Write-up on the Skins in Madden 2009. Good write-up, skins WR's are looking SOOOOOOO good this year. I can't wait for madden it comes out on august 12th.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I can't wait for Madden, especially when there is a roster update to have the current Redskins. They will do very well, not only in Madden, but in this NFL season.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I can't wait till this game comes out and it seems like the skins are going to be better then they were last year in madden. It'll be interesting to see if Favre gets hit with the "Madden Curse" hopefully not (knock on wood)

Will you feel that way if he is QB for the Bucs?

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

Hey guys, is it necessary to preorder Madden, or can you typically walk into a store on the 12th and pick it up?

I've normally pre-ordered, but have never seen it actually out of stock for more than a day or two down here in VB.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

The only concern on offense will be JCs Accuracy rating at 86. From what I've read the secondary will cover much better, particularly downfield this year.

EA has put in slide protection on the 360 & PS3 to minimize the instant pressure you can get up the gut. Having Taylor and AC at the DEs will be huge. You won't be able to play Cover 2 Zone and don't expect help over the top from Doughty's side in Cover 2 Man. It may boost the defense overall to see what Springs' rating at SS is and move him there.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

i usually go to walmart at 11pm and buy it when they release it at midnight. I always see it on the shelves, but some places give you a credit when you pre order it. I saw a sign at 7-11 that gave you a 5 dollar coupon for preordering it through 711.

I'd go ahead and pre-order it...that way there is no mistake that you have a copy on Opening Day.

As long as you don't go to a game store, you should be able to pick it up. I used to go get it from Wal*Mart the day it dropped every year without ever having an issue. However, this year I have a friend who works at GameStop and gets 15% off, so I'm getting it from there this year.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I had a hell of a time passing with JC last year unless I ran a lot and did a lot of play action. I won a lot of games with them, but couldnt open up an offense like i can in ncaa.

(btw in ncaa georgia bulldogs are beast. I cant catch a break with wvu, even though i like playing with noel divine... but georgia can't be stopped...)

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

The Skins in Madden are looking pretty good this year. I always like to mix in 2 TE sets and with Davis on board I'm all set.

Florida is pretty tough too, although not as good on D as Georgia. Tebow is tough to stop.

Will all secondaries cover better this year, or just ours? Frankly, that's one of my biggest gripes with Madden; it's easy to pass for 400 yards on any defense and it's easy to get passed on for 400 yards with any defense. I'm tired of having the 1st ranked run defense and a piss poor pass defense (even when I have top-notch DBs).

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

SGG you are so right! It is still a simulation of the game football and when you really think about it you have very little control of all aspects of the game (which I know is impossible).

I have said this before but this year I am not buying, I am using the sixty dollars on a diffrent game. I am sick of playing half way through a season (usually this happens around mid August) and saying to myself how is this diffrent then last years version.

Seriously, I have a Bears franchise where I blew up a lot of the team and drafted a QB, but the biggest move I made was signing Bo Scaife as my 2nd TE. I run the play action, boot leg a lot where the 2nd TE comes across the middle, that play is my bread and butter on 3rd and longs.

Btw, what level does everyone play on? I play All-Pro and occasionally All Madden, but I haven't found it at all easy to pass in that game. I am getting pretty good at it, but I do throw an unusually high number of picks. Mostly I rely on the running game and don't plan on throwing for more than 150+ with a few TD's and a pick or less.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I play on all-pro, call me a wuss but all madden is just ridiculous and not much fun

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;460437]I play on all-pro, call me a wuss but all madden is just ridiculous and not much fun[/QUOTE]

I tried it some, I threw way too many picks! I can't keep changing my passing style every time I move up in that game...it seems like on All-Madden if you don't already have a beast QB you're pretty much screwed.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009

Same here.


Rookie is ridiculous too, scoring 200 points is only fun if you're playing against Dallas.

Yeah the last time I tried a season on all-madden in the first game I threw 3 picks on 3 straight drives. The final straw was when a LB who wasn't even facing the line of scrimmage jumped sky high to make a pick over the middle. Straight up cheese.

lol, yeah I love that. Not to mention it seems like all your receiver's hands go to shit like they're playing hot potato.

Wuss! [IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon12.gif[/IMG]

Seriously I cant play on all-pro have to be all madden or heisman on ncaa with the sliders turned all the way up for the cpu otherwise its too easy and it doesnt show whos better between 2 players

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I play all pro because its the default for online play. I get used to the speed of the game on that setting so it translates somewhat to multiplayer. If it werent for the online games, i probably wouldn't buy the game every year either, though. Playing through the seasons is fun from time to time, but it gets old quick, and I suck at drafting. I've only ever drafted one great player, a wideout named espinaso or something with a 99 speed and a 97 acc, and he was like 6'3" and hands of glue. His soap has to dominate. He dominates.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I just downloaded the Madden 09 demo off of Xbox live marketplace last night. It wasn't very revealing but I got to go through the process which determines your skill level and against my will I lead the Giants through the Super Bowl winning drive. I was definitely impressed with the graphics, but I didn't get a glimpse of any of the menus, rosters, etc. I highly recommend checking it out. Its worth the hour or so it took to download it. (Its a little over 1gb in size)

Play Me, you can be Georgia, and then we can report back on the board the stats..........Oh yeah Matty, on some madden sights, they have where you can post your Madden and NCAA stat's can we get a board like that, like have one email address, where the stat's come straight to the board, plus the W-L ratio.

I DL it yesterday as well. It did take awhile. Just in case you don't know you can set your Xbox to DL stuff after it is turned off. Sometimes I do this before headign to bed.

Overal lthe demo was kind of fun. I like the skill test part.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

How are the graphics for the new Madden? I read somewhere they are the best to date for Madden. I'll have to check out the demo.

Ok the game they show is the Super Bowl, so a lot is going on. It seems really busy but I was impressed with the way the players moved when being hit or avoiding others.

MUST CONTROL URGE NOT TO WASTE $60!

Not to sound like a major D.B., but All-Madden is fine if you really learn a playbook. I really struggled on All-Madden, until I started using practices to learn routes and which plays do and do not work for me. Now that I know the "Balanced Offense" cold, my offense is virtually unstoppable. Also, changing routes at the LOS based on coverages will [U]really[/U] help.

Yeah, I've actually been thinking it's time to step up. Hell, I have a Lions franchise that picked off Peyton Manning 7 times yesterday! The problem is I'll have to entirely change my offense again. I always thought Madden did a decent job of taking away certain plays, but there will some unstoppable ones. I'd just have to readjust to the harder difficulty.

That said, the new Madden supposedly adjusts to your playing style.

Re: Redskins in Madden 2009
 

I read that the superhero LB INTs are gone which is a good thing and one of my major beefs with last year's version.
