This is great news. I don't think I have been this pumped for madden in years. If they use the remaining month plus to fine tune and implement suggestions from the community, I think EA could be back on top of the world. Think about it. NHL 08 is amazing. Live took big steps, The NASCAR demo is recieving a ton of praise, and now NCAA and MADDEN are back. WOW.

I am very excited about Madden this year(though I am every year), but this year there seems to be a different feeling surrounding it.

After our discussion earlier, I was waiting for you to come in and say something his quote on Live

[Pepenfl]

And don´t Forget soccer games. The last eight years Pro Evolution Soccer was the King and Fifa a poor (very poor) runner-up. The last PES (07 and 08) are a joke and Fifa grow... now, Euro Cup 08 finally is BETTER than PES. Most of European sports games' lovers still don´t believe at all, but is the thruth. Fifa 09 promise to be far better than PES09. Annonying.

pd. excuse my poor english.

Yea Live is pretty good when comparing it to 07, but that's like 1st getting kicked in the jewels and then getting kicked in the leg. Makes that second kick seem much better, lmao. Live 07 should've never been released to the public. Back to football tho, Madden has me pretty excited this year .

I don't ever remember being this pumped for a Madden game. Nobody can HONESTLY say that Madden 09 looks like Madden 08 after seeing the graphics and lighting in this very short video.
