They should change the title to Glitchball 2009 instead of Madden 2009. If they cant even put a referee in
a game thats sad. Its a zebra for crying out loud.Any why players dont have towels hanging from there jersey.Like the QB towel

next gen
madden 2006, the graphics were a let down compared to the comercial. NO FRANCHISE MODE(OR ANY OTHER MODE)good sountrack.bad commentary

madden 2007, graphics better than 2006, Franchise mode sucked,cant edit player,gamplay slow, music was good,bad commentary, horrile menu interface i mean horrible it was that awful,mini camp good.

madden 2008,beter graphics,smother gameplay but horrible catching.franchise sucked, long loading times, online lame,
espn nice,but i have cable. how about adding espn in the franchise mode.drop passes,the soundtrack was the worse one
in the franchise.ozzy osborne?justin timberlink?:(

Glad to hear that the uniforms should be spot on this year. Last year, Cleveland’s uni’s were way off.

I’m fine with there not being refs on the field. My only hope is that this year the game is actually officiated.

In Madden 2008, the only calls I consistently saw were false start and encroachment. I hope to see facemasks, more authentic pass interference, more holding, ineligible receiver downfield, etc.

[quote comment="18217"]well, since madden won’t have onfeild refs or chain gangs, looks like ncaa wont have any either. Phil says it is a framerate problem. You are full of bs my friend. That is just lazy. if you can have all of these fancy weather effects and lighting, then you can have refs. That should be more important.[/quote]

[quote comment="18288"]Agreed. There is no gameplay advantage or anything different that happens but it would be “cool” to have that little bit of realism re-introduced. Like the chain gang measuring a first down. Not needed, but if you saw it, you would be somewhat impressed b/c you see it on Sundays you know? When I saw refs in APF2k I forgot how much “bells and whistles” still matter. Pre-game presentation, etc.etc. Dev’s put alot of time into these games and I’m sure their jobs require them to put in more important game-selling features, but I look for the “cool-I’m glad they added that” feature….IF IT’S IN THE GAME—>IT’S IN THE GAME!

Pasta please tell me which 2 new titles EA is rumored to be starting! MMA? Lacrosse??? Softball???[/quote]

Oh I’m in agreement with everything you said.

MMA apparently yes. The second new IP I haven’t heard anything on yet.

[quote comment="18271"]EA dropped the ball w/ adding a referee in Fight Night too. But it’s funny when you knock a guy down, outta nowhere, some ref jumps into the ring with a ten count!

NHL08- referees in game
FIFA – referees in game
APF2k- referees in game
MLB2k8- umps in game
NBA2k8- refs in game
Madden- too dificult to add refs…[/quote]

Ironically though Madden and Fight Night are EA’s two best selling franchises. So refs, while clearly some people want them, are not seen as an important issue. Again thats not to say they shouldn’t take the time to put them in but its obvious that it isn’t a priority on their end and their omission isn’t hurting sales.
