Madden NFL 09 October 11, 2008

Since I bought my first Madden in '05, I have played thousands of games. This is the best product and it is the biggest year-over-year improvement they have produced to date. They have finally have the running game right.
I am 62, hate golf, ride my bike 40 miles a week and spend my 'hobby' time playing Madden, smoking cigars, and pretending to give interviews to the press about how a team owner can create a team that wins every game for thirty years.
Winning is easy, get a 99 throwing power QB, a couple of 99 speed receivers streaking down the sidelines, and learn to pitch and catch to the side of the field that the defensive safeties aren't. Add a good tight-end running a post pattern just in case the safeties are in a cover-two: and you are the king! I play on All-Madden, with the CPU-AI turned all the way up and only lose a couple of games out of a hundred.
Until this year, I couldn't run the ball successfully on the higher levels, and my offense was 80% passing. This year they have finally supported good moves for the running back, and my offense has developed a good running game: much more fun.

Madden has always been and will always be the state of the art football video game. No other football video game even comes close to the playbook, graphics, or playability. The playbook is intense for both offense and defense. It is easy to audible, but difficult to be successful at anything that would not be a success in "real" NFL football. That's what I love about Madden Football! If you run a play that would not have a high success rate in an actual NFL game, chances are you will not have success with it in Madden either. That makes this game as realistic as you can get! Also, if you want a collector's item, this is your chance. Note Brett Favre the Jet still in a Packer uniform!

When Madden '09 came out, I bought it for the Nintendo Wii. That was a mistake. Being a longtime Madden player since the Nintendo days, I was looking for more than updated rosters. I knew that the wii version would not have graphis like the ps3 or 360, but they were not even close to being legit. The gameplay and overall appearance of the wii version was made for first-time madden players. I then found out that it came out for the ORIGINAL XBOX.
The new features are very nice. Along w/ updated rosters, the gameplay is very smooth and they added "stringed-together" moves while carrying the ball and the QB evade which I was glad to see. My favorite new addition is the sideline catches. Unlike the old Madden, if the ball is thrown towards the sideline, the receiver will go for the ball while attempting to stay in bounds, trust me...it's really nice to have. I played the 360 version, and I read other xbox1 version reviews and I think it is safe to say that the orginal xbox madden runs smoother than the 360. That is just an opinion, which obviously will vary by who you ask. They still have the mini-camps and all the stuff from the '08 version.
Basically, they tweaked Madden from the '08 version and though they did not change a whole lot, the few things that they did add definitely makes this game worth buying.
