I've been playing Madden since Madden '97 game for PS1, and while I didn't expect it to be as good as the console version, it was more disappointing than I thought it would be. The graphics would have been great 10 years ago, but they are well below the quality that I would expect from a DS. The worst part of the game is the kicking mechanic; you use the touch screen and stylus for field goals, punts, and kickoffs. IT DOESN'T WORK! All of my kickoffs are only about 40 yards long, and any kick except for an extra point is no good. I e-mailed EA Sports to see what I was doing wrong and instead of giving me a sensible answer, those nitwits told me to check the message boards at IGN! What was I thinking? They only made the game, why did I expect them to know anything about it?
