2K Sports is the savior. Madden MUST give up there dumb contract wit the NFL and allow 2K to make a good NFL football sporting game. (The contract is up in 2012).

I have tried to play Madden 06-09 and I HATE how Madden plays, presentation, controls, etc etc. Its annoying to play and very frustrating when you play defense…no realism at all. I have been a fan since the 1st 2K NFL game and I am sorry….us 2K “fanboys” are fanboys for a reason, its far more superior. One of the only reason I kept and power on my PS2 is to play NFL 2K5 and the only real advantage Madden 09 has over 2K5 is updated rosters and some of the graphics. EA is garbage…I literally HATE them. They are wusses with no confidence and saw that Sega’s 2K’s series was owning Madden and used their $$$ to take out the competition. (Thats weak EA) I thought Madden 09 was going to be good and just after a day…I felt depressed I wasted $60 on CRAP!! 2K can make a better sports game hands down…at least I can enjoy NBA 2K9 which by the way make NBA Live 09 look and play like utter garbage!

I have to agree with a lot of people above when they say that 2K5 is better than any Madden game ever created, for these reasons. Madden has gradually become tailored to those people who love fast-paced, high scoring, high octane football games. On offense, running game is almost nonexistant and quarterback play is greatly increased no matter what the rating of your QB is. On defense, its impossible to get key third-and-short stops, and the only plays you will make are in the secondary, when cornerbacks seem like LeBron James and jump 10 feet in the air to snag an INT and take it to the house. Big hits are all too common, again tailored to the plethora of idiots who only want shitload of offense and exciting defensive plays. Player ratings are insignificant; you can have a god-awful receiver and quarterback, and make the tandem look like Brady to Moss. EA Rewind is just a moronic addition. AI still isn’t completely sharpened, as sometimes players will just stall and not carry out their assignments. This is especially annoying in pass-protection and on defense, specifically in the short yardage runs and deep one-on-one coverages. Virtual trainer, you kidding me? Plus, Tom Hammond is the most boring commentator ever introduced to the series. I wish they would also add some specificity to the commentary. What I mean is, I don’t want them to say “This quarterback can throw ball good :)!” Instead, say, “That was a perfect pass thrown by Peyton Manning,” or something of the sort. The extent to which they attempt to do this is maybe when you make a big play with a star player, and Cris Collinsworth will mention his name. The creators of Madden need to sit down, watch a full slate of 16 NFL games, watch how the teams play, and translate that play accordingly to the game, so it’s accurate, realistic, and still fun. Until then, bring back 2K, at least they got it right.

I have been a Madden fan for a long time. I like football SIM. The game should be challenging and stats should be close to real NFL play. This year’s Madden is a HUGE step backwards. Madden 08 was MUCH better in too many ways to mention. EA needs to get it together for next year.

I bought madden 09 last week, the first few times I played it I thought it was just me, but after a week I realize this game still sucks after all these years. I would gladly trade this game for a kick in the nutz.

Tecmo bowl was a great game!!! Thats back when games were just fun and simple.. Now its all about graphics first and gameplay second. Well Madden09 did NEITHER!!! graphically for ps3 at least… it sux! Its grainy and the collision detection needs a huge overhaul.. Competition is non existant so its the same crappy engine tweaked just like last gen. On the otherhand look what competition did to EA for hockey!!! NHL09 is probably going to be the best hockey game and possibly best game EA has ever produced!!! That’s truly a next gen title and prob gets half the manpower Madden gets… hmmm wonder if its cuz we keep buying it because there’s nothing else out there!!! Not that i liked nfl 2k but, at least it gave EA motivation…

Worst madden ever one of the things i used to have problem w/ was the players on the sideline no names they all do the same motions over and over again i was thinking this year, 2009 ON PS3 w/ everybody raving about graphics that maybe that would be diffrent. Nope even worse now theres no chain gang, fans look horrible, they look like real bad virtual fighter characters and why cant u run the damn ball i play w/ san diego, every time i run the holes just close up u cant break a tackle cant run to the outside i line up w/ 3 or 4 wideouts to run the ball and the def is in 3-4 audible to a pass play and bam now their covering my reicevers the worst football game ever and i played em all im going back to tecmo bowl

Did they finish this game in may and just release it now.Why is shockey with the giants and strahan is not retired?
I even caught a mistake on some of the facts they post while game is loading.At least they fixed the stats a little,we don’t have 7 running backs with 2100 yards.This game sucks..madden 99 was better
