Madden '09 Info and Reviews

[Ruhskins]

Here's my review. I got the game last nite at midnite. It has taken me a while to learn the buttons and to get to know the different menu options. Since my last Madden game was for the regular x-box, it has taken me a while to adapt to the button configurations and whatnot. I took the Madden IQ test...and played for a while with that as my skill level, then I switched to skill level All-Pro. I like the All-Pro level, it is just enough of a challenge for me without me getting killed. I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting to the defense controls, so far I've done ok with the offensive controls. I do like the online gaming, I just hope to get more practices as I go against people.

I hate to say this but I do miss the newspaper feature and the e-mails you'd get in franchise mode. I am having trouble fielding punts, I don't know what's going on with that (just like the Eagles at the beginning of last season).

In general it is a good game, I think I will enjoy more as I learn about it more.
