While Tiger Woods and his golfing game may be the current champ on the Wii, and could be making a run for the permanent crown, the Madden series will always be the one sports game the others want to beat. It is the game that other sports games are measured by, if you can make a game that people covet and long for as much as Madden, you are definitely doin’ it right. Every year Maddenites (I’m gonna copyright that if it’s not been done yet, so go ahead and cut the checks) start craving Madden as soon as the draft is over. Websites and leagues are formed, stats are criticized and applauded, and trash-talking is taken to an artform while the anticipation builds. Madden has gone beyond a videogame, it’s reached the top of the mountain, the game is now an institution. Now, we all know that sports games on the Wii can be hit or miss. Pro Evo and Tiger have been the only consistently good games so far. But, EA is hoping that with Grand Slam Tennis, FIFA 10, and Madden 10 they can become the masters of the Wii universe where sports games are considered. I hope that they can because I was underwhelmed by last year’s Madden. It just felt…cheesy. With the changes the dev team have implemented to the design and gameplay, I’m hoping to at least be satisfied. I know, that’s not exactly a glowing endorsement but, if I was satisfied by Madden 10 for the Wii, then I’d definitely be one of those craving and anticipating Madden 11. The latest trailer for Madden 10 showcases The Road To The Superbowl. You’re gonna get gameplay, features, and everything in between. I have to say, it is certainly looking like it has potential. I just hope it lives up to it. For now Tiger, Johnny Mac, and Footballers (Soccer Players for the layman) are the champs of the Wii. Let’s see if NFL players can assert some dominance and take the reigns for good.
