        Definitely.

        That way if I'm not hearing good things I can go to Gamestop the night before release and cancel my pre-order, just as I did with NCAA.

          NCAA is fine, and the roster bug is being patched right now. I'll hate to see the chaos if Madden has a bug, which could very well happen.
          I cannot believ I just read this. Don't get me wrong I do not hate the game I play it, but when you have to spend hours messing with sliders, that don't work, hold back during game play to keep it some what realistic (special teams), and hope your dynasty doesnt crash, its a little rediculous. 3 years these games have been on next gen and most of the features that made them good on ps2 and xbox are left out of the game. It is like some people have come to expect a $60 peice of crap and are starting to like it. Well I am from the old school and I will never accept these dumbed down games.

              Aren't most "old school" games pretty much dumbed down?

              lol...sorry, that comment just tickled me for some reason. I personally can't take the majority of the comments in threads like these too seriously. Anyone who has such a dramatic reaction to something they haven't experienced for themselves yet is obviously not going to view the game from a balanced or reasonable perspective...and I'm not speaking of just the negative reactions I think the game looks much improved and will definitely check it out...courtesy of blockbuster. If it's not, I'll move on...bigger things in life, IMO.

                I don't think there's a chance in hell that Madden tops NCAA. I haven't been content with a Madden game since the one where Vick was the coverboy. '04 or '05, I can't remember.

                  So no one is allowed to buy or like Madden.
                  Yes I do own a PS3 and a 360. and yes my 360 get the most burn from me.

                    I'll buy Madden 09 this year, therefore I am a pawn of Ea and have an iq of 12.

                    I am enjoyin ncaa which is frowned upon by the vocal minority of this community.

                      ...I agree though. It's like Spank always says: people often lower their expectations to meet whatever Madden is going to be that year.

                      Let me say that there's nothing wrong w/ liking Madden in its current state. But it's mind boggling that gamers within this sim community can still look the other way in spite of the continued absence of the fundamental aspects of football in Madden.

                        Looking at your amount of posts, I highly doubt this .

                          Re: Why Madden Will Be Better Than NCAA

                          I find it funny reading some of the posts in the ncaa section about how they hate ncaa and go into detail about the glitches and bugs, then at the end of their post they say "at least I have Madden to look forward to"

                          Now if Madden was made by 2k or a different company then I would agree that it would be something to look forward to.

                          However because it's also an ea game with much the same history as ncaa concerning bugs and glitches then using that history and this years ncaa means Madden will have a very good chance of failing to deliver.

                          The only question is what is going to be the letdown, the new adaptive ai that lets the cpu run better when you are shutting them down is what I would bet on. It sounds good in theory but again using ea's history this is exactly the feature that will be over the top (but be better next year).

                              What I do not understand, is how anyone can feel confident that the 2 major features that are coming to Madden this year: Dynamic AI, and Online Leagues are going to be implemented any more smoothly then the "wide open gameplay" and online dynasty aspects of NCAA 09?

                              The game comes out in 3 weeks, and has probably been finished for about a month.

                              What we are going to be seeing/hearing in previews, is going to be what we are getting.

                              I hope it works. Will it? I have absolutely no idea, and there is no reason for me to be optimistic until the game arrives.

                              I'm going to be skeptical until the product gives me reason not to be, due to its track record.

                                Really? Better than 08 by 50 percent at what? Besides graphics and some nice new juke animations I can't agree with you on that. 08 was a solid game.
