 BEST MADDEN YET October 12, 2008
Best Madden yet. The Madden IQ is perfect, adapting to your playing abilites. Plus it helps keep games friendly between myself and other guys looking to just have fun.
Madden XX "The best so far" October 1, 2008
If you like football then this is the game for you. Collector's edition comes with 3 disks. Madden 09 is for the most part the same as 08. The graphics on 09 are a step up even if you play on non-high defition. The skills IQ test is a nice addition. The game will set up according to your ability to play. Your IQ will raise as your game skill improves. The other side of that is; if you play like a donkey then it will show that too. Head Coach 09 for the person who dreams of being a head coach. You call the shots for your team. This is a thinking game not a skill game. If your not into the nuts and bolts of football this may not be the game for you. The 3rd disk is a bonus. What it's about? I don't have a clue. I can't seem to get pass the frist two games.
Impressive...!!! September 19, 2008
This is the first time I've played the Madden games... so I can't compare it to past versions. But when I first put in my console....I was completely "wowed" when my 61" tv lit up and sounds were swirling all around me with my Bose system.... this game is really cool!! And thank goodness for the virtual play, which allows you to learn the basics. It sure blows away the old football games from years ago!!!
Best next-gen Madden yet... September 18, 2008
The last few years of Madden have been plagued by stiff "plastic" looking graphics, half-a*sed controls, untuned gameplay (interceptions/fumbles galore), and less features than the PS2 version. Now, things have changed. The game is actually fun, with responsive controls and more realistic graphics. I definitely recommend the Special Edition as Head Coach is a great addition for the true football addict - infact, I play my franchise on that (much better implemented than Madden). Madden 93 is fun for 5 minutes to understand how far the game's come.
As a HUGE NFL 2k5 fan, this is the first time in years that I've really enjoyed a Madden game. Are there flaws? Yes. Some bugs kill the moment, but the improvements done in this game are truly exception. Not perfect, but a solid 4-star game. Maybe even 4 1/2 star once updates fix the problems (like adding accelerated clock and allowing for the old school PS2 "legacy" controls). Overall, the most important thing is that the game is FUN - and it has that aspect locked in spades.
Great graphics and improved game play September 17, 2008
The anniversary edition, as with all new Madden editions, has improved graphics. But this is the greatest improvement thus far in the series. The addition of IQ has potential but their first stab at IQ has some things left to be desired. Future editions I am sure will have better IQ function. Franchise mode has been good for years and unfortunately, there is little to no improvement here. I have not attempted the On-Line League function but it is about time they introduced it. I still would like to see an in game save feature that allows you to finish a game at a later date and this is something Madden designers need to introduce for the next edition. Overall this is a better edition with many of the same issues from past editions (AI still throws passes to players as they are running out of bounds, etc.)
