Like a dumb supermodel.......:

I own the PS2 and the Xbox360 versions of Madden 2009. The XBox360 version is beautiful, yet unplayable. The game engine is sooo poor. Recievers regularly running out of bounds. Zero run blocking, not poor blocking, zero blocking. The blocking intelligence does not work in this game. Way too often an offensive lineman runs around people instead of blocking them. QB accuracy is a joke. Perfect accuracy too often and then can't hit the broad side of a barn when the game is on the line. Horrible. Beautiful... more info

control and bug problems:

Like most people I found the game to repeatedly freeze up on me at random times. Sometimes I would go entire games without freezing, and sometimes it would take only a few minutes.
Other then the obvious functionality issues. The player movement seems somewhat worse then usual. It feels as though your player is floating around instead of actually running.
The best aspect of the game is definitely the rosters. It seems they finally got most of the rosters correct, most times the game is released to... more info

Too many flaws:

As a life long Madden fan, I was really disappointed with this game. As one person stated earlier, the deep passing game is next to impossible. It went from way too easy in previous Madden titles to rediculously hard. I've played a few dozen games and have still never completed a deep fly route. In contrast the run defense is way too easy. I don't think an opposing back has ever carried the ball beyond 3 yards on my defense.
Also, the player progression in the franchise mode is terrible. The only way... more info

Good, but no ESPN 2k5:

Madden 09 is decent gameplay. Some have had Freezing issues, but I guess I am one of the fortunates. I enjoy the franchise mode, but aspects are just repeated or could be tossed altogether. Good, but not stunning. Really 3.5 but was nice and rounded to 4.
