I actually got my for $12 as i traded in 3 games so can't really complain.
Anyone know the easiest way to invite a friend to play on XBox Live? I havent played madden online since the ps2 days and it's much different now
Put him/her on your friend list, everytime they are online you will see a little green light pop up on the bottom of your screen. Go to online play at the same time, its one of the game modes within Madden and you should see there screen name, challenge them.
Also Madden '09 has online leagues..how cool is that

sounds good, I'm assuming you mean that madden has it's own friends list? when i try it the way i would cod4 for instance the "invite to game" is greyed out.

Before you play the game hit the middle button on your controller to get into the xbox live page, you can set your prefrences there and add buddies
Then after u set it up, put the game in....update your rosters 1st...then scroll down the menu for online play and find your friends name..challenge them and then you should hear their voice over your headset
Its a little tricky to explain cause I need to be looking at it, but it is easy
You can also read up online and it will walk you through
not happy about the absence of the passing window. finally get used to it and start using to my advantage (fake safety, put one guy deep and one short in it, etc) and they take it away. bullshit. here we go again with the quick slants on every play.
All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.
The IQ test that measures how good you are at the beginning is a little skewed (especially since it tells you what buttons to hit to miss the virtual tacklers). It put me at the highest difficulty level and I got my butt handed to me. The good news is that you can still put the game on the default difficulty levels.
The game plays great and is very realistic. I thought last year’s game suffered due to the absurd amount of fumbles which made me go 85/15 pass/run. So far, the fumbles are only occurring when I do something stupid.
In case anyone is wondering if EA was going to bring back some of their most beloved features, you can be rest-assured that the A.I. 2-minute cheat boost has made it’s way back! That’s right folks, you can look forward to the computer controlled Rex Grossman going 7 for 7 in the last 37 seconds and the Bears kicking 53 FG to stab you in the heart. I knew EA would not let us down. Good times!
What the hell is up with Rewind? I must admit, I'm still getting used to the controls (haven't had a Madden game in years!!!) and I've accidentally hit this a couple of times after a big play. Talk about annoying!
Last night, I had a 3rd and 23. I picked it up with a beautiful catch and run...then I got excited and accidentally hit the Rewind button. Boom, gone! Of course I tried it again and got like 4 yards and had to punt. Grr!
Good game, but there are a few things about it I find to be annoying/dumb.

When you're at the controller select screen before every game, you can turn Rewind off.

yeah, I learned to stay away from that button.
If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

You can turn the "rewind" feature off (or boost it up) in your settings. I imagine most Madden vets will ignore the feature.
I could also probably go without Collingsworth "back track" feature where he pauses the game to explain why I'm stupid.

Cool, I'll have to shut that stupid Rewind off. Dumb feature!
I don't mind "back track" but he's always telling me something I already know.
More often than not he shows the open receiver who I'm trying to throw to if it wasn't for that 320 lb. lineman plowing into me at the exact time he got open. LOL!
This game (PS3) is really pissing me off online. I have played with a buddy of mine the last two nights and we've gotten disconnected during 3 different games. We finished 5 games (I'm 3-2) and the other 3 didn't count at all (no win/loss). It's really getting frustrating. Hope they fix this soon or I'm done.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

I haven't had any problems yet. And in fact, I've been pleasantly surprised at Madden Online so far.

Yeah, it's got wireless built in.
Just go to the settings icon on the XMB (Cross media bar) scroll down and there should be a network settings option.
It'll be somewhere in and around there. It's actually very easy to set up, assuming you don't have any crazy firewalls.

This one looks pretty straighforward.
I was wondering the same thing before I got it. My last one was Madden '03.
It's definitely a good game, and I think most die-hard Madden videogame fans will agree that it's much better than the last few years.
You should pick it up booomm11...we're getting closer and closer to getting a PS3 AET Madden league going.
