Really tempted to get this at some point soon... thing is, i'm kinda new to the game of football as a whole.. so I dont know all the rules yet etc etc...

Was just wondering if there were any experienced Madden players who could let me know if id potentially be wasted 40 quid on a game ill just get confused by.. or is possible to approach the game knowing not a whole lot but still getting to grips with it? Any help would be awesome..

I got it and i havent a clue about american football. I just know you score points by getting to the end. Its quite simple really and can be fun but sometimes frustrating when you do not understand something.

It is a great game....the best Madden ever.....if you are new to the game then the game udjusts to you......you complete an IQ test at the start of the game.....i scored 613, if you are new you would probably start around 450....then the AI is set to your level......and if you want some online help...i can play you online and help you pick plays and defense

Its one of the most difficult games to learn if you have never played it before. Having said that, its always a great game and at some point I will be buying the game as usual.

Ahh sweet man... thanks for the offer.. appreciated..
I might take you up on it.. im hoping to buy it as soon as possible.. BUT im kinda broke atm... and Madden's kinda pricey atm... so hopefully sometime soon for sure.. really looking forward to getting into it all and understanding it better... looks like an awesome game to play once you know whats going on..

(Aside from the NFL IQ feature.. is there any kind of tutorial section available?)
