Madden '09

[sahyder1]

I pre-ordered mine off of Amazon.....it was shipped today via UPS Ground with delivery on the 12th. I'm sure I could've gotten a copy on release day considering the mall I work at has 2 gaming stores....plus there is another mall 5 minutes away both doing midnight releases.....but why stand in line like an idiot?

[TheArsenal]

I preordered from GAME, just so I get double reward points.

[Cactus Drags]

I work at Gamestation, so I'll be getting mine before anyone else has a chance to. Ad's got to wait till release day

[sahyder1]

So can we get a legitimate EWB Madden Tournament going this time? I wanna set one up again....hopefully this time with some success since the game will be new and people will be into it.

I'm up for it, but I'm on holiday August 30th to September 6th so I'll need a bye week >_>

I'd also like a bit of time to get back into playing an NFL game for a bit. Also, the last one utterly failed. But if we can get enough people in, who are deifnitely going to play, I'm game. Are we going to run it off the board or through the online league feature?

Ya' know, for some reason I keep coming into this thread.

And continually, I am disappointed that I will not be able to partake.

I wouldn't mind doing the online feature....I've never actually done that.

If it ends up being as fun as it looks, and being as great as the original could have been, I'm more excited about Head Coach than Madden. Of course I'll be getting both, but I wouldn't be surprised if Head Coach takes up more of my time.

[Maxx]

I don't know why people are getting excited about Head Coach, the last one was abysmal

[EddieRuckus]

I'll be trading in a few games that I never play anymore and be picking this up on Tuesday, as there are a lot of places I could get it even if I have to get cash instead of store credit. Also I'm up for the online league, and I don't have strict NAT anymore so it's not so fucking laggy.

I would seriously consider getting Madden this year just for the Online League stuff.

I've read that they've made quite the amount of improvements since the last one was so poorly received.

[Maxx]

Everyone should have been given their money back for the steaming pile of shit the last Head Coach was. I'll be waiting quite awhile before attempting to get it again.

[livid]

Yeah my ex-roommate got it and we played it the day he got it.

Didn't play it again after that.

Apparently it's a lot more like the offseason of Franchise Mode in Madden than the first was. Which is awesome, considering that I tend to sim through the season and build a team rather than play every game.

[OGpistolpete]

How about you tell us how the gameplay was...?

[Maxx]

For head coach? It was shit.

Did this game actually come out in the UK on Friday?

[alldaws1]

No, it comes out this coming Friday in the UK.

I got it for the PS2 today. I guess I would say that it feels like another roster update. I haven't played an actual game yet, but the drills did seem more fluid than previous versions. There are some new features as well that I haven't went into yet (like that Fantasy thing). I'm just messing around with Franchise right now.

But I love my Madden. I wish I could Favre on the Jets right now, I guess I'll have to wait for that roster update Sony releases.
