Full Game of Madden 09: Bills @ Jets

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.

Hammond sounds pretty bland but Collinsworth is SPOT on, thatll bring a MUCH needed breath of freshair to the play by play. Im glad they took that radio announcer to the woodshed.

Pasta, hows the AI?

How do you feel about the pass rush? Are you able to get pressure on the opposing qb? How about the opposing qb completeing 90% of passes like NCAA?

Too early for me to say. Right now if that hadn’t have been such a hot topic with NCAA, I don’t think I would’ve identified either as a problem. Since we’re all looking for it though in some ways that can change the perspective on things. So I’m just trying to play and see what stands out.

the Bills D is nasty! No offensive TD’s by NY…….if it wasn’t for J.P.’s INT that was returned for 6, the Bills woulda kicked the FG there at the end and won 10-9…..I can’t wait for Super Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I don’t like about the game this year is that the players on the sidelines stll look fake. For the life of me I can’t understand why it is so hard for EA to make the players on the sideline look like the players on the field. I also don’t like how the score overlay is dead center in the field of play. They should’ve made it so that the score overlay disappears during gameplay. It takes up too much of the screen. Hopefull EA will send a patch for that but I doubt it. Other than that the game looks good.

I have tons of positives that I liked from those vids (most notibly in presentation) but still two things that remain to erk me in all of the next gen versions of Madden.
1) QB sacks on HANDOFFS!!!!!!
2) never was a big fan of the Jumbotron injury thingie…..
…but hey that’s it! Everything looks to be coming strong this year and I can’t wait to play in the new snow & rain elements-

glad to hear that we start out at 0-0 online finally!!!!!!

Vids look awesome. I can’t believe people are still griping about dumb stuff like the players appearance on the sideline. I have never once thought a game was crap because of visual fluff that you barely pay attention to while you are playing.

Can you use the Seahawks in their old school unis. Yes, I am from Michigan but a life-long Hawks fan….Bring back the silver helmets…..

Oh, make that on the road against the Raiders….Brings back memories of the 1984 AFC championship game….

I second that! I think Collinsworth is annoying in real life but to be honest, him and Hammonds do a great job and it’s one of the things that I am looking most forward to.

THERE AREN’T ANY HOLDING CALLS IN MADDEN……….it just would be too unfair I think. At least facemasks only happen like once a game.

I wouldn’t call players appearance on the sideline dumb stuff. Of course it’s not the most important element of the game but it would be nice to have the players appearance on the sideline at least look like they belong in this century when it comes to graphics. I mean like it or not this is all part of the overall presentation of the game. I’m not saying the game is trash because of this but it would be nice to see the improvement after 4 years into next gen. I would also like to see the sidelines interactive with collision detection. It’s almost 2009 & with all the power of these Next Gen consoles, we should no longer see players phantomly walking through players on the sideline. Hopefully EA will fix this next year.

I don’t mind the sidelines at all…and I consider myself a nit-picker. They are better than last year’s at least. Pasta, can you do a vid of the opening game in Buffalo vs your Hawks? All I ask is that you take it easy on Edwards this time! I would love to see a fly-by of the Ralph!!!

That commentary is pretty bland and sounds canned at some points. It’s almost like Hammond took over for the radio guy, but they used the same recording style.

The Collinsworth stuff is fine, but it stands out as kind of an eyesore against Hammond. Sounds like they were recorded at two different studios.

Sure anything is better than the dull radio guy (why EA got away with that for 3 years is beyond me), but this isn’t all that much better.

One ticky-tack thing maybe, I still hate how it zooms up to the videoboard to show those generic looking graphic displays (in the first video at least, for the Edwards injury). I’ve never seen a real videoboard show something that simple in real games…heck, our rookie league baseball team here in Billings, MT has more complex video effects.

Well I won’t complain much longer, the gameplay doesn’t look too bad. I’ve always liked NCAA > Madden and especially this year (despite the lack of FCS teams) because the atmosphere and gameplay go hand in hand. Madden’s never had that good atmosphere on the next-gen.
