Thanks Steve for asking for us. I am pumped that there is a half-time show this year. I am starting to have hope in this game.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview
Do they ever give actual reasons that things like accelerated clock are not in the game? I cant fathom a single good reason why it isnt in there..... yet they implemented a feature to be able to re-do a bad play. In any case, thank you for the preview. Did you happen to notice if create-a-player was in or not?Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview
Co-sign. It's no secret that I truly dislike EA, but there is a legitimate reason for that and I see it happening all over again...HYPE. I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm tired of EA's marketing department being more productive/successful than the Madden devs themselves, and the little sheep that take their word as gospel.I'm not getting "suckered" in either. last years game was frankly pathletic. Especially after playing NBA 2k8 and The Show. EA has the most money and makes the poorest games.
Furthermore, I am so sick and tired of EA adding STUPID pointless features, like Backtrack and the hologram training BS.
Here's an idea EA, work on your terrible gameplay, than add bells and whistles. If you dress up a turd, it's still a turd.
I'm hoping no one falls for their marketing crap this year, but I know better. W/ inflation getting out of control and the economy (in general) shooting bricks, $60 isn't going to be a drop in the bucket like it used to be...
Here's to the Show, NBA 2K8 and other sports game dev's who actually get the job done...
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (Wii)
Transformers: War For Cybertron (DS)
Guitar Hero 5 (Wii)
Band Hero (Wii)
MUA2 (PS3/XBox 360)
Hax Attacks (iPad/iPhone)

I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview
I am pretty sure they didn't have to invest much time for the Mulligan feature....However the fact that it was EA is promoting it as a new feature certainly indicates who this game is being designed for.
Although I will say that FINALLY we have a game with pregame fireworks. For years I have played video game football, as the experience has been spoiled because the opening kick off has not been preceeded with fireworks ala Atari Soccer. I am excited that '09 will usher in a new era of video game football. PREGAME FIREWORKS!!!!!!Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview
In other words, $60 is valued a little more today than it has been in years past. When you factor in inflation (rising cost of gas & food etc), it makes it a little bit tougher to part with $60 especially for a product that most people would deem unsatisfactory.Comment

I understand what you meant, but to me $60 is $60, but oh well.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

What I want is a mulligan feature if I buy this game and it sucks. Can I take my 60 bucks and repurchase and get a good game? That's gotta be one of the craziest things I've ever heard.Comment

Haha....didn't Madden 08 have pregame fireworks?Although I will say that FINALLY we have a game with pregame fireworks. For years I have played video game football, as the experience has been spoiled because the opening kick off has not been preceeded with fireworks ala Atari Soccer.

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview
Actually, if there are no in game saves, the mulligan feature might keep me from throwing my controller into my TV screen when the CPU miraculously makes some play in the 4th quarter.Comment
