Madden NFL 09 Preview

LOL @ Backtracks


Wow, why the hell can't they add accelerated clock? WTF???

[maddenps2]

Please add more camera angles, the one's that were in next-gen would be fine!

I don't have a problem with the rewind feature since you DON'T have to use it and it CAN'T be used online. Nice to see cpu vs cpu in NCAA 09 and Madden 09.

I agree, especially since we now have online leagues.

It would be great to watch other games in your league that you're not in, like the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Can I please have back the accelerated clock? (mdgoalie37, thousands of others) The jury is still out on this one for 09. We are working hard on it, but unfortunately I can't say for sure. Since itt's not my department I really give you a solid answer...sorry.

I'm hoping for this

To me it seems that the whole Rewind feature came out of adding the Backtrack feature. I really like having Collinsworth breakdown your play and show you what you did wrong, and it adds to the presentation a lot.

And I can just imagine the board room of EA where someone said, hey if we're going to do this why don't we add a feature that lets them replay the down. It'll be like a mulligan.

The hate for this mode is almost laughable.

Agreed that it's kinda silly, but it may be useful if there is some kind of goofy glitch. Obviously I hope not.

Honestly, I could have seen myself use it last year during a turnover fest.
