Average Rating:
Rating: - Supposed to be a kids game, but is very hard and could be better
I recently bought this game because I was looking for a different type of football game. The graphics are not bad for a kids game but the game play leaves a lot to be desired. The computers passing is the most accurate passing I have ever seen in a football game and that includes Madden. My opponents quarterback would connect with 95% of his passes even with two or three man coverage. Also you really have to control the clock on this game because the computer can and has scored with a pass with only 5 seconds left on the clock. On top of all that I have to turn the commentary way down due to the fact that the commentary becomes quite repetitive and annoying. I know that this game is supposed to be for kids but I as an adult who plays Madden football I find this game to be not as much fun as it could be and it really is a little two hard for your average child to play. Also please be aware that this game does lock up every now and then forcing you to play the match that you completed all over again.
Rating: - Fun for the young, but with some flaws
My son absolutely enjoys the game. He likes for me to play with him, too. The game is fun and simple. Not a lot of button mashing or deep strategy, so it is very easy to learn. There are some technical flaws with the game (i.e., when you recover a fumble it puts it near the incorrect goalline. If you have the ball and you are moving towards your opponents goalline and you fumble at their 20 yard line and your opponent (CPU) recovers the ball it moves the ball so that the CPU is at your 20 yard line about to score.) This game is enjoyable, but you will need to point out the real rules if you are looking for an authentic game.
