Gather ye rosebuds...

This will be the LAST EVER release of Madden for Mac, PC or laptop, with Madden '09 they are going all console, all the time. That said, it plays great on my MacBook Pro 17", widescreen looks great, and got the Logitech controller, since keyboard play is impossible, quite frankly. I play the game a lot both solo and online. I'm terrible at it, and not getting much better, but that's because I'm an old duffer with not a lot of spare time at the moment to work on my skillz. Still it's an addictive game, and this version will be the end of the road, which is ironic, since with this title the Mac finally became competitive in the games arena with Windoze.

No Problems Here

I read a lot of reviews about the problems running this game, but my Macbook Pro (17" 2.33 GHz Intel Duo) hasnt had any problems with menus or game play, although I haven't been able to get registered with EA, which I think is a problem with my internet, not the game. I cant speak to Leopard problems however, as I am running Tiger, 10.4.11 to be exact.

Awful

I love Apple's products, so when i wanted to buy a computer game for my birthday, I turned right to Apple. The game arrived within 5 days and i put it in my computer. I double-clicked the game icon and the full-screen game came on. The mouse disappeared and i had no control over the game. It wasn't very fun

Online Issues
Written by SK from Minden

I was excited about finally being able to play with my friends online, however, when I connected to the EA site, it said that feature was not compatible with the version of the software I had.
Great. Then why do you advertise that you can do it?
Also, it takes forever to memorize all the different commands and combinations of buttons to push. Maybe if you have no life, and have endless amounts of time to play video games (i.e. you are a nerd) it isn't an issue.
However, for the rest of us who have actually kissed a girl, it is a problem.
If Macs are so great and powerful, why are they still so far beind when it comes to gaming?(126 of 242 people found this review useful)

DOES NOT WORK! I WANT A FULL REFUND!
Written by BS from Germantown

So I am wondering why Apple sells this product when it doesn't even work on the new iMac's. I bought a mid-level 20 inch iMac and then bought this game and the menu's are all distorted and the game is just unplayable just like everyone else is commenting about. Is there any patch or anything at all that I can use to get rid of this problem?
Ridiculous that Apple would do this to us and not give us any way to alleviate the situation!

A little bit buggy on my mbp, with the occasional freez or crash. But overall great game play. Looks good and supports logictech controllers. Two player is fantastic. thanks ea
