Madden NFL 09 Preview

It would be nice if EA would instead of having this crazy rewind option, have it to where u can rewind your game and watch it in broadcast mode. Nothing like seeing yourself and others watching key plays and hits in TV style presentation. They should add that and spectator mode for online would be great. Nothing like chilling at home and watching fierce competition online in broadcast style. I hope they listening!!!!!!!

Has anyone else noticed that the font for player names on jerseys is way off this year? It was completely wrong all of last gen, and its one of the few things that was fixed in 06-08, but so far this year it looks like they broke them again. What gives? Is it really hard to make sure the text on jerseys is proportionally accurate?

That's on the list of things in Ian's thread to fix so hopefully it is fixed. It looks terrible right now I agree.

You guys need to realise that there a different teams that work on different things. For example; theres a probably gameplay team, graphics team; sound team; presentation team; aesthetic team and probably add a new gimmick team.

I can't stand hearing people say, they shouldn't have added rewind and focused more on gameplay. Well, those guys that made the Rewind feature have nothing to do with gameplay. They're job was probably to add something new so don't bash them. As for chain gangs and stuff, I heard that they were much harder to code on next gen then current gen.

Don't be so quick to jump on and say how stupid Rewind, virtual training and madden iq are. Rewind is not just a mulligan feature. You can actually
rewatch the play and see what you did wrong, see who you should have passed too and why the play broke down. You don't have to mulligan , you can just watch and learn.


And you can set how many rewinds you have. 0 3 6 9 or unlimited against the cpu or unranked games. If you think its stupid then set it to 0. Simple.

Madden's heading in the right direction. Finally.

Exactly, there are several teams for each section of the game. Does anyone know if they are fixing the faces?

Do you work for EA?? Jk, but seriously, its not that people absolutely hate the feature, its just that they feel like its not necessary and time wasted. I think everyone would rather have diff. camera angles rather than this feature. They should be spending their resources on something better.

They still dont have accelerated clock or different camera angles...wtf...thats a NO purchase for me....
