Madden 09 - Reviewed

Ok, I have been a fan of madden since Madden was created, I damn near have every single game.

Madden 09, is alright, it ain't great, and in my honest opinion, is NOT worth the $60+ for it. It is the same game as the last few with a couple of new things. IQ Test thing is a joke, neat little addition, but a joke nonetheless. And of course the league system, which could have been done way better. Is it just me, or does it seem like every year when you buy the new Madden game, you're just paying for roster updates? The game play seems to be the same, and unless I am mistaken, I cannot figure out how to do that cool little highlight thing as the QB - did they take that off?

Online play: For me, I have found Online play so un-playable (it even lags like hell when you're SCROLLING THROUGH THE PLAYBOOK), that I just play franchise or the computer for fun, but it gets boring. Oh and What the *BLEEP* did they do with the cool newspaper feature they had for franchise mode?! That was like my favorite thing...so now I am just pissed, and honestly, wish I never bought this trash.

EA Sports, you guys are going to lose die-hard Madden fans if this doesn't improve in the next series.

Ah that felt good to get off my chest, take care all!
