Yeah I agree. i noticed that too when I played the unranked game as the Saints. It was a little too easy to drop it off to Bush and take off.

Well, with all of the hype going around about Madden Arcade, I forgot about this:

Checked it out from my store and played a few games and saved 15$. Madden Arcade should be $9.99

Nah, this game is much better than NFL Tour.

NFL Tour was an abomination when it came out and still sucks just as bad today. If you want to pick up a game from the Street franchise, get NFL Street 2 for the Xbox.

NFL Tour was a huge step back for the franchise, and the poor sales from that game are part of the reason why the Street brand got shut down by EA.

You are right, though, that Madden Arcade should've been $5 or $10 at best. $15 is complete overkill for what little content the game has to offer.

Tried it for 5 minutes. Terrible.

I'll stick with the PS2 NFL Street games if I need a fix.

Played the crap out of it last night, the game's a blast and well worth the $15 IMO. Although I'm surprised they didn't just put it at $10.

I Agree-my brother bought the PS3 version, but was over today and we played my Xbox 360 Madden Arcade.You can definitely play D. I even like the single player mode on AllPro. $15 for a video game in 2009-hardly highway robbery. I've played ever arcade football created-this is the best by far.

That said, I definitely don't recommend this game for $15. Save your money and pick up a copy of Blitz 2001, NFL Street, Tecmo Super Bowl et al. Heck, you could probably get all three of those for the same cost as Madden Arcade.

Yeah, I guess three pieces of crap is better than one good game. Quantity over quality.

I started playing it offline, and was amused for a while. After playing online, I love the game though. It's a simple game, but its addictivly fun and good when you want to play a quick game. The roster update is nice, but im wondering how they rated players, and what each players rating is.
