I excitedly downloaded the Abbey Road DLC, and after a couple playthroughs, I'm both delighted and disappointed. Straight off, it's hard to argue that the DLC is worth the money strictly in a monetary sense simply because so many of the songs are already on the Beatles: Rock Band disc.

Playing on five-minute quarters, it can take me half-an-hour or more to play one game. That's not a lot of time, but I often find myself wishing that Madden offered the ability for me to save my game while I'm playing. More
