Just spent a shit load of money. It was my fiance's idea. I had Madden 05 on playstation 2. Now I have 09 on this, and I'm sick at my stomach. I don't see any improvements and I don't like the play selection... so, now the other person can see what play I'm picking??? WTF?

Anybody have this that can tell me what's good about it.

    Xbox live is the shit

    Also if your playin madden, press and hold I beleive x or a when you want your play, then scroll for a while and release the button to try to throw off your friend. Much better playin Live, no one can see your plays

    You really dont like it?

    Did you purchase a 360 solely for Madden 09?

    No, she wanted Guitar Hero. I might get use to the Madden, I'm not impressed after one game. Oh, and Chris C.... is the the only color comentator? Cause he's the only one worse than John Madden.

    You can get Guitar Hero for the ps2 though :confused:

    Or did she want to be able to download extra songs?

    I really don't have any way to respond to someone claiming that they don't see any improvement from Madden 05 on the PS2 to Madden 09 on the 360.

    The 360 is amazing and has a wealth of games worthy of purchasing the system for depending on what type of games you like.

    I'm gonna have to agree. I have both the PS3 and 360 and prefer the gameplay of Madden on PS2 to both of the new systems.

    hell yeah.....hopefully there will be more PJ to download as well. RB continues to impress

    and on topic, there are many way to fool your opponent or mask your play.

    I thought that was funny too. How can they really call it Madden when the only time he shows up is when you select the "Ask Madden" function for play calling?

    Madden is just a cash cow for EA and you just pay for new rosters and a couple of lame new features each year.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Pretty much. However, they aren't going to change the name of the franchise now. What would piss fans off more? No Madden commentary, or all Madden commentary (that you're going to shut up anyway....) but call it NFL Football 2010.


    You're spoton the rosters/features. 09 is the first Madden I've bought since '93. I'm a regular hockey guy though, so I generally skip every 2nd edition, maybe third depending on the demo.

    I'm on my 4th system since launch. I also have a Wii and PS3 so as an unbiased consumer I can say that the 360 runs circles (even though sometimes they're red! lol) around the competition.

    I'm the same way. I have NCAA 06 and wanted to get the new version this year, but I'm waiting another year so I can get the MN Gophers new stadium in the 2010 game. :)

    I haven't noticed a worthy attention to detail in stadiums/arenas in either Madden or NHL 09. I was thinking the other day it'd be a good addition!
