Thanks. Remember though (my little disclaimer...lol) that these are very quick things I noticed early on. I'm sure there are more little things both good and bad if you spend more time with it. For example, one thing I forgot to add is about tackling. It seems guys "clean up better than 08 and there are a lot less rediculous hits. You still see a few, however (and the one were you seem to just fall flat down like in cartoons upon impact is still in, though it appears not nearly as frequent)

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

I'd like to point out something. Yes the game does end when you score a TD but if you want to get the feel for the tackling, instead of scoring the TD kick a fieldgoal. This will then alow you to kick off to the Pats and you can see how the kick coverage works, and make a tackle. Once the play is over the game ends. This worked with the DVD demo so I'm guessing it will with this one also.

Also with 1:40 on the clock and 3 time outs you have much more then one play. I played the DVD demo non stop for 2 hours so don't be worried that the demo is short, you can keep playing over and over to try different formations and plays.

I'm at 55% now with the newer demo, if I notice any differences I'll post them.

Sorry I was incorrect, this demo only gives you one time out. The DVD demo gave you 3.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

Ok very quick impression cuz I need some sleep! LOL. The gameplay feels very good. I completed one deep pass where my receiver had a step on the CB. Seemed very realistic. The running game feels pretty good and responsive. The o line seems to block pretty well. Not like NCAA 09, but realistic blocking. I did have to scramble and pass on the run and my pass was a bit off and incomplete. The graphics are awesome. Very crisp and detailed. I just hope there is some field degradation cuz that adds to the realism. The only negative that stood out right away was the sound. I thought it was awful. Like they put no effort into it. The crowd noise especially is garbage and very generic. Oh and that IQ thing was stupid. I most likely won't be using that feature.

Re: Madden 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here

Finished taking the Madden IQ.

Rush Offense: All-Madden
Pass Offense: All-Pro
Rush Defense: Pro
Pass Defense: Pro

IQ:539

As for playing the Madden moment well it was ok. The pats defense was ruthless didn't give me alot of time for deap throws. I like run along the sidelines move with Jacobs trying to stay inbounds.
