Positives of getting madden 09- Chad Johnson & its pretty challenging with the iq thing , also alot more other features.

Negatives of getting the game- Glitches & too many drop passes

Should one person justify whether or not i should fork over 60 dollars :P

the demo turned me off too. It has to be an AAA title with trophies and costume soundtracks for me to get it.

I have never bought a Madden game before and I played 09 demo. It looked really good. So, I think I am going to get it. Someone mentioned about too many drop passes. I thought it was just me as I am new to NFL video games.

I am getting this game day one .. the demo is fun as hell ..

I don't see any glaring issues with it .. everyone talks about dropped passes? I've dropped like 15 catches in like 50 games .. that's pretty good .. and some are just over thrown. So that doesn't bother me ..

I'm really looking forward to August 12th ..

What where you can take it home and test it? Or just in the store ..

Because really you need a couple days to really give yourself the feel of the game.

The price is good for 5 days .. but yea renting is a rip-off but also a good way not to waste 70 bucks on a game you don't want .. 11 dollars is much better than 70.

I don't have that problem because my friends brother works at Blockbuster so I get all my rents for free ..

i am buying my collectors edtion of 09 the second those gates open in the morning. the collectors edtion comes with the new head coach and some old maddens. idk how head coach will be other than it looks great for football fans. madden 09 looks great, i havent played the demo but ive heard about and seen screen shots. you cant go by if a game is going to be good by 1:35. and i had more dropped passes anyway when i was under the wire for time, but yet, thats just me. ive bought madden every year since madden 03, im not going to miss one. and for people that want to try before they buy, if blockbuster is a rip off, buy it used when one comes in. you got 7days to decide if you like it or not. if you dont like it, you can bring it back and get what you paid for it no questions asked (used). just tell em you dont like it. thats just my 2cents.

Even though I hated the demo, I'm still picking it up. I skipped on last year cause it sucked (not just the framerate), but this year's version looks good. Plus they got rid of that stupid a** radio announcer:D

No, during regular games. I hated that announcer with a passion. I'd listen to Madden's nonsence any day compared to that guy. He was so annoying:evil:

Some gamers don't play games to play games .. just to show off their pointless trophies and achievments ..

Yes finally when it rains your jerseys get extremely muddy .. only problem is both teams get so dirty it's hard sometimes to tell who your own team is .. and also they got the dirty jerseys and crap right but only thing that is wrong with it is they didn't do anything to the field .. so you're muddy but theres no mud on the field to be found.

But least our jerseys get dirty ..

Not sure if you would want to do that.Madden 08 from the looks of it was terrible on the PS3.I think alot of people would have rather played the PS2 version over the PS3 version.
Not when i can buy 08 which is the same game for about $50 cheeper.Xjner

haha Little over exageration but around 9 turnovers a game. I played Safety in the game mainly so maybe thats part of it but i'd get at least 7 interceptions a game and around 10 sacks a game if i played on the defensive line.

I only play as the MLB .. and usually get roughly 17 tackles, a forced fumble and an INT with him per game. The rest of my team does what they have to.
