Madden 09 Gillette Stadium Trailer: GameTrailers

[ezekiel55]

Once again I'm not impressed...Yes the lighting looks great and the stadium and grass textures have been improved but watching that video I know exactly how its going to play...Like every other Madden.

EA needs to get their head out of their a$$ and start developing or licensing a physics engine because this is absurd. The highest grossing annual game ever and this is what they give the fans...We should be blown away by this game every year considering the amount of money they've made off of us...And seriously when are they going to change blocking AI and have a pocket in this game...ugh

With the amount of money these people have made off of us (I havent bought the last two) we seriously should be as impressed with this game as a true next gen game like GTA 4.

They have the money, just not the talent and knowledge of football...Way to go Tiburon!

Player models look great. Presentation is better, but could be improved even more... add the refs, and continue to add the little things (ala The Show). Even though there are probably some new animations, in general, they are feeling very old. I also noticed no more player intros and straight to the coin toss.

It looks good but the line play is still lacking. And why can't these things ever be played by a user who understands how to execute a proper QB dropback?

Unless the sim guys around here love the game when it comes out im not interested.Traded last 2 years in within a week and Ill hold out for impressions this year.Im not interested in the same game ( actually getting worse imo ) year after year now and this could be a first Madden i dont purchase since 1989..oh well will see?

I don't know but watching those dropbacks drives me nuts. Just seeing a QB dropping back 15 yds or back peddling laterally across the field is not football.

I like the speed of this game compared to blazing fast NCAA.
