Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

After reading through the pages of this thread the only thing that is clear is that a demo means nothing for the most part. I've mostly enjoyed the little demo and am looking forward to my rental, but it hasn't swayed my opinion one way or another. I was on the fence, and I'm still on the fence (though admittedly on the more positive side of the fence, I guess). Let's face it...those who went in looking for crap, got crap. Those who went in looking for good, got good. funny how that works, huh...lol

Re: **Official Madden 09 Demo Impressions Thread (360/PS3)**

Here's mines...

I took the IQ test and got all-pro in everything. Personally I don't really like the IQ test. It's too long imo. It would be better if they just gave you the option to have your IQ tested in an pro difficulty exhibition game and determine it from that. Now on to the game. As soon as the game started I noticed how much the graphics improved. They look great. In terms of gameplay the game plays smoother then 08 but I couldn't really get that much of a feel for it since they only let you play offense and also because of the limited time. Anyways this isn't a good representation of the final game due to a lot of missing features that will be in the final game and also the lack of time you actually get to play it. Chances are they want Madden IQ to be the biggest feature out the list since they gave us a full demo of that but they should of in turn also gave us a regular 2 min per quarter demo of a normal game. Overall this demo is disappointing not in terms of how the game is going to be but in terms of comparing this to the amount of game time you get in other demos. So I can see why this is getting a lot of hate. But the 2k fans / madden haters are thinking that the hate is coming in terms of mostly how the final game will be which is causing others to think the same. So in conclusion this will give bad publicity for madden 09 until other reviews for the game come out and also until the actual final game comes out in less than two weeks.

Also another thing, I was disappointed that they got rid of QB vision. While most people didn't like it I personally liked playing with it and got use to it. But it's no big deal really.

I also chose to kick a field goal (though it basically automatically fails you for the madden moment) just to see how it looks when they put the net up. The angle is pretty neat...

Me, I'm just pissed that the Xbox 360 owners got to play the demo before us PS3 owners. Damn you EA.

Its way too easy just for Plax to out run the db for the deep ball. Though it doesn't seem like the same use a tall wr and he jumps over everyone deep ball everytime.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

HUH??

What? Play the demo send Plax deep and most times he will out run the db covering him for any easy catch.

In 08 the best deep balls were thrown by doing bullet jump passes to tall wr's.

So its nice to see wr's out running db's but on that difficulty level its too easy to complete bombs.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

Im enjoying the demo. Did the IQ test and got All Madden on everything but pass defense, was harder than i thought! Im enjoying the demo, even if i have to play as Eli. Ive seen a few dropped passes, but nothing alarming. Ive had somewhat of a tough time with passing, but not ridiculous. I do like how you have to set up to throw on the run, although i have made 3-4 throws on the run with laser like accuracy.

Running game feels good. Tried Bradshaw and Jacobs and both felt different........so far so good......

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

The demo is nothing to jump up and down about, but the IQ test is pretty fun...I could see the changes more in that mode then the Madden Moment.....But I need to step my game up....Pro, All Madden, Pro, Rookie....WOW....I'm in trouble

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

The Madden IQ was actually difficult on rushing defense. I ended up with a rookie level and I've been playing this game for years, haha. Couldn't get a real feel for the game though through just two minutes of Madden Moment, but the passing game seemed harder, with throws being overthrown or not caught. I got All-Madden on the IQ however but good to see. The graphics look awesome, just wish I could get some more minutes in the gameplay.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

I can only seem to do the run IQ test. No matter how many times i score... what am I doing wrong?
