Madden NFL 09 Preview

Has anyone heard how the online play will be this year? Is it going to be an absolute lagfest again or have they improved it?

they improved it a whole lot. theres a blog on EA sports website that talks about the improvements they made on this years version of online play. this was one of the areas that they touched up on the most.

Does any one know if they have expanded the co-op, last year you could only play two a side.

No acc clock or defensive assignments. What in the world is up with these guys? This game had better be LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than 08 other wise it will be returned.

Didn't know about the accelerated clock till I came in here, what a pathetic damn thing.

This is what I mean, they take THINGS OUT. You are suppose to ADD thing and keep them IN, not take them OUT and put them back IN AGAIN.

You need to do a little more reading before you start getting yourself all worked up. Accelerated clock is being worked on for the patch.

true but things in the economy and such are going to get better in the next couple of years by this time next year gas will run about 300-350 and food prices will come down

hey, it's better than 450 or 5 lol

For the life of me, I cant figure out why they cannot do with their commentary what they do with NBA Live.

Sit the announcers down in front of a game, and have them CALL the game as if they were doing a telecast.

NBA Live has the best in game commentary of any sports game Ive ever played. Why it isnt copied to other sports games puzzles me.

Does anyone know if they are going to have the EA locker like NCAA will?
