Sounds good!

This may be my first madden game >_>
This could be an early version of the box art because the wifi logo isn't on it.
Its probably the player on the top though.
the article talked about the wii control tutorial built in that sounded really amazing, too, making it easier for people to pick up and play
Wasn't the first one easy? Madden 07
I heard that 07 had a huge learning curve, but it was fun once you got used to the controls.
Everyone said BT2 had a huge learning curve, and it wasn't that huge >.>
Madden's was bigger than BT2 because there's more to Madden then BT2
No Shhh- what could they do to make this easier?
Who said they were going to make it easier or change the controls. Most reviews said that the Wii controls gave the game new life.
I didn't find Madden 07 to be difficult when I first tried it. I think the offense plays much better than the defense though.
The controls will just get better I say, they have more time to work on it, than Madden 07. And I know this game will pwn online.
Online? Sweet. I'm definitly gonna get it now. Although I do hope that they allow online play with out the use of the friend codes.
I still havn't tried Madden 07 so I plan on renting it once exams blow over.
Doesn't it say you don't need friend codes? ^^
I liked the controls of Madden 07 on the wii. Took me ~5 minutes to get them down.
Doesn't it say you don't need friend codes? ^^
You probaly only need friend codes for specific people you want to battle, like a friend or person from WL.
I'm what you would call a casual Titans fan. I like them, but I don't go to every game or follow everything they do.
All I can say is that the Titan-faithful that know of the "cover-boy curse" are fearing for their season. Vince Young did a phenomenal job his last year as a rookie, and he's definitely going places. However, to get on the Madden cover, albeit an honor, is going to have a lot of fans hitting their knees and praying to keep their star QB healthy this year.
