Madden NFL 09

Can u believe 2009 is the 20th Anniversary of Madden?! What other game can toot THAT horn?! It's a "must have" 4 all Madden fans, 2 add 2 their collection.

I've played all of the Madden games (except PS3 versions). The 2009 PS2 version is the best game play ever. The graphics are sub-par compared 2 the xbox360 but the xbox360 version has horrible game play. I went back 2 the PS2 version because it is fun football. It has issues with resolution & slow frame rates, but the game play flaws of the 360 are far more damaging 2 the game. I play the franchise mode with 3 other people. This year we stepped up 2 the 360. One month later, we stepped back 2 the PS2. The PS2 version of Madden has superior game play. The xbox 360 version has superior graphics.
For those of you who comment in the madden forums, be sure 2 specify which game you have. The PS2 version is totaly different from the xbox360 version. I can't speak 4 the PS3 or xbox versions.

game is awesome..could use a few things like end zone celebrations they could be more fan oriented..

This game was 4 my husband & he loves it. I've loved the Madden games from the start & they just keep getting better & better!

if you cant see that its the same damn game as 08, even 07 then you must be blind. same horrible graphics, same commentary, same lame gameplay. do yourselves all a favor & upgrade 2 a next gen console.
