With all that glossy, manicure look, you telling me EA still Can Not put REFEREES ON THE FIELD? I'll wait until a $30 used Madden is available which should be about a month. How can you pay $70 for a game with obvious bugs. I'm still playing Madden 06 on my Xbox. I'm waiting for NBA 2K9 for a realistic sports game.

Anybody dumb-founded as me as to why I have to goto a "spot" in the endzone just for a celebration?? Why can't I just press a button with a preset celebration?

I think that was a true statement up until a couple months ago. A game with bugs, shipped incomplete, and with features that don't work shouldn't be given an 8.5. NCAA was and until its patched its an excercise in frustration because I can't adjust AI sliders and even then it won't be a fix-all.

So given that, Madden receives the same score? So Madden is broken, incomplete, and frustrating? From the review Madden sounds much better than that, but I can't rely on that score to tell me anything.

Pressing b on the 360 gives you a preset celebration no matter where you are.
