Madden 09: Madden Mondays, Brought to You by GameStop

[djordan]

GameStop has posted their weekly Madden Monday.

Quote:

"If you're a Madden fan, passing the time from now until the August 12 release of Madden NFL 09 can be like watching the movement of the minute hand on a clock. Sure, you can watch the NBA or NHL playoffs, but it's just not the same, is it? And baseball? You'd probably prefer the clock-hand thing. We're here to make it easier for you over the next several weeks because we're beginning a new weekly segment called "Madden Mondays." Exclusively here at the GameStop blog, we'll reveal a different feature for Madden NFL 09 every Monday that nobody else knows about. These are not necessarily THE new features of Madden NFL 09, but they are nonetheless interesting features that the good folks at EA Sports will reveal to us before they give them to anyone else. While they are keeping many of the core features under wraps until later, you can rest assured that they are working to make Madden NFL 09 the most realistic experience ever, and they would never just add purple horseshoes to their cereal and call it a day."

Player models looking very nice so far

If that player happens to be known for his elaborate celebrations, then he'll perform some of those that you've seen him do in real life. For example, a player like Terrell Owens has more than 10 of his familiar celebrations available.

Great, so now cyber TO can be just as annoying as the real world version.


Seriously, from the screenshot it looks like the fields and player models are getting the same makeover as NCAA.

I hope they allow for players who are known for not celebrating to simply toss the ball to the Ref (if we actually get to have Refs on the field)

Im SOOO glad they got celebrations taken care of. That was my only gripe with last years game...

Isn't that the truth? At least we can count on a new tidbit of information on a weekly basis with this Madden Monday thing.

This sounds pretty cool. I would love to do the randy moss super man celebration playing against the pats. I got a huge kick when Cromartie did it against the Pats in the AFC Championship game

I hope they tie this feature in with the custom stadium music/soundtrack feature I believe they are implementing.

I would LOVE to hear hail to the Redskins every time my team scores. i haven't been able to do this since NFL 2K5...
