Madden 09 Demo Videos
by 
With the Madden 09 demo now out in DVD form, and coming next Friday to XBL and PSN, I wanted to drop some quick impressions and videos. I’ll have more over the weekend as well.
From the amount of time I’ve spent with the demo so far it is clearly from an older build than what was played at the Community Event. Apparently it is from an early April build and the one coming next week will be more recent. So not only are there visual differences (no camera flashes for example) but it doesn’t play as sharp as it did in late May. The Madden IQ doesn’t seem to be nearly as forgiving either, as I struggled just to pull in Pro ratings with the demo while at the event I had All-Pro on every one except pass defense. Still it does a decent enough job presenting the overall feel of the game outside of the absent commentary which takes a big part of the atmosphere away.
As detailed previously, this demo gives the opportunity to try out the virtual trainer and then take on the Giants in a “Madden Moment”, the late game go-ahead drive. Continue on to view a video of a virtual trainer play through and nearly ten minutes of gameplay.

and about the demo, since they know the hardcore gamers will buy any crap they put out, they are trying to cater to more casual gamers. it’s just a ploy to make more money. why else would they put madden iQ on the demo. u can only play on offense and not defense. wut EA is saying is” screw the hardcore gamers, they will buy the game any ways. lets try to suck money out of the casual gamers that don’t buy madden, lets put in rewind instead of spend our time on gameplay.”

The Pats did win 3 superbowls with troy brown as the #1 WR. but nobody like them so moving on. I’m liking the look, some of the catching animations look more realistic than last year, and i like how fluid the running animations are too. Can’t wait to get my hands on the defense though

i got disconnected 7 out of 10 games, my dynasty no longer works, scores are like in the high 60s …might as well just have the offense on the field, why even waste ur time putting the defense on there. these are my issues with ncaa 09. madden will be the same. a half ass product filled with bugs.

I dont know why people are bashing it. None of the people who bashed it so far gave a reason.

[quote comment="29931"]That was highly disappointing.
Those tests for skill level were comical. How well you pass rush vs a double team while the QB throws a slant determines your ability to defend the pass?
Throwing deep 8 times in a row determines passing skill? Wow, the biggest failure of the Madden series has always been the pencil-neck dev team not “getting” football.
The game still has terrible physics(momentum), blocking is still sticky and random, and poor representation of height over distance. Which means another year of LB’s jumping 12 feet to intercept passes they can’t even see.
The next gen Madden series has been awful, a much bigger change is needed, unfortunately they associate sales with quality. And ya, I’ll buy this game, and Madden 10 with look a lot like 09.

Yeah it kind of does. When you cover a reciever its called defending the pass. Getting TDs and trying to score does show how well you pass. Your not that smart when it comes to football.

Sorry I miss understood you about the coverage thing. Actually you cover both. You pass rush and do Coverage.

madden knows the hardcore fans will buy the game no matter what, thats why 09 is gearing towards 10 year olds. if u hardcore fans buy this year’s game, u r D*U*M*B.
