I look at it this way

OS is straight up SIM Madden Players only. We want the game to be played just like we are watching Tv.

After meeting hundreds of hundreds of people who play Madden I would say 5-10% are SIM players. That means there are a good 90-95% of Madden players are arcade.

Lets face it there are very few SIM players, That means very few people will be disappointed. OS is a place where disappointment happens on a daily basis.

90% of Madden players are Arcade- They wont care at all because they dont strive for realisim like we all do.

10% of Madden players are SIM- We complain about things because we want them realistic. Most of us believe Madden has failed us. Go to the IGN board, everyone is arcade and no one really complains.

Madden doesnt fail the general population
Madden Fails SIM players.

Do you think M10 doesn't deserve a 9.0? IMO, most games that get less than a 9.0 aren't really worth my time or money. I only play games like GTA IV, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Mass Effect, Madden, Halo, etc. Madden is the only one there that isn't a 9.0 or better. This is a seperate topic, but most games that are made are terrible IMO. from what I have read, Madden being in the 8 range shows how it is a solid game, but just not "that" good. Madden on next gen has been all kinds of not good enough, and that's what an 8 is to me. Madden has flaws, but if you just want to play casual football or even play "arcade" style you can do that. I haven't seen anyone really complain Madden isn't fun with excpetion that true sim is the only way they have fun.

I like to score TDs. I liek to run the ball I like to play crushing D. The computer is terrible and lets me do all of those things. The problem with Madden till now is that it has flaws that keep it from representing a true football simulation.

M10 is the closest we have gotten [as far as i have seen] and I think would be deserving of a 9.0 or 9.2 rating. I have told Ian before that based off of blogs and footage M10 gets either a B+ or an A- from me. my "final gare" will be handed out after I play the darn thing.

I've been reviewing games since the mid 90's. If Madden 09 received an 8.8 from IGN than there's a high probability M10 get's a 10. You have to always look at the previous version and determine new features. If M10 is like 09, then it either gets the same rating or lower. From what I've seen; M10 is getting the the 9.5 rating.

I don't base my purchasing decision off of ratings. I'll read the previews/reviews of games I'm interested in to see what they have to offer, but I don't let a review score convince me to either buy or pass on a videogame.

madden 07 was the worst (( at least for current gen )) they added like one new feature lead blocker and i never used it. That's why i don't rely on the ratings.
