Madden 09 Features | Sports Gamers's Blog

After viewing the trailers for Madden 09 I see that the game will be a lot better then last years version.For one the staium and playing field look a lot better.When you call a play you see a detalied stadium and a more tv like field.While your running you also see more of the screen since its a fartherback view which makes for a better game.Once the play has ended the players dance and brag like they do in real life.Also the scorboard has gotten smaller so you see more of the screen and in snowy weather you can now see footprints and flashbulbs from the croud during important moments.

There's also a cool blue hue that is added on to snow-filled games to accentuate the feeling of actually being in the cold. It may sound a little funny but it actually looks really cool in-game.

The Virtual Trainer has also been added to the game were you'll find several challenges to complete for passing, rushing, pass defense and rush defense.Also it betters your madden play and tells you which button to press in the situation meaning you'll beat your friend by an extra touchdown or two.

Also EA Sports has added a football analysis in Cris Collinsworth I you get sacked but had a reciver open downfield or if you throw the ball to an unopen guy with your best wide reciver open he will tell you about it.He will use the Telestrator to show you the path you should've taken and, from the few plays that we were shown, should also make accurate observations as to what was going on in the play and what you could've done for a better outcome.

Madden Moments is another cool part of the game.It alowes you to change your teams history by playing great games that ended in a loss.Youll see the Packers NFC Championship loss which makes Madden even more addicting.

Last but not least NFL Head Coach makes its way into Madden. Head Coach was a solid game,but in Madden its much better.The only bad part is that it only comes in the Collector's Edition so most of us wont be able to use the feature.
