Madden NFL 09: First Online Leagues Details and Video Clip

[2K Football Deity]

Madden again will be just straight arcade trash. I can't believe people by that crap and believe its a football sim. Madden is a kids game while 2K is for adult sim gamers.

Again, if it was 2k that was taking the criticism, the roles would be reversed.

People are always going to compare products to the best product in that genre. Any Sandbox style game like Saint's Row is immediately compared to Grand Theft Auto. When Madden becomes better than 2K5, people will stop making the comparision.

Nevermind, you are completely missing my point.

So what you are telling me is that 2k was perfect??

Like i said, until a NFL game can be better then 2k5, its just always going to happen unless Operation Sports starts banning 50 percent of the football fans on this board and that probably wont happen.

All that is a matter of opinion, because I think that Madden has gotten better.

Didn't really have anywhere to go but up the last couple years.

Anywho - snow looks good. Everything else, well, looks the same as before. Animations are bleh after all this time. Does look slower which is a plus - NCAA looked like it was on speed. Least there weren't any tunrovers. That's a huge plus in 2 mins of play.

yeh maybe the fixed the fumble bug wich EA claimed wasn't a problem/bug...without a doubt, if that was last years madden, there WOULD have been a fumble on that drive. Good catch.
