EA has heard our complaints, and they now allow us to change the defensive alignment of every player. In 2004, if you are in a zone and see that Moss might be running a long bomb, all you could do was pull back the entire defense line, leaving the short range yardage open for a pass or run, and those small yards can make or break a game. One such feature would be the defensive audibles. Even though they may be small tweaks, they can be pretty major additions from the gamers' perspectives. Adding little features over time allows the developers to fine tune the new features rather than rushing to meet the insane deadlines (considering how fast games are coming out now). It is a clever move because if you throw too many different things into a single game without thorough testing, the results can be horrendous. EA is smart about this: they are going to keep luring the audience along, slowly and gradually, rather than immediately throwing all possible features into a single game. They may just fix small bugs and add an extra feature or two. We know that EA is famous for retagging their game system bringing out another incarnation. The real question is whether or not this Madden is just a retag of the old Madden 2004. With the release of 2005, the same principles apply. Then come back and tell me which Madden failed at being a strong game. If you question whether or not Madden is a solid game, I think you need to take a trip down memory lane and play the old Maddens. Don't get me wrong – extra features are always a plus, but no bonuses can make a game sell better than it being solid on its own merits. I was sold on the shiny silver version that had "Collector's Edition" stamped on the cover.Īside from the cover and these extra features, the game is the same. So is that $10 dollars worth it? You can decide that for yourself.

So what does $10 get you? Well, we know that $1 gets you a whole lot of minutes for collect calls, but what about the $10 dollars for PS2 gamers who splurged on the Madden Collector's Edition? According to the cover, the gamers who buy the collector's edition will gain three playable classic versions of Madden NFL (a version from the 16-bit era, and two Playstation era versions), 15 years of historical playoff teams (not much of an extra, if you ask me), Madden Moments (replay 20 of the greatest moments of the past 15 seasons), Madden Trivia Challenge (test your knowledge of Madden NFL football and NFL trivia with over 1,000 questions), and lastly, probably the most interesting, the hour of footage that shows the Phenomenon of Madden: Music, Evolution, Behind the Scenes, and a game producer's commentary (which I found quite boring). Even though I speculate that this is the reason behind their decision, most people will probably end up with the normal Madden 2005 rather than the sparkling silver version of Madden 2005 that costs $10 more.
I mean, why 15th? Why didn't they do one with the 10th anniversary? So many questions – so few answers. It's a nice gimmick, but I really believe the reason they did this was to appease Sony with their rule that for multiplatform games, the game must be different from the X-box version in one way or another. As Madden would say, "He was waiting for something to develop, and bam he got developed." The Collector's Edition of Madden 2005 can't demonstrate this quote any better.īecause of the series' "15th year anniversary," EA decided to release a Collector's Edition that is available only for the PS2. In its fifteenth year, Madden is at it again, returning with new improvements and features. Year after year, companies constantly bring out sequels, some outdoing their predecessors while others are only on par, and in a few cases, the sequels are considered worse.
