Madden NFL 09

Madden NFL 09 - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Braindead computer AI
Intense action  
EA craps out another one

The problem with being a juggernaught not scared of competition you get subpar product because they know fans will get it regardless. When i first got the 360 i was taken back by how lame their version was with 07 compared to the ps2's. Then i got 08 and was halfway satisfied because i got my created team back. 09 doesn't make up for much. There's some add ons like the IQ which is kinda cool, and the online league but i don't use xbox live so that didn't matter much to me. The animations were kinda lame , the AI made it look like they were high..which may be realism involved ...but it still doesn't feel like i'm watching a game on tv. I would like to see tv presentation where they show the starting lineup at the start of the opening drives, a decent halftime show, an even better one at the superbowl, and a better draft. It's not worth the upgrade but if you're just getting a 360, it still brings you a decent game of pigskin. Why the 360 can't bring the same game as Sony does is beyond me. Sony's got the upper edge on this game however the graphics on the 360 seem sharper. I guess real football fans will just sigh, take their lumps and hope that next year , will bring us something worth shelling out 70 bucks to.
