    While the main game still plays like Madden, hardcore players are going to be upset at the overall lack of improvement in Madden '09.

    It's not a horrible game, but it just doesn't do anything new at all, making it a watered down copy of last year's game with only mild items to keep your attention for a few minutes here and there.

    Offering little in the way of new features or modes, those who already own previous Madden installments won't find much reason to purchase this otherwise great title.

    A solid football title that you probably don’t need to play. Make some roster adjustments to 08 (or even 07) or, better yet, make the move to next-gen consoles and start soaking in some big-time NFL atmosphere. Your $40 will thank you.
