 Like a dumb supermodel....... November 3, 2008
I own the PS2 and the Xbox360 versions of Madden 2009. The XBox360 version is beautiful, yet unplayable. The game engine is sooo poor. Recievers regularly running out of bounds. Zero run blocking, not poor blocking, zero blocking. The blocking intelligence does not work in this game. Way too often an offensive lineman runs around people instead of blocking them. QB accuracy is a joke. Perfect accuracy too often and then can't hit the broad side of a barn when the game is on the line. Horrible. Beautiful graphics though. Excellent animation. If the game play of the PS2 version could be combined with the display of the Xbox360 version, we'd have the best Madden ever. I love playing the PS2 version. Not at all like the 360 version. Fun Fun Fun! With poor graphics... and sometimes slow frame rates. I played the 360 version for one month and went back to the PS2 version. If you are commenting in forums about this game, understand the PS2 version is a completely different game than the Xbox 360 version.
control and bug problems October 26, 2008
Like most people I found the game to repeatedly freeze up on me at random times. Sometimes I would go entire games without freezing, and sometimes it would take only a few minutes.
Other then the obvious functionality issues. The player movement seems somewhat worse then usual. It feels as though your player is floating around instead of actually running.
The best aspect of the game is definitely the rosters. It seems they finally got most of the rosters correct, most times the game is released to early and the rosters are quite a bit off then what the team actually is fielding.
Overall it just seems like they shipped an unfinished product. Freezing up is unacceptable and far too many people have had this same problem to just blame it on a select few discs.

Too many flaws October 22, 2008
As a life long Madden fan, I was really disappointed with this game. As one person stated earlier, the deep passing game is next to impossible. It went from way too easy in previous Madden titles to rediculously hard. I've played a few dozen games and have still never completed a deep fly route. In contrast the run defense is way too easy. I don't think an opposing back has ever carried the ball beyond 3 yards on my defense.
Also, the player progression in the franchise mode is terrible. The only way to build up a player is to go through their training drills each week. That is beyond boring.
 Good, but no ESPN 2k5 October 16, 2008

Madden 09 is decent gameplay. Some have had Freezing issues, but I guess I am one of the fortunates. I enjoy the franchise mode, but aspects are just repeated or could be tossed altogether. Good, but not stunning. Really 3.5 but was nice and rounded to 4.
okay at best October 14, 2008

this is a descent game, however its kind of flawed in many ways. for starts, the new virtual trainer determines what skill you should play on, however when u play on ur skill level its ridiculously hard, either that or the virtual trainer is ridculously easy. it set my standards to all madeen and i go to play the game and get crushed and sodomized but the computer. its not fun when you can only get 15 yrds rushing and throw 10 ints on "your skill level". as usual, madden cheats like hell. if u think the comp isnt going for an onside kick as soon as you pick your play you cant change it and they kick an onside and recover it 90% of the time. this game pisses me off so bad sometimes i just wanna smash it into a thousand peices. every pick u throw is a freakin pick 6!! i guess ull just have to see for urself! 2k series def needs to get back i nthe game!
