When it comes to sports game franchises, Madden NFL Football takes a back seat to nobody. Madden 2009 is certainly a good example of why. The in depth football detail in this game is amazing, and the graphics via X-box 360 or Playstation 3 are stunning to say the least. While many imitators have come and gone over the years, nobody else even comes close to Madden Football 2009.
Game play - One thing that has made Madden a must-have for NFL football fans across the globe is the continuity. The controls have largely remained the same throughout the modern day franchise, and this helps the gamer to continue to enjoy the game from year to year. Other football video games have experimented with different controls and set ups, but the Madden controls are the only ones when it comes to football video games. The buttons are set up for football it seems, and in particular on the X-box 360. Everything is right there for the taking in the middle of a play.
Details - The NFL detail in Madden 2009 is stunning. From the mustache on your favorite linebacker to the mud that accumulates on your uniform as the game goes on, Madden 2009 delivers an in game visual experience like no other in the sports video game world. You can almost feel the stadium rocking with excitement as the home team drives for the winning score. Over the years, the Madden franchise has really honed their craft. The hits in Madden 2009 are unreal. When a receiver comes across the middle one time too many, they are likely to get their head taken off just like in a real NFL football game. On tipped balls, there is an actual scramble for the loose ball. Passing long when the safeties cheat over actually works because the receiver is open. These are just a couple of the thousands of examples of detail in Madden 2009.
Roster Depth and Stats - For a hardcore football gamer, nothing else even comes close to Madden 2009 when it comes to rosters, stats, and financial details. If you like building a franchise from the ground up, you can do that too. Right down to the last salary cap dollar, you can decide who will help you for the least amount of money. Be a general manager if you like in Madden 2009. Just playing with those details is a ton of fun without even playing a game. For the hardcore NFL gamer, however, you will want the whole package.
Throughout the history of NFL Football video games, Madden has reigned supreme. With the incredible graphics, exciting game play, and unrivaled details of the game, it is quite clear that Madden 2009 fully delivers what every football gamer wants….Details and hard hitting action!

Are you crazy? 2k sports is, or excuse me, would be way better than “Madden” 09. The only reason there is no game comparable is because there is no other game. 2k sport completely out did madden in 2005.
