Also agree. Been playing Madden since 89, and the "next-gen" football is really a big disappointment. CB has it right, no atmosphere, dull, lets see, is it a "first down? - lets zoom to the scoreboard to get the measurement"...WTF - wheres the chain gang, refs on field..it took them 4 years to get FG nets in the game, and an announcing "team", Madden 09 for PS3 great eye candy, or just the wrapper? Not to mention everything else missing from the Ps3 version..
I took CB;s advice , purchased PS2 version, and I will update the other thread he has w/my findings, but heavily recommended. Totally was immersed in the game last night, refs, first down markers, Madden/Michaels, and the graphics on my Samsung LCD looked good to me. (admittedly not like PS3, but darn good!)
If its in the game, its in the PS2 version
