I try to rotate years between Madden and NCAA so I don't waste a bunch of money on both, and this is a Madden year. However - Mizzou sucked on last years game, and will most likely suck on 2010 as well...I might have to pick this one up.

I think I'll probably get the Madden and Head Coach pack in thingy. I liked the NCAA demo too but two football games is enough and Madden looks better this year.

unless Madden gets amazing reviews with documented notes of improvement, I will not be buying Madden for the 1st time since about 1993

I'll probably pick it up. I played the bejesus out of 2008; mostly in Campus Legend mode. I couldn't deal with the dynasty mode and all the recruiting etc. I wish they'd allow you to just play a season etc. I don't have the time i used to in order to fully enjoy the Dynasty mode.
I just wish prices of games would come down about 20%; never happen, but still. Although I'm beginning to enjoy gamestop. picked up GTA IV for $50; and had $20 in games to trade in.

Because its more or less a pick up and play game, there's not very much strategy imo. I am sure there is some, but its more of an arcade style game, then a straight sim. I hear that EA pays off certain review sites and threatens them with not getting EA company perks. I am not saying this is correct, but its totally believable.

Not sure of the regular game mode since I played mostly campus legend, but it seemed like turnovers were a huge problem. The CPU forced way to many fumbles, even when 'protecting' the ball. O line blocking was terrible; missed blocks constantly.
Oh well; I still enjoyed the heck out of it.

I can't wait for NCAA 09,getting ready to pre order my copy... Heck i am still playing 08 alot... However the same cannot be said for Madden 08. I actually went out and bought it the day it came out,played it for maybe 2 weeks and haven't played it since.... I will be sure to rent Madden 09 first before buying it.

I played the demo and hated it.
I've been playing All Pro Football for a while now and love the way that it plays. I'll be skipping Madden as well. |

Does 2k come out with a new game each year? Or can they not do that because of the licensing the NFLPA has with EA?

2k's version is focused on simulation play rather then a pick up and play game. They target hardcore football players first. They are also not allowed to use ANYTHING NFL becuase of the EA/NFL deal. I would expect their next game to be fully customizable though. As soon as i hear anything about it, best believe i will be posting about it. I talk to the 2k community manager quite a bit and always asking him about it. He said there hasnt been anything to talk about atm. So we will see. |
