2014 version. Overall, very fun to play and an improvement over older versions.
