    Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

    I'm big on kicking... afterall it is football. Have they toned down the power of the kicks. It's so easy to kick a touchback that goes into the OTHER fieldgoal post.

    Also, have they made it a challenge to make a 40+ kick and DIFFICULT to make a 50+ kick?
    fool me once... shame on me.

      Is random weather back in the game. Nothing greater than having the weather set to random and seeing a nice snow or rain game, RANDOMLY!

        I hope they fixed the coaching ai....and there isn't any punts from the cpu when they are on your 30

        That was just another thing that annoys the hell out of me

          LOL.

          I actually laughed out loud when I read this.

          It was kind of strange that game play fell to no better in their priorities than third place. I could understand that if EA had the game play nailed...but I doubt most people feel that way. I think most gamers would always at least feel better if they heard from EA that basic game play was always their top priority.

          This "Rewind" feature is an odd one. I can't really imagine many people using something like this. I know myself...I'd feel pretty pathetic if I did. I'm still hopeful for '09' though overall.

              Well ODogg...you've got a point there.

              One of the features I'm most interested in is the "Madden IQ". My hope is that it will truly make say All-Pro level more challenging. Or All-Madden a little more reasonable for an average player like myself.

              I like All-Madden level because I have to stay on my toes at all times, because the cpu offense can be so explosive. And for me anyway...the cpu defense is pretty tough to move the ball against. I get a feeling of satisfaction just hanging in there on All-Madden, that feeling just isn't there for me on All-Pro.

              But dang...things can sure get outta control for me on All-Madden. So I have to search for sliders that fit my skill level...which can get pretty frustrating. My hope is that the "IQ" thing will all but eliminate the need for sliders. That maybe unrealistic to hope for...but it sure would be nice.

                Thanks for the preview Steve.


                Not nearly as hyped for Madden as I am NCAA this year, as I think the 60 year online dynasty trumps anything improvement Madden has had by itself.

                  Did they fix the horrible quarterback dropback and scrambling animations?

                  Do qbs have their unique tendencies, like how they drop back, hold the ball, scramble, and throw and release?

                  Is there multiple camera angles?

                  Are there formation substitutions?

                    Hey, what's wrong with a QB dropping back 30 yards just to complete a 15 yard play?

                        I hope they worked on faces. EA's needs new artists, even starters faces weren't that great of quality for the last 3 years. Favre didn't even look like Favre and that's supposed to be this years cover boy.

                            It would be nice if EA would instead of having this crazy rewind option, have it to where u can rewind your game and watch it in broadcast mode. Nothing like seeing yourself and others watching key plays and hits in TV style presentation. They should add that and spectator mode for online would be great. Nothing like chilling at home and watching fierce competition online in broadcast style. I hope they listening!!!!!!!

                              Has anyone else noticed that the font for player names on jerseys is way off this year? It was completely wrong all of last gen, and its one of the few things that was fixed in 06-08, but so far this year it looks like they broke them again. What gives? Is it really hard to make sure the text on jerseys is proportionally accurate?

                                That's on the list of things in Ian's thread to fix so hopefully it is fixed. It looks terrible right now I agree.
