Madden NFL 09 is due for release next Tuesday and it seems like there are more opinions on whether to be excited for the game or not around OS these days. Wil McCombs checks in today with his own thoughts on whether you should be excited for Madden or not in his article, Madden NFL 09: Ups and Downs.

Are you all pressed up against the windows, your breath fogging up the glass, your eyes all sad and puppy dog-like, whimpering for the clock to strike 12 on August 12th? Has the EA Sports marketing hype machine injected that sweet addictive substance straight into your veins, making us a gaggle of itching, drooling junkies hungry for that late-summer fix?"

We are several years into the current generation now. I think EA needs to get off its butt and finish NCAA 2010 the right way next year. The fact that it still doesn't have all of the stadiums, a lot of last gen features, and so many bugs on the retail copy has really put a damper on my expectations for Madden. Maybe it will be like going to a movie I think will stink and then when it's just okay, it seems like it was actually better than it was. EA may lower our expectation by releasing a crap version of NCAA and then foloowing up with an okay version of Madden. That is caring about your customers.

Thanks for bringing up NCAA in the comments of a Madden article.

Good article.

I am an older gamer, about the same as as the writer.

With my busy schedule I understand what he means about finding time to play the games, and not being as excited.

However with me it's the exact opposite. I find myself more and more excited to get these games each year. I am not really sure why, maybe I'm addicted.
