Decided to upgrade from my Madden 98 and have not stop yet with this game. Keeps me alert and love the graphics that I was so used to. Just think I was never into football that much.
Madden 09 is once again madden. It doesn't break any new boundaries. It's fun to play if you like football. Madden 10 is coming out in about a month so i would just wait for it, but if you want to get a leg up on competition then go ahead and buy this to add to your collection
I'm an older fart to most of you, but for those who say this game is just so-so. I opened it. Go ahead, but you'll be missing out on tremendous fun. I doubt that it'll get much better in just one year. There goes that "option." of "returning" it. So it's actually nice that your eye doesn't have to rule them out in the 3 -4 seconds you have to go through your checkoff and avoid a sack.Heck, I could go on, but here's the skinny.
I read a gazillion reviews before opening it, because I own Madden '02, '05, and '07 as well as 2K5. I've coached and scouted for high school and colleges on the east coast. The game play is miles above earlier versions of the game. I bought the XX anniversary edition for under thirty bucks. Sure, that might be nice, and I hear it's coming, But the refs purpose in a game is to be invisible to play anyway.
Nice deal. Seriously. If you want to buy this and skip '10, don't hesitate. I've been playing computer football longer than most of them have been alive. I've played the game. The reviews made me think about whether I wanted to return it and keep playing what I have to get my NFL fix during the off season, or "dive" in. You won't regret it.Note: Chris Collinsworth's commentary is superb. if you've ever played more than just from your sofa you'll appreciate the scale of the players, the speed with which plays take shape and the subtle nuances.
Are those guys (and gals) seriously whining. I've played every kind of computer football game. This is a winner. If you want to wait until late in 2010 to get the next version at a discount. The camera angles add the thrill of Sunday afternoon network football to your game-playing enjoyment. It does as much for the game as Madden's unique voice and style have done for the game in the past. Get over yourselves, please. This could be called Collinsworth '09.
The graphics - the lighting of the field - is magnificent. Could there be zebras on the field. Madden '09, and especially the anniversary version at a discount is an easy choice. I've had no freezes and barrels of fun.
I may be a little jaded since I love football. I guess I should mention that I have the Xbox hooked up using the HDMI cable to an LCD TV. Not hitting the holes very hard.
This is an outstanding game, pretty close to watching the Pros play on TV. If you would like to be the controller of real players, get this game. I tried this game at Walmart, something I don't normally do and it convinced me to purchase an Xbox 360 so I could play it.
However, the rest of the game makes up for that. AWESOME. The only complaint that I have so far is that the running backs run straight up and seem a bit slow, kind of unrealistic trotting around like little girls.
It rocks. With this setup it is truely realistic.
the stadiums lack Personality.but overall, i cant complain, the gameplay is decently tight.the Superstar mode is the one thing that kept me interested in it. they finally got it almost Right. sometimes, your linemen do a Terrible job of Blocking. not enough crowd participation. something in the Audio field is just Missing. if you are a Heavy passer, youv got your work cutt out for you. the running game is spectacular and the tackle animations are Very realistic.
you cant just go Bombs Away.well.maybe sometimes :p but its all in the game. i actually enjoy it almost as much as i do the 2k brand football games and thats saying Alot.though at times, players dont extend their arms long enough to make certain catches that appear to be Right Over Their Head.which leads to balls being overthrown. excuse my lateness, i was playing NFL 2K5 and All Pro 2k8 aka the Best Football Games of All Time ^_^ while Madden for the past 6 years has failed to deliver us This. there is a hickup here and there Online that can sometimes interfere with gameplay. and for some reason, the Atmosphere of the game is somewhat Boring. terrible commentary. this is a mode that will definitely raise your eyebrow in a good way.overall, if your a 2k fan, your not missing anything, 2k5 gameplay is still KING of football over Madden Every Day. its a very personalized mode.and this was also in NCAA Football by EA Sports.
this looks, feels and plays like actual NFL football, i was pleasantly suprised. you pick a player and start a career playing just as that player. if you get Sacked as SOON as you hike the ball, theres a problem. this doesnt happen ALL the time but enough times to make you wonder. you do interviews, workouts, practices with the team, ect. but if your curious, check it out for the Superstar mode.or just wait for Madden 2010.iLL.
