The Germ
Stop Being So Harsh!!!!
PostedAugust 20, 2008
I got this game yesterday and couldn't wait to play it. Even though I was I little cautious about buying it because of all of the harsh reviews. But still I bought this for the ps2 instead of the wii because they did make it to childish for the wii. This game is similar to most Maddens but with better graphics and some new features. And I enjoy them. And so does my friend who also plays madden. Last year I got 08 for wii and it was fun and it would have gotten it this year but they put so many different things into it that it wasn't worth buying. So I think That if you like madden just go out and get Madden 09. You will enjoy. And the bottom line is stop written harsh reviews for the ps2 madden 09 because were not rich like some people and can afford to buy a xbox 360 or a ps3 so we still settle with a ps2. Because it is still cool to play with.

Wow some guys have been battering this game a little too harsh. First off the gameplay online is superb. It finally does the toe tap thing on the side line, so like last year when in a clutch moment and you throw it you on of your guys and he only gets one foot in well it has changed. When i was playing online the guy dived for it and caught it while toe tapping out of bounce. The camera angles are the same but that kind of stuff is good because when they change that kind of stuff around it takes awhile of getting use to. The controls are the same so that means they way i always loved them and others always loved them. If you're a madden fan get it or if you never played madden and are looking into buying it for your first time DO IT! You don't know what you are missing out on. Once you turn it on you get hooked instantly especially if you play online. So if you're looking at buying it and seeing all these bad posts this game is pretty good. Not next gen gaming but still pretty decent for the ps2, And yes the receiver icons was still there.

Most people already know that EA Sports makes only a few upgrades to their games every year they come out. This year's Madden is no different it is similar to 08 with a few upgrades and new features. Such as family play, NFL superstar, and a few others. The online play is updated as well and over all is good. If you are looking for a different game than 08 then this game would not be for you. But if you think that Madden 08 was great you should like this as well it is the same game just with better graphics and new features. Over all everything was a 10 for me i'm a huge fan of this game and can find no wrong. I would think that we all knew the game was going to be similar to last year so i'm not sure why all the bad reviews on this game. Get it you will like it.

Why is EA torturing us in making a new game? It looks good in the preview and then I buy it and it is the same thing as last years game. When will EA make anything decent instead of this crap that they call a game? I mean what EA game since 2005 has been any different, if it comes to NHL, NBA, or madden. Stop only making improvements on the ps3 or xbox 360. Some of us poor people can't afford a xbox 360 so we settle for the ps2 or xbox and we get totally screwed when it comes to EA new Games! They add little tiny details like supersim or something like that. Nothing special! And in NHL how about make superstar for that, That would make you profit go way up, or college hockey 09. But you guys don't care about anything except having a good profit with the good systems.
