Because for us gamers, this belongs in entertainment...

Anyone have a link for posted player ratings?

I'm kindof curious how the titans will end up on paper.

You mean roster update '09, right?

this is a video game, so funny thing, i looked for it in entertainment.
deal with it.

Well if the information you seek is available, it will probably be in the other thread.

5/30/2008 12:25:07 PM

I'm just saying, there's a thread in ST created a month ago by the guy who creates the Madden/NCAA threads every year. You're probably going to lose your little message board crusade here. Sorry, man.

this site has player ratings for most teams

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/882/882456p1.html


Mario is a 97 overall
Rivers is a 90 overall
Wilson is a 96
Holt a 94
Cotchery a 89

And Madden's ratings continue to piss me off. What's the point of using a 100 point scale if every player on the field is going to be 80-100? The greatest player in the history of the sport could come along, but in this game would only be 2 points better than Mario Williams.

6/25/2008 11:29:55 PM

Mario Williams isn't the best player in the history of the sport?

Sounds like something you'd get in a San Francisco retirement home.

7/31/2008 7:14:20 PM

i will say, all tho i don't play madden at all (i will fiddle with it every season), that the commentary finally seems real and legit.

7/31/2008 7:25:56 PM

I haven't read anything about this years game at all, so that whole Madden Test thing in the Xbox demo was pretty crazy. I'm curious to see how this whole custom difficulty thing works out.

7/31/2008 9:26:41 PM

i haven't had a chance to play the demo yet but I heard that its a lot better than last years. I might consider buying Madden AGAIN, even though every year I hate myself for it.

8/1/2008 10:51:11 AM

i like the new angle that you play from on offense....pretty cool

definitely getting it...could this be the year that we actually get the greatest madden ever?

8/1/2008 11:15:36 AM

^ Wasn't that ESPN 2005? Oh, Madden...

truth

8/1/2008 2:10:26 PM

Haven't bought Madden since 2003.

Before that, bought Madden 98


I only buy it every 5 years....


this is the year for me.

8/1/2008 3:37:22 PM

Then by your logic

You should've bought it last year instead

you dumb motherfucker

[Edited on August 1, 2008 at 4:16 PM. Reason : lol]

8/1/2008 4:16:31 PM

yeah, but last years SUCKED from what I heard, so I skipped a year.


you presumptuous dipshit

8/1/2008 5:42:38 PM

I find the camera zoomed in too far in the demo. You can't see the receivers.

When selecting a play, why do you have to hold L2 to select a play by X,Sq,Tr,O?

Is the vision cone in '09?

2006 and 2007 sucked

2008 was ok and a step forward

this one is looking to be a worthwile purchase finally

8/4/2008 9:38:32 AM

well graphics seem much better and the frame rate is solid. I think I need a little more than that quick demo to tell how I feel about it though. That Madden moment was hard as hell. Took me a few tries.

8/5/2008 9:03:24 AM

yeah, it took me a bunch.. As it should! It just makes you appreciate what the Giants did even more


Out of my first 5 tries, I got to the 1-2 yard line twice and both times I fumbled going into the endzone

8/5/2008 10:54:03 AM

the first play the first time I did the Madden moment I completed about a 2 yard flat pass to the TE...then I was like "wait a minute, whats Shockey doing playing in the Super Bowl"

8/5/2008 11:16:22 AM

I have it preordered at Circuit City and got a $5 gift card

8/5/2008 12:41:52 PM

I've got a copy waiting for me at home, I'll report back if I have any time to play tonight.

8/5/2008 2:42:21 PM

wtf mate???

8/5/2008 3:59:14 PM

the demo pissed me off. I completed it on the first play from scrimmage, once again proving that hail mary madden is still typical for the game.

The graphics are an improvement though.

8/5/2008 4:08:07 PM

Just played the copy I got for a bit.

Made me realize how much I still prefer NCAA over Madden most of the time. The Madden IQ thing was very helpful though. I did really well on the running and passing drills, really poorly on the defense.

Then I played a half of Chargers vs Raiders and it was 10-3 CHargers at the half.

Graphics look pretty great, the camera flashes in the crowd are overdone though. Everything else looks awesome.

8/5/2008 9:10:55 PM

played demos on both xbox and ps3

the ps3 demo keeps bugging out though

I got to kick off with to the patriots after i scored a touchdown and extra point

then it just froze up

8/7/2008 1:32:24 PM

^after i score to win with giants it says like challenge completed and thats the end

8/7/2008 2:25:59 PM

Yeah that is what it does for me on XBOX but my friends PS3 demo just does weird shit from time to time

Just picked it up from my store to play around with, The Madden Skill Test and Virtual trainer are probably the most impressive features, besides just basic upgrade on everything.

8/10/2008 5:58:34 PM

what store

don't be stingy

8/10/2008 6:09:14 PM

not being stingy its just nice getting everything a week ahead

8/10/2008 11:28:26 PM

wtf is with the Tron shit

8/11/2008 12:00:17 AM

it tests how good you are at running, passing, tackling, and defending in a Tron-like environment then adjusts the game based on your skillzzz
