My feelings changed after they announced the potential patch 2 improvements, which include CPU sliders and toned down CPU QB acc. I went from doubtful purchase to probable. But no way in hades will I purchase Day 1. I'm still patting myself on the back for resisting the urge to quench my NFL gaming thirst last year and avoiding the abomination that was Madden 08 (great save of $60). I will wait several days after release, after hearing credible feedback from many of the old guard on these boards. The thinking is that if they say it's good and promising and fun, etc., that it can only get better after patch No. 2.

The games are always fun. That's why I buy them every year. I could be the youngest franchise junkie ever. I feel insulted when people say that rewind is for 12 year old Timmy. I'm only a couple of years older!!!

I'm an older gamer also [well beyond 27] and I'm really looking forward to the 12th.

One of the things I personally do to enjoy the Madden game the best I can, is to remember, it's a $60 video game...not a $600 simulator. You could consider that lowing my expectations through the years, but I had to...to preserve my sanity. However...I do feel my expectations headed upwards with people like Ian and Phil at the controls.

I'm a franchise nut, and I'm pretty excited about the possibility of a several seasons long franchise with Madden '09'. Something I haven't done for quite a while. I'm pretty sure I'll turn into a kid again on Tuesday morning!

Rewind feature is one of the most dumbest features worst than ice the kicker feature. Thank god you can turn them off, i mean come on if you make a mistake then you make a mistake there shouldnt be no 2nd chances. I would lmfao if they are allowed to use this feature on the madden bus. Man this feature is for kids man. they say want to attract to the hardcore fans how the hell putting such weak *** feature attractive. IF you this feature your not a baller man seriously or a hardcore fan man. This feature is for noobs man.

I still get excited about Madden (with hope that it returns to '05 glory) and love the regular football season both college and NFL! Go Wolverines, Go Raiders!!

Well said. (except for the Raiders part).

Damn straight!!

I sometimes wish we had these games when I was a kid and had so much more time and less responsibilities. .... Then I realize if that were the case I undoubtedly would have flunked out of school and been relegated to a life of flipping burgers and mopping floors.

I'll be 34 in November. Too me, its makes no sense for me to stop playing games now, just when they are starting to look and play incredible. Since Atari 2600 I've had to 'tell' people what they were watching on the screen, now you screen resolution is almost 1:1. I've played alot of crappy games, I can't sit back and watch my 10 year old son play this new madden and I don't... are you crazy? I remember JMF on genesis when the Jets weren't even represented...Now we have Brett. I must play. Power to older gamers
