I just got back from Radio City Music Hall, where I sat through the first and (part of the) second round of the 2009 NFL Draft. All day, EA Sports has been broadcasting its own Madden Draft live show, detailing the incoming class of Madden rookies, revealing their ratings, and showing off the first screenshots of the players in their new uniforms. As new screens show up, I'll be posting them here, so be sure to check it out as we go:

    Why should EA make the rookies have a good rating, you can't tell if their going to have a good season or not. Last year McFadden had a 85 rating, which is descent. But he only got 444yards. Adrian Peterson had a 80 rating but had a phenomenal year. So stop complaining about the starting season and wait for the rookies to prove themselves.

    is it just me or is madden's gameplay and stats becoming more like ESPN 2k5? i'm pretty sure that close chain feature and route running were from ESPN.. step it up madden we've seen these features 5 years ago!!

    You can't be serious, 68 route running for Jeremy Maclin, and the next guy drafted is a tight end who has 72 route running? /facepalm

    Darrius Heyward-Bey got screwed... He is faster than Harvin and they are both 97's... he should be a 98 speed...and his other attributes should be tweaked as well.

    Hey listin up if Ea sports allows the gamer to import their face in tiger woods why cant they allow you to do it in madden i hope that changes in madden 10 it would really bring more people to play the game and experience it in a different way it would be really good for superstar mode... comment back if you agree DHB

    i really hope ea gets off there ass and add new gameplay im getting sick of seeing the same tackles and catches and i hope you we see authenic equipment such as the facemasks all together just dominate this year let the world see the changes no more minor and little things make the game as real as possible please

    same game new year
    minor add-ons
    dont buy this game!
    EA is the most lazy game devoloper in the world other than maybe free radical
    the players look like bloated versions and the pads are way too big
    oh and they give the 2 best wide receivers in the draft 86 and 88 speed
    EA YOU SUCK!

    It's amazing. I played against Percy Harvin in when he was at Landstown High now look at him...it's always good to see all of the athletes from VA doing well.

    Steelers had the hardest schedule last year and still dominated. I see no reason why they can't repeat.

  • duke121005

    Wells ran a 4.59 and a 4.37 at his pro day. Granted he obviously doesn't run a 4.37 and its a proday but it shows the 4.59 was a little slow. Moreno ran a 4.6 at both combine and his proday.... Honestly besides the pass catching wells is much superior as a back lets be honest. And you want to talk about speed being screwed...how about Malcom Jenkins? Ran a 4.51 combine and gets an 86? Or Crabtree... ran a 4.5 on a healing broken foot come on.

    Nicks will blow everyone away who has a good or bad defence... Go Gaints. Eagles got nothing. A WR who is the same on the other side whos not great (not bad). You'll see. Your screwed when you play a real team like the G-men... All teams are screweeeeeed.

    Houston should've got a safety, or a lineman

  • skinyman26

    Posted Apr 28, 2009 5:55 pm PT

    go to youtube and they have a debut trailer of this game. the ref runs on the field and calls the fumble.. SICK

  • bptchargers

    Posted Apr 28, 2009 3:53 pm PT

  • bptchargers

    Posted Apr 28, 2009 3:38 pm PT

    i know when this game comes out its going to be awesome and im going to be the first one to get it

  • loyshon

    Posted Apr 28, 2009 10:23 am PT

    crabtree should have higher catch rating, and a few player skin tones are way off!!!!!!!!EA I have not see refs actually running on the field in any screen shots , hope that we do not have to wait til next year.

    um wii mvp 13 i believe u forgot about Eugene Monroe and Aaron Curry. They are absolute studs

  • Lil_Wii_MVP_13

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 8:22 pm PT

    Mark Sanchez, Knowshawn Moreno, Malcom Jenkins, and Micheal Crabtree will be da best this year

  • iamdanthaman

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 7:53 pm PT

    Yeah, how the hell does beanie wells have 89 speed and brown has 88 and moreno 86, there's no way he's faster than either of those two

  • parhar67

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 7:30 pm PT

    @ ravspdr

    That may be true but remember this is the big league now. You have to compare him with all the other receivers out their. He hasnt played yet and people want to give him a high rating. Compared to people like Randy Moss Marvin Harrison and Larry Fitzgearld he is nothing yet. Until he proves himself.

    EA should fix the franchise mode the franchise mood 4 05 is way better than the in madden 09

  • 417alum

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 3:59 pm PT

    Fix the numbers Maclin has already stated he is wearing 18.

  • ravspdr

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 3:12 pm PT

    crabtree is a great route runner thats ridiculous to have him at 79

  • unkosolz

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 3:06 pm PT

    I must say, Harvin on the same team with Adrian Peterson is pretty scary.

  • unkosolz

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 3:02 pm PT

    Most of this crap is bogus. Crabtree isn't that slow and Knowshon is waaaaayyyy faster than a 86.

  • blowtrees

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 1:26 pm PT

  • dixythebeast

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 1:08 pm PT

  • iLoVeThEjEtS

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 12:30 pm PT

    wow Sanchez's Deep arcurarcy got neglected

  • badman11226

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 12:25 pm PT

    WELL if i get the game im going to tweak the rating anyways because some are way too high and way too low. Its madden they suck at player ratings. Everyone should know that by now i mean come on.

  • jj346

    Posted Apr 27, 2009 12:11 pm PT
