For the first full game video from Madden 09 there would be nothing more fitting than featuring Brett Favre on his new team. For the opponent I chose a division rival in the Bills as these two teams look to be competing for a wild card spot in the playoffs this year.
This game includes my favorite play executed with Madden so far. On the first play of the 4th quarter I had to retreat from the pocket. At the last second I noticed a wide open Laveranues Coles way down field. I was able to get the pass off and get the ball to him just before the defenders closed in. It seemed to me to be a classic Brett Favre type of play.
Continue on to watch the entire game as broken down into five segments.

Pasta,
What are your impressions of online play, the only way to play Madden…haha! How long do you have to choose a defensive play, tell me its longer then 08.
Good work and great info…Thanks

I like how there were two types of kick return (one guy back or two guy back). The gameplay looked good, but I was disappointed in Favre’s performance. lol. That was nice, though.

Hey pasta is it at all possible to play a non online franchise or at least tell me if they fixed the glitches that made last years franchise unplayable.

lol i luv how madden just pops in with some commentary at halftime and at the end of the game… maybe next year there will be a “amazing new feature” that has madden commentary throughout the whole game

That makes me really happy because I specifically asked for it at the event and after and they got it in the game. I’ve had to point out to a couple people that it is even there since it doesn’t really stand out as being a different return play. This is a big thing since teams in real life sit a single guy back, especially someone like Devin Hester. Last year you could avoid kicking to him by directing it to the opposite side, now you can’t do that.

How about you pick 2 good teams next time. No offense but the Bills suck. The Bills and Dolphins will battle it out for last place in the AFC East lol. I like how the game seemed pretty realistic because it was a close low scoring game, these teams are not exactly power houses.

How can you say the bills suck. The bills will probably be in the playoffs this year. Jets probably will be 3rd. Man your pretty dumb.

Might I add least the Bills got to 4 straight superbowls honestly. The Pats will always have an “*” next to their wins.

Pasta. 6 quick questions. 1-4, does Trent Edwards, Kiwika Mitchell, James Hardy, and Paul Posluszny actually look like there real life counterparts. 5, does Mitchell have long hair. 6, does Trent Edwards have a different and more Quick throwing motion than Romo.

lol everyone chill I simply stated my opinion that I don’t think the teams are very good. Jeez… I thought it was cool that in the game it was close and low scoring because in my opinion the teams are not that good. At the end of the season I don’t think that either of these teams will be in the playoffs. Chill its pretty funny that on these internet comment boards people get so mad lol. Chill.. no need for the anger and unkind words. I did type in no offense…

YES!!!!! GREAT WORK PASTA!!! This is so underated. Hester gets a return every time, the way it should be.

I hate when people bash the Bills. Everyone does it and we are a good team. The only reason we get bashed is because we are a buffalo team. If we were Tampa or Miami, we would be shown all over. Buffalo had arguably the best FA/Draft in the NFL. Every position we needed we got, then some. We should go 11-5 since we have a great Schedule. The hardest team is SD for got sakes.

the bills do not suck and im a die hard jet fan they have been getting better by the years and have always been under the radar they mat not be a new england type team but i think there gonna play hard this year and do what ever it takes to win
August 8, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Man…for some reason I’m really not liking the commentating…..I really hope its not that bad….It sounds so lame and the dump pass to jones was like oh the reciever loves when its man to man….???
August 8, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Please tell me that they have both home and away classic jerseys….If not that would be a rip….

Terrible Announcing.,…..
August 8, 2008 at 8:08 pm
pretty big diff this year how the defense closes on the ball while its in the air. Seems lke you have a fair chance to complete something deep like that favre pass in the f4th qtr. no way that would be complete in last years madden.

commentating sucks and a horrible booth review but nice lookin game
