I wonder if that last scene is implying what "could " of happened if Warner got to throw the ball. Im sure the boys as azsportstalk.com are all over it

what I didnt like madden 09 is that on 360 you couldnt user control other teams. I like updating coaching staffs.

Bit of topic but....From what I understand Harrison was going to be a 98 on this game prior to the White House trip he did not attend. Yet now he is a 97 OVR in the game, is this because he did not want to go see our commie president?

I consider myself a pretty consistent Madden player. Every year I take a new team, get rid of all their talent, and rebuild them. I'm on season 10 or 11 with my current team. I have a 777 Madden IQ rating.

One thing I hope they change is franchise mode. It needs a seriously overhaul. Not every guy I draft should stay with me for as long as I have cap room, which is easy because every single one of my backups are in the 70s and cheap as hell. If a guy goes down for a season, I just pull someone in from the FA and sign them to a 1 year deal. When structuring rookiee contracts, I pay them all of their contract with no guaranteed money, so if they suck I can release them without losing anything but the year-to-year rate. No player, especially a rookie, would agree to that.

I'm just hoping that you sim one week and have all this stuff to take care of, such as irate players or getting alerts that certain players are trash talking. Hell, it'd be awesome if you got an alert saying one of your players was caught with an illegal substance, and you could bench him to boost team discipline or play him to increase your chance of winning. I also want some presentation. Week-by-week there should be a recap of plays or an update on the QB that's having a mind blowing season. At least do it after 8 weeks in.

I want it to be more like I'm doing an actual franchise rather than be a numbers game.

I am with you on this. I enjoy the GM aspect of the franchise as much as the games themselves.

Right now I am still on the 05 version, for the Gamecube. My wife bought me the 07, but it was too choppy, the gamecube couldn't handle the information smooth enough.

I pre-ordered 2010 for the PS3, so I imagine I am going to have quite a bit to learn again.

I think I am sticking with 09 for a few years...I don't see anything on the feature list compelling enough to buy it over 09.

Keep playing 05 and update the rosters. Madden 05 was the last one that wasn't crap...

I am actually really interested in this one:

This one actually raises my pulse rate!

Games like this are what makes EA keep buying the NFL out. 2k or Back Breaker would eat Madden's lunch with the NFL license.
