Suggestions for improvement
PostedSeptember 26, 2008
The game play is smooth, and very enjoyable...but... 1) This is my biggest gripe: The "Roles" mode ruins a very good game. I don't know what I do wrong, but I end up developing 'team mentors' if you have 2-3 of these guys on your team, within a year everyone is either rated 99 or very close to it. If it is really 'ESSENTIAL' to have this mode at least make it an option under game play or set up. I can take virtually any team and within just a few years have everyone rated 99 and it ruins the entire franchise mode of the game. 2) It would be nice if we could edit a play book and install some custom plays (even if it was only 5 or 6) similar to how the earlier versions of Madden worked. 3) One other item that could use some help are the Madden/ Micheals sound bites...perhaps if you won a certain number of games or were playing for a championship/ super bowl it would "unlock" some different soundbites. I can't stand to hear "he is one of the best in the game" or "he will make 2 or 3 plays like that every game" anymore...so I just turn the commentary off. 4) How about more options on custom stadiums? Otherwise being able to adjust the challenge levels, computer AI, and skill levels, along with the audibles and play is very good. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Better Madden
PostedSeptember 23, 2008
This years madden 09 was better than last years 08 i still think there should be more changes to the game. The thing i like most about this madden is the super sim because if your like me and like to finish what you started you can use that when in a blowout game. The graphics are ok better than last year and the controls are ok the only thing missing is Mike Hart he was one of the best college football i mean i know this is nfl football but still you gotta remember him. Now as far as brett farve not being in the game i dont know why he is not i mean theres other players in the game who retired that are still in the game. I would recommend this game to other people. I hope that next years madden 2010 will even better than this with better graphics and more players who should be in the game.

It's The Typical Madden Game

Here's the deal, you buy Madden foothall games your getting almost the same game. I like the game, I don't like how they don't have icons above the recievers. I also don't like how they have those icons when you push the button to see what players go with what icons, they have these pictures instead of the normal square, triangle etc.. The overall gameplay is great. The sound, the effects. I think if they are gonna enhance the game so much then tey deffinately need to use the format for Madden 08 and go from there. Adding some of the challenges they added is great and also i wish it were easier to update the roster instead of having to get online to do so. I dont play online because i have to work and have two kids, so updating my roster is harder. I am a huge Brett Favre fan and may never have him on my game because of the update roster only online deal. Other than that the game isn't that bad.

Are you kidding me?

This game is "fan"tastic!! I've been a Madden fan since I came out of my mother's womb and NEVER have I seen a Madden game like this. The graphics and animation makes it look like you're actually seeing the person up-close and in real-life. I would never skip out on any Madden game especially this one. If any of you have a disgracious doubt about this game, just review all the features before actually, literally throwing it away in the trash can. Don't give up on Madden just yet. Keep playing it until you get the feel of it and like it. I know I did!!! To me,"The King of Madden", this is one of the best ones ever (personally I like Madden 07) that I have played. You can play your NFL 2K fives, sixes, sevens, too, but there will never be a football game like Madden EVER AGAIN!
