Gets Better Every Year, but Also Dissapoints Every Year

Madden 09 is a great hang out game to play with friends for the day. For a game to play day to day for weeks, it's not such a great idea. The graphics are good but sometimes the players don't respond well or do things for no reason. The deep ball also needs to be corrected so it can't be completed 2 out of every 5 passes unless you like the arcade football. I'd say try it before you buy it, but I think Madden 10 has to be amazing for me to stay on the Madden bandwagon.

I played this game

So, I've tired madden football out mostly cuz I liked 05. Well this isn't 05. This is 09. That's kinda like 05+4, but I really wouldn't call it plus because I still liked listening to Tony Bruno not know what he was talking about. Anyway, as for the game, you spend most of your time playing fottball. Makes sense, cuz this is a fottball game. If you like fottballball, you might like this game, if not you might not.
