Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

hey guys, while I was playing the demo I experienced a glitch. I threw a 40 yard bomb to Burress and when he caught the pass near the back of the endzone and it looked like one of those plays that the cpu would challenge. To me it looked like one foot was in and another was out. It allowed me to go for a two point conversion and be able to kick the ball off. I put the game on pause and decided to take some pictures of the score and the players before the kick off. I've been a lurker here for a while and I'm not a troll. Sorry if someone else already discovered this.

I am guessing the game doesn't have play challenges available in the demo? I am not so sure its a glitch that your experienced or the fact that the game either doesn't have challenges available or the Pats didn't feel the need to challenge.

Playstation Blog has been updated (and the demo is confirmed for release today), but the store hasn't updated quite yet. Soon though, I'm sure.

It would be cool if somehow you can force the game into an overtime with that glitch.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

alright im uploading the video of the kickoff. I thought I would be able to play defense, but once I tackled the returner it said that I failed the madden moment challenge even though I had the lead. Go figure.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

Not sure where these ball dropping complaints are coming from. I've quick re-played the demo around 20 times so far, and the only drops from my guys (when no one is around them) came from bad passes from me, or the recievers having an awkward catch animation, which is realistic to me, as guys can drop easy passes quite a bit in real life. I'd also think this is a bit of a way to get some good realistic game stats, and maybe that's what the Madden team was going for. Anyway, probably only 6 drops like that total from the hour or so I've been messing with the demo.

Then again, my IQ training has constantly rated my passing in All-Pro, so maybe that'd have something to do with it.

I guess Microsoft pushed the 360 demo out first. I thought I had to wait till tommorow and it ends up coming out before the PSN demo.

There where a ton of drops for me as well though I skipped the IQ test. :wink:

Is there a particular reason Manningham and Mayo two of this year's rookies are playing in the Superbowl. Can we at least can the so called "Madden Moments" right. Great graphics with enhanced NCAA 09 gameplay.

Alright here is the video. Sorry for the crap quality, but you can see that it said I failed, but in the other pictures I posted I had the lead.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

Every year people go nuts about the new Madden and every year people complain and analyze a demo beyond belief... a demo. A build which is probably months old.

This is a impressions thread, not a another year of 2K football thread.

Those that troll, will receive infractions. Talking about bugs is one thing, but trolling is another.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

WOW

First game I thought the game was INCREDIBLE. I will say the graphics are top notch. After about 5 games though it felt so much like the same game. Maybe because i hadn't played 08 in a long time. I can see how the developers are trying to get rid of cheese tactics but they are still possible, just harder. The icons disappearing on drop backs and the long ball throwing animation takes time. Nice touches. I do applaud them for their efforts. But when u really get down to it its the same gameplay. Eli Manning is way too fast also..LOL

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

I'm not happy with the demo itself, but I understand the reason that EA went this route. I would have rather had just a practice mode with 1 team instead of the 1 minute of gameplay that is offered.

The graphics look fantastic and it certainly feels more polished than the failure of NCAA 2009. Pass rush felt realistic although it still seems a little too easy to complete passes, might be because of the difficulty the demo is set at.

I really don't like the way to select plays. I prefer what NCAA has this year where the plays are represented by multiple buttons, it makes it easier to disguise your play calling. Other than that there really isn't a lot of content to grade on this demo, which worries me a bit. I'll wait a little while after release to decide after I bit the bait on the broken NCAA 2009 game.
