Madden 09: Madden Mondays Week 2: Snow Day! Weather
Gamestop has updated their Madden Monday with some weather related information.
"Although some games are played in domes, football remains one of the sports in which weather can be a factor. Some of the most memorable football moments come when teams battle the elements and each other. Who can forget last year's blizzard-like Seahawks vs. Packers playoff game, or the 1967 "Ice Bowl?"

Re: Madden 09: Madden Mondays Week 2: Snow Day! Weather
And, before anyone starts to complain please realize that these are not the main features or upgrades to Madden 09. These are table scraps thrown to GameStop. I hope there won't be 100 posts about "They spend their time putting more snow on the field but not improving game play . . . oh and where are the refs". This has NOTHING to do with game play. GameStop probably begged EA to give them content to drive traffic to the site where you would order the game from them. That is all this is. It is the stuff EA felt wasn't worthy of the main release of information that is sure to come.
On another note, I think it looks 300% better than last year's weather in the game.Follow me on Twitter @cavemangamer

Re: Madden 09: Madden Mondays Week 2: Snow Day! Weather
About time they took weather seriously. I hated the weather in the in the next gen version. The ps2 and xbox version had better overall weather. I remember seeing a heavy downpour in madden 05, it was the first time i wowed at weather in a madden game. The splashes and lighting were great.
I'm glad that their giving attention to the weather now. Hopefully they'll allow this online as well. After a couple seasons or so i stop my franchise and just do online, i hated always having the nice sunny weather.Comment

Re: Madden 09: Madden Mondays Week 2: Snow Day! Weather
To give Mother Nature the respect she deserves, they've overhauled everything from Madden 08 to give you a movie-like experience. One of these overhauls is fog, and lots of it. It gives a greater sense of depth and scale and makes the stadiums seem huge. We've heard that no two snowflakes are alike, and although we haven't seen every flake in Madden 09, we can tell you the snow is more realistic than ever. You'll see deeper snow on the fields, with dramatic accumulation and realistic wear from play. Player's footsteps will leave imprints, snow will be piled on the sidelines and the yardage lines will be shoveled, just like in a real game. We probably won't see a snowplow clearing off a space for a field goal since the NFL banned their use after the infamous 1982 "Snowplow Game." But you never know.
Thank you for adding a much needed feature."You got it man. I don't watch hockey." SidVish"I thought LeBron James was just going to be another addition to help me score."

I just posted that in the first week blog thread. No game has yet to touch what NFL fever 04 did in lighting as well as weather effectsComment
