Madden NFL 09 Videos: IGN

[DC]

Even though I am not a Madden fan, I can appreciate the fact that you all are coming here to get ideas. Good job from a community relations standpoint. I hope you can give these football fans the SIM football game that they have been dreaming about since 2004 released that football blockbuster (NFL 2K5)

For all the 2K5 diehards, stop the complaining, fire up your old XBOX and download the rosters in the 2K5 forum. Go play until you fall dizzy.

But stop brining up that nonsense.

It was the greatest football videogame I ever played, but it wasn't perfect. Just as you accepted 2K5's faults (and I won't mention them), either keep playing it now or accept Madden for what it will be. It's your choice and your money.

This stupid conversation takes place every year. The only reason it's so strong right now is because it SEEMS as if Madden might finally be turning the corner.

But I don't think their current goal is to re-create 2K5. Hell, the pre-beta Madden looks better than 2K5 in SOME respects.

But there's just way too much focus on "what 2K5 did". And some of the requests that I have been reading are just way too nitpicky.

most are not complaining, we are trying to give enough input and detail on what 2K5 did well so that Madden is better than 2k5, hopefully their goal is at some point to be MUCH better than 2k5. Ian himself asked for input on what we liked so much about the series

everyone knows 2K5 was not perfect. i dont think anyone ever claimed it to be.

most of them are complaining and generally leave no details what so ever. its generally "madden gang tackling will never touch 2k5". "the ball does a 180 turn before it goes into a WR hands". if it were constructive we wouldnt be saying anything about it.

im a presentation whore. pretty much if madden got 2k5' presentation im good. at this point theres not much difference in gameplay in my opinion only separation is the presentation and feel of a game. madden is boring still.

to be honest im not sold on the presentation either way. im concerned with the announcer (hammond) bing put in what seems sega genesis video game quality, and ive not seen much else besides overlays. it doesnt seem like they went with TV style delivery but im waiting to see more.
