 Best Madden yet November 29, 2008
E. Hester (St.Louis, MO)
Although not perfect, this is the best madden yet on next-gen systems. They definitely need to fix the challenge system for next year,but other than that it's totally playable for a change. The seller for this purchase was excellent. I received the game in 4 days in excellent condition just as they described it.
Fun and great graphics, but...... November 27, 2008
John Minor (Clermont, FL USA)
This is a game with breathtaking next-gen graphics and is fun to play, but there are some deeper problems I've found. The hit stick is far too effective, the quarterbacks(no matter how sorry their ratings may be) complete about 80-90 percent of all passes, and I can't put together ANY kind of a rushing attack. So, if you like playing football just for fun with your friends you'll probably find this one to be quite impressive. But if you're a hardcore football gamer you'll see some problems and unrealistic stuff going on in this game.
Bring your learning curve November 26, 2008
T. Pasio
I owned this title on x box and went to x box 360. It takes a little longer for things to deveolope on 360, but the learning curve is a little steeper, not being used to the 360 commands. br /Like other Madden titles though, once your play a while, it is probably the most enjoyable, addictive and versatile games there are. br /Every mode possible, training, very deep Franchise mode...just a plain blast! Highly recommned this game.
 The best Madden in years November 23, 2008
P. Miller (Lake in the Hills, IL United States)
I have bought the new Madden every year since 1997. Some years the updates are pretty drastic, and sometimes they are barely noticeable. br / br /2009 stands out as a serious upgrade to the Madden franchise. br / br /The graphics are OUTSTANDING, it looks like watching a game in high-def. The play seems more realistic. You have better control over the ball carrier. br / br /There are several new features. When you score a touchdown, there is a highlighted area, if you go for the highlighted area it will go to a cut-scene animated celebration. You can even do a Lambeau Leap. br /There are players designated as "play makers" and are shown with special icons under the player. Some are better run defenders, or pass defenders, or elusive runners, or spectacular receivers. It would be nice if there was more detail about HOW this affects game-play, and what each icon means but it is not well documented. br /There is a "Rewind" option that allows you to "take-back" the last play and re-run it. So if you throw and interception to left and the CB runs it back for a TD you can "Rewind" the play (it actually runs in reverse) until just before the snap. You can then choose to throw with different timing or throw to a different receiver. By default each player gets 1 "rewind" per game, but this is configurable from 0 on up. br /There is a new virtual trainer that will allow you to practice some of your game skills on both offence and defense. They will also test you on these games to rank you, presumably for online matchups. br / br /Overall, I think it's the best Madden so far, well worth the upgrade.
