Madden 09 Interview: GameTap

It's only fitting that the rewind feature would be in this game. I'm surprised it didn't come sooner. Madden used to go crazy with the rewind button during telecasts. I would be like "Damn, OK Madden, I get it!!"

The more I think about it, I'm starting to love this feature. I seriously doubt it ill can used outside of practice and exhibition mode. It polishes your game IMO. How many times have you seen the open receiver, but accidentally pressed the wrong button? OR How many times you should've cut left instead of right?

You're never gonna get that same EXACT situation by starting the whole play over, but If you rewind back to the spot before you passed the ball or made your cut you can fine tune things.

"EA Sports Backtrack" sounds like it's going to be an awesome feature to have in the middle of a game you're playing. "EA Sports Rewind", not so much. Having a 'do-over' just seems dumb to me. I made a mistake, show me how I screwed up, and I'll learn for next time. No need for the rewinding.

But I can easily not use that part of it, so it's no big deal.

Wait WTF Are you talking about? rewinding the actual game or being able to rewind a fragment of the game ala replay mode? Cause if their putting in a rewind a play during the game, then that sounds pretty bad to me.

Thats part of the game in my opinion. The sport is based off decision making, good or bad.

Yeah, EA Sports Rewind is where you actually can get a do over. Thank God we don't have to use this.

My speculation was that it would just allow you to see what happened..i don't like this, at least we don't HAVE to use it.

I don't think the rewind feature is used in game. I think its just used in this new practice mode. At least that's what I got from reading the interview.
