After the last couple years being slightly disappointing to me. This years Madden has really brought back the excitement for me. I love the new Madden Test, it really helps make the game a fun nfl experience for me. I strongly reconmend people who like past Maddens but gave up on 07 and 08 to grab 09.

Must be played in High Definition mode to enjoy the full capabilities of this game. I particularly like the Madden IQ test and the virtual training features. The Superstar mode isn't something I would care to play initially but after mastering the game in the franchise mode I think I will attempt the Superstar mode. There are game freezing issues that has to be resolved with a download from EA sports but overall this is a must buy. Go Falcons!!
Best football game yet. August 18, 2008

This game is pretty amazing so far. I've only played about half of a season on franchise mode, so I haven't messed with everything in the game yet.
The graphics are very impressive and they've added some great new player animations especially stuff players do immediately after the play.
The new adaptive difficulty level is interesting. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but I definately do, and it's updated after every game as you improve. I also enjoy the rewind feature, which gives you a mulligan on any play of your choosing, but be careful you can only do it once per play (you can pick how many per game or disable it), and I've had the play go worse the second time around.
I could not figure out how to load 2 profiles to play game against someone else with their profile active and mine.
No more player intros in the pregame, the players all come out of the tunnel together. I liked the intros, but I could see how some wouldn't.
Thoroughly impressed! August 18, 2008

This game is thoroughly amazing! Everything from the graphics and sound to the gameplay is vastly improved over last year! The addition of smart difficulty levels where you go through training process and the game adjusts itself your ability is very nice as well.
The audio commentary is 10,000 times better than it was last year. I have to admit I had almost given up on the Madden franchise and wasn't going to purchase this game but I'm glad I did! Thanks for getting it right Electronic Arts
