SummaryGraphics? DisappointingPros: I personally liked the mini camps...the tackling mini camp was the best/ most fun out of the three. If you like a little extra help with your game, you'd like how the game would help the reciever glide while being tackled to assist with a first down or touchdown without your control in rookie mode.
Cons: Graphics? AWFUL!!!! Sometimes you you couldn't even tell what team you were as the colors, depending on if you played at home or away, were almost identical, with no indication like player shirt number or team logos on the helmets!!! The players all looked the same...for all you know you could be Jon Kitna substituting for Peyton Manning ! Oh Jeez, contemplating the flaw makes me sick...

An overall MAJOR disappointment. If you're a fan of Madden's line of NFL games, stick to XBOX 360, XBOX, and Playstation 2 for your Madden NFL gameplay fetishes.
