Full Game of Madden 09: Texans @ Titans

Posted August 8th, 2008 at 6:49 pm

For the second full game of Madden 09 I wanted to have two teams that generally aren’t seen in videos that would provide a different style game than the previous one, this time in the snow. For another division rivalry I went with the Texans @ Titans (CPU). If you have a request for the next game feel free to leave it in the comments. I’ll randomly select a match-up from there. More videos, impressions and details from Madden will continue throughout the weekend.

This game did have some different results than the Bills-Jets. Vince Young showed some inaccuracy and the Titans were able to run the ball effectively. I continue to struggle on offense especially in the running game which has provided some frustration. It may be time to go to the Madden IQ rather than keep playing on All-Pro.

Continue on to watch the full game as broken down by quarter.

    Pasta on your skill set, I think you need to ‘fool’ the cpu a.i, a little bit. Call a run play and formation audible to play action, change two routes on a pass play you call, you gotta play with the cpu, if you call a play and leave it vanilla, the cpu awareness just sits on your play. Call Shotgun runs and audible to the deep pass play, leave the TE and RB to block. Just a few of my tips. also when running play action or dive plays ‘aggressive’ line shift works a ton, oline really comes off the snap and lay the wood to the defenders.

    [quote comment="31499"]About the running game…

    I really struggle with the run in NCAA this year, UNLESS, I have a back with a speed rating of at least 95. Any speed rating below that and its impossible to run to the outside–the corners and safeties will always beat you to the outside. In my dynasty I finally recruited a speed back with a 95 speed rating and now I can run all over most defenses (600+ yards and 10 TDs in 4 games). Prior to that I had a 92 speed rated back and in 2 seasons I averaged 600 yards.

    Also, a friend of mine has the strat guide for NCAA and he said it plainly says that your running game will be shut down unless you have a back with a mid to high 90′s speed rating.

    Pasta, after seeing your game with the Texans and then the highlight with LT, it looks like speed is a huge factor in Madden as well.[/quote]
    IMO, the running in NCAA is great, I avg 105 yds a game online, I run with the Irish, and I run between the tackles, I get a few homeruns with A.Allen (95 speed), but I play solid up the gut football with Alridge (90 spd 90 trk). check my sportsworld. same name all over, Smokez4Dayz. You have to be satisfied with 5 yard and 6 yard gains to see that the running is great, you don’t get reggie bush breakaways every play.

    [quote comment="31527"]Adam Jones isn’t yet reinstated so why cry about it. I hope he does get though because with him on the field playing nickle will be so fly.[/quote]

    cuz he can play pre season games he is in training camp and we all know he will be reinstated. If something happen between now and week 1 they can just take him off the game just as quick as they took Vick off last year.I play with the cowboys and with him on the rosters i can bump Henry to saftey and pac man up

    i have madden 09. for those of you who play franchise, it’s a complete waste of money. stick with 08. the game still freezes and psychic a.i. still exist. this is just a tweaked 08. all they did was tone down some stuff like spec catch, int’s, fumble, and db’s jumping routes. other than that, it’s the exact same game as 08. the server sucks hard. other than that, it’s a decent game.

    Ok I have the game and don’t listen to this guy its not the same as 08, I am kinda mad the franchise didn’t change that much expect for rival games and improved stats, It doesn’t freeze so you know he doesn’t have the game, I kinda wish i got the CE with head Coach but is still a good game and I’m liking it so far.

    can you tell me how the players progress after the years over… because 08′s was horrible… only like the top 5 in stats in each position progressed while everyones AWR dropped… is it still the same?
