Buyer beware; get Xbox version if possible. 1080i warning; on-line glitch is horrible August 26, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the Collector's Edition because I thought it was a great deal.
I hadn't played Madden religiously for a few years.
I was ready to dive back in. I wanted the Xbox version, but the friends that would actually
play on-line only owned PS3s. So I gave up the achievement love and got the PS3 version.
I was hesitant because last year's PS3 version ran at a slower frame rate.
I did some quick research and I didn't see reports of any differences this year.
Before I called my buddies up, I wanted to try a quick game. I jumped in and started playing like I never stopped playing. The game played almost exactly the same as 3 years ago. I had to get used to the hit stick and such, but it is still pretty much the exact same game. I'm not sure if I liked being good already, or if I wanted more of a learning curve. It was a little odd.
So I fired the PS3 up and that was when the problems started. The game only plays in 720p. My HDTV in my game room is a 40" Sony that only displays 1080i, not 720p. I had thought that after the PS3 launch titles made this mistake, EA and Sony would have fixed the issue. Nope. So there I was, stuck playing in 480i in 4:3 mode on my TV. So the graphics were bland and I couldn't play in widescreen so I couldn't see the whole field. My wide out WRs were off screen.
The Xbox version will play in 1080i on my TV just fine.
I still decided to suck it up, because the only reason I got the PS3 version was to play with buddies who lived in other states.
This is where it got horrible.
The PS3 online experience vs. Xbox live is night and day.
The PS3 was horrible.
It took us forever to get a game going. There was some kind of glitch that kept changing both of our playbooks as we started the game to Chicago's playbook. Also, the only way we could start the damn game was to hit the X button exactly at the same time. We had to synchronize our button pushing. Literally saying to eachother , "ready, one, two, three.hit X". This was so stupid. But it was the only way we could get the game to start.
We had all kinds of problems with my ear piece going in and out. Not sure if it was a Sony thing or EA servers.
Once we got the game going, it was fun. My Raider's beat the Chargers :-)
I will never choose a PS3 version again. It just feels so unpolished.
Good, but far from great. August 25, 2008

Maybe my hopes were too high since this is the first Madden game I bought since getting a PS3, but I'm not just not overly impressed by anything in this game. The Graphics are very good, not great. The animations and physics especially on pass plays IMO are no better than Madden on the PS2. Gameplay is nothing special either. Is it a bad game? No. It's just a decent game that leaves a whole lot more to be desired.
 Good game when it works. August 25, 2008

Madden 09 started off better than 08 for me. But that didn't last long. It freezes quite often in the middle of games. It also bombed my PS3 last night. I contacted Sony and the first question she asked was, " Were you playing Madden 09?" I said, "Yeah, how did you know?" Apparently the number of PS3' crashing is up by about 60% since Madden 09 came out and the common factor is people were playing Madden 09 at the time their unit crashed. On a side note, Sony was very helpful and is sending me a new unit.
I will update this review with more game play once I can get far enough in the franchise mode to see if they fixed all the bugs from 08.
The graphics are nice, if you have an hdtv. August 25, 2008

yes i can see a graphic overhaul in the game for sure. why all the lock ups. i cant get threw one game without it locking up on me. they havnt come out with an update for it yet. passing is so hard to do on this, and as soon as you push the speed button all the defenders speed right to you lmao, if you ever notice when your in the huddle, the widereciever keeps running around the field LOL. it looks so not polished it is pathetic

The game is fun, but in a couple of ways it is "maddening". Do you see what I just did there? Way too many interceptions by the computer opponent. It's a slant or nothing. Throwing the ball downfield seems like an almost sure interception by the defense. Forget about pressuring the opposing qb either. Not gonna happen. It would also help if you could challenge a call on the field.
