I've only played one game so far, but it was a good time.

I still have to adjust to these controls. Sprinting with R2 and strafing with L2 feels awkward. That patch offering last gen controls can't get here fast enough.........

If anyone wants to play online later let me know.

What is worse for me is the dumpoff pass as L1 instead of R1. Why change it from last year!?

Yeah having to do anymore with my left hand is just odd. Let me just concentrate on moving my guy with my left and hitting my receivers with my right. I'm getting used to it slowly. But it's still something I have to remind myself of before every snap.


I don't have many of you on my PSN friends list. Please send me some invites so we can start playing.

Once everyone gets the game we should create a GAF room, password it off, and anyone that wants to play another GAFfer can just head in there.

I don't have it yet, but my PSN name is Wsv771 for those who don't have me on their list. It's looking like Madden will be strictly online for me for the first time, ever. Head Coach seems like it's gonna be more than enough to take care of my Franchise mode needs.

Yeah man good game brother! 24-0 before the halftime connection drop

The Cowboys are a solid team this year and it'll be a crushing blow if I can't take home the title this year. Alot of those picks were user initiated buddy, so don't go blaming Alexis too much. The defense is tough though and Pacman isn't even on the roster yet! And yes...please don't forget you have Gore on your team. The CPU got a couple scores with his overratedness!

To the video highlights!

52 yard touchdown bomb to TO from FMT biting with his safety:

Another touchdown bomb to Crayton from another play action fake FMT moved his safety out of position on:

Lastly I call this clip "I GOT HIM":

Step your game up with that POS team FMT! Just kidding bud... :D

FYI, all 7-11 stores are selling Madden 09 right now.

I need some major work on my offense. It always takes me a few weeks with a new Madden game to get my running game down, so that is normal. The new playbook has me a little screwed up as far as my typical passing plays go.

Good game FMT. I think that is the first time you and I have ever played against each other. That blindside blitz did me in a couple of times. Need to remember that.

Yeah, I was gonna say... Anyway, some of them aren't even selling it at all. There's 3 close by and none of them are selling the game period.

man. everybody in austin are pussies.

i went to 3 7/11s. all of them are selling the game...except they won't break the street date. i told them, "other 7/11s have already sold out by selling it early. and they said, "we can get in trouble. it's illegal". FUCK

i even tried Target, thinking the grandmas who work there wouldn't know what a street date is. and even they said, "we're not allowed to sell it early"

Ugh, that sucks! I have to run some errands so I'm going to check a few more around here, especially the more popular ones right off 75. The friggin' corporate HQs are in Dallas, we should get it early dammit!

I was going to comment to that effect, I think the differences between teams is more apparent now than last year.

On another note, I think we should consider All-Madden difficulty.

You have to go where the Asians are; they don't give a fuck about street dates. CASH ONLY!!!


I'm eager to see what this patch fixes tomorrow night. I've had the cpu kick FG's on me that clearly bang off the uprights called good more than once now.

Played one game online (a 13-10 loss), but it ran super smooth on my end. I don't know it's my Fios or what but it was like an offline 2-player game. I was impressed.

I am having a really hard time stuffing the run. Power backs like Gore, AD, and even Ronnie Brown seem to have no problem ripping off three and four yard runs at will. definitely need to make some adjustments.

Have you guys that have played online been able to get your audibles to load? It didn't work in the game I played last night.

I am just going to wait until midnight tomorrow. Unfortunately I am going to EB. I would have rather done it at Wal-Mart, but I had a crapload of trade-ins.

This is really true because when I was underage and hanging out in NYC, my friends and I were able to buy beer from Chinese merchants...

Unfortunately Austin does not have shit like this :(

Man I am having the opposite problem. I use Jacobs, the most powerful of power backs, and I can't truck or bowl anyone over. Am I mis-timing things? I would think that with Jacobs this shit would be easy, but little bitch safeties and CBs have no problems popping me and stopping me dead in my tracks.

Question, does playing on All-Madden increase the speed of the game at all?

Went to a local spot, haven't been able to go to J&L in Chinatown, and they were charging $75 for it. I'll try the local 7-11, see if I can get lucky. If not, tomorrow.

Edit: I recall you had trouble last year running the ball when the game first released, you found away around that...:lol

ck i'm not sure we're seeing the samething, cause jacobs was running my guys over until i started spotlighting him and even then i had to freaking have a glob of gang tackling happen to stop him.

but you are right. the difference between "good" teams and "bad" teams is more evident than ever. if you have a shitty team you're going to have to play smart and play to your strengths. good bye passing game, hello 30 rushes per game with frank... although that wont happen cause the fucker seems to get injured once per quarter!

So if you spotlight a runner it effects your Run D? Didn't know that, or actually think about it. Better late than never I guess. :lol

WHAT?

The manual says nothing about this. I assumed that highlighting was just so you could see where that player is on the field after the ball is snapped.

I'll have to run some tests.
