1 Star 2 camera choices!
I used to play w/madden classic view when you could see the whole field and every player- but they digressed and don’t even have it anymore. This game is truly pathetic. 360 is sucking big time.

4 Stars Madden 09
Madden 09 is once again madden. It doesn’t break any new boundaries. It’s fun to play if you like football. Madden 10 is coming out in about a month so i would just wait for it, but if you want to get a leg up on competition then go ahead and buy this to add to your collection

5 Stars Madden 09 – Great game!
Unbelievable price and quality from this sellor–the squeeze wrap was torn but all security seals were in place on this x-box 360 game and it was easy to tell it was brand new when examining the DVD. I trust and would not hesitate to do business with this sellor in the future. As for Madden 2009, it is a great game once you get past the learning aspect–there are decent tutorials. Lots to keep you learning in terms of game play. Excellent graphics and controller response. Very popular so easy to find on-line opponent.

2 Stars Overall Disappointed for the Price
I bought this game September of 2008. Overall this game is a disappointment. Madden not only is able to prevent NFL 2k series from being revived but there’s numerous shortcomings. In-game interface for this game is completely lackluster. It is difficult to navigate and call plays. Also, the game speed is too fast for having potentially 11 players to switch control over to. The overall interface and gameplay in ESPN NFL 2k5, Madden has yet to make a product close to it.

5 Stars Madden is Wicked!!!
Decided to upgrade from my Madden 98 and have not stop yet with this game. Keeps me alert and love the graphics that I was so used to. Just think I was never into football that much.
