Here is the cover for this years edition.

Will get this again. Maybe this year we'll be able to play games that won't lock up.

Nice online co-op.

 

[The Josh]

Interesting addition. I hope the online mode is more stable this year where we don't lose games like we did.

 

[kain4521]

Thats true I hated it when we would have 10 seconds left in the game and it would lock up or boot us.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah cause we had different camera settings.

I'll finally pass on Madden this year. I have been soso about the last 2 years and caved. This past year I bought it, got the achievements and traded it in after not playing it much after that. It's still a quality game, but after nearly 20 years of video game football I am finally burned out on it. I might pick up Madden in another couple of years.

 

[kain4521]

I get my moneys worth out of Madden I play it at least once every weekend.

Yeah, I used to be that way. Like I said madden is a very quality game. Not putting it down at all. Just saying I finally reached my end with it for a bit. I am sure I'll get back into it in a year or two.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Madden is like a bad drug addiction. Year after year I tell myself I'm done with it, and year after year I pick it up. Now if EA can do something about the no-huddle cheesers, like actually add a functional fatigue setting. As good an athlete as Adrian Peterson, I find it hard to believe he can run off tackle/sweep full speed five times in a row...

I burn myself out on it playing it so much when it first comes out.

[The Josh]

Interesting achievements this year. Would prefer to see more things like last year or more season based achievements.

 

[kain4521]

I dont know some of last years were way too easy but I dont like the ones where you have to play against certain players to get them.

 

[The Josh]

Well, I like that last years where easy. Its a neat idea that you have to play certain teams to get them. It makes for an interesting twist for sure.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

All Pro will be fun

 

[KitFisto]

Some of those seem REALLY hard to get like recover a fumble in a pile up in the endzone for a touchdown? I don't think that one will be very easy to get at all.

Is it just me, or was Madden 09 not as enjoyable as say 2005-2006? I was excited to buy 2009 for my PS3, because i've been playing 08 on my pc since it came out. I couldn't help but feel disappointed with the gameplay though, not as much fun factor.

For me the issue was that for the last 3 years it's been spending $60 a pop on what ended up being nothing more than "roster update 2007, 2008 and 2009".

There were no real gameplay improvements or adjustments other than VERY minor tinkering. I know you don't "fix" what isn't broken, but like I said I got tired of spending $60 a year on a roster update.
