Madden 2009

What a piece of crap! I knew it was a bad idea to buy a football game but some of my friends talked me into it. Man, this game is [u]BUGGY![u] With EA holding all the cards it must not matter if the game is playable or not.

I'd really like it if you sent it to me

Lol? Madden 09 is the best Madden in years!

Perfect Stu · 08-13-2008, 10:39 PM

dude, you're way off. the last couple next gen offers were disappointing, but this year EA has turned a corner. the gameplay is way deeper, the graphics are slicker, and it just feels a lot smoother.

Maybe im just not into the whole madden thing. I didnt like it and now im stuck with a 89.99 dollar game(and no i will not give it to you). For the money I couldve had another copy of GTA4 and got a safety deposit box full of fun thing, not a 16 bit football game.

I personally am still in mourning of the 2K series. I just can't get into Madden like I did the 2K series. It's not as realistic. The way you choose your plays isn't accurate. The play displays is very vague and the controls don't match up. Graphically, 2K was always ahead of EA as well.

But EA is evil so what are you going to do?

if your not into the whole madden thing.... why the hell did you buy the collectors edition? lol

1: You can't be serious about 2K graphics being better than EA graphics. That's what EA is known for, is outstanding graphics. And the 2K series was known for good simulation. They don't even compare.

2: 90 bucks? Who the hell did you buy the game from?

90 is the collectors edition, comes in the big black box, looks cool, dunno what it does special though.

60 is the normal version

My brother is more of the one who plays the sports games, and he's a much bigger fan of the NCAA series. He's been displeased with Madden since 07, and even not playing the game I can see why. It just doesn't feel or look like it was as much fun as they used to be, when Madden was one of the more definitive football franchises.

The 2K games on the Dreamcast were hands-down my favorites though.

The collectors’ edition includes head coach and madden 96. And I totally agree that 2K is the better franchise, that’s why EA couldn’t let them make any more license football games. 2K5 had the better graphics, game play and was only 20 bucks!! EA is a power house that wants to buy up all the other companies so they can force you into buying what ever crap they put out.

I think EA is a pretty evil company, but it is partially the gamer's fault for continuing to pay for their crappy games. I for one cannot think of a single game/genre where EA has taken the top tier. EA's development team especially sucks; when they publish titles they occasionally turn out a good game.

manasecret · 08-15-2008, 10:34 AM

And you can't return the game? Where did you buy it from?

Perfect Stu · 08-15-2008, 11:30 AM

What do people not understand about the fact that the NFL chose to sell the exclusive rights to their brand? They wanted the money, they chose to do it, EA was able to outbid their competitor.

NHL 08 was the best 3D hockey game I've ever played.
