Madden 09 Hands-On Report: Pasta Padre

[JagerMichael]

The people that say it's the same game are simply haters that just want to say something. Anyone who does 15 minutes of searching on Madden 09 will instantly see the differences between 08 and 09.

I know 09 isn't going to be the perfect game, but if the glitches are gone and the gameplay is even better than last year I know I'll have a blast with it. It's things like glitches and the issues in franchise mode that killed 08 for me.

Live is dung so far next-gen. And it is kinda sad that the best "football" game doesn't have an N,F or L in it.......But Ian and company will catch up.

I know I've never been this excited for a Madden game.

Because of that excitement, I played a game of Madden 08 the other night. Oh, boy. It brought back a lot of sour memories of having the only NFL game be a massive disappointment. (I spent last year playing All-Pro Football 2K8.)

After watching so many encouraging Madden 09 videos, I don't think I can tolerate 08 ever again.

I know that feeling. The last few years (ever since next gen basically) I get pumped when I see the new videos and read the news on the next version, and I end up going back to last years because I just want to play an NFL game.

About 5 minutes in I start to realize why I didn't really play the game all that much.

Just dig up Pasta Padres impressions from Madden 08 and see what was said there...Seems like EA is in the pockets...like Halliburton and our politicians... 1

If you were to actually look it up, Pasta wasn't too happy with Madden 08...
