Madden NFL 09 E3 2008 Stage Show Demo Video (Gamespot)

[Exonerated]

Weather is only for unranked.

Not a bad interview. The guy playin sucked though. Couldn't stay in the pocket.

Game looks magnificent thats for sure.

It looks great.

But did anyone pick up on how when it's in Backtrack the colors look more lifelike, and when it goes back to the actual game it looks duller? That's really weird. I also notice a greater brightness in the PIP window than in the actual live game.

They might wanna consider some kind of customizeable video settings options so users can set the look to their liking. A lot of games have those now.

Big positive I'm seeing... QBs rolling out, throwing it out there blindly... and they're getting picked off like crazy

Saw the disappearing icons too.

Phil, I know you frequent these boards, and I have one criticism of this interview. When asked of the release date, you mentioned the game is coming to "every platform known to man!". It would be nice if that was true, but it's not true. Madden PC was cancelled, remember? (I believe you're well aware given the Football-Freaks stuff).

Just annoys me a little. Particularly as you were just talking about Spore in the interview - a PC/Mac exclusive game. Given that fact, someone less informed may have the impression Madden 09 is coming to PC this year. It's small I know but it's a little disappointing the cancelling of a platform which *built* the series to what it is today doesn't even stop EA pretending the game is being released on "every platform known to man".

Oh, and how's your N-Gage version coming along?

"Known to man".. as in "The Man"... not the general "Humanity".

We all know "The Man" is EA Sports Personified. And if he doesn't chose to acknowledge a platform, then it doesn't exist.

Yea I caught that too. Those Gamespot guys who cover the sports games are really bad, I listened to a couple of their podcasts and its amazing how clueless they are about most of whats going on in the sports video gaming world.
