Madden 2009 Has finally leaked some more information for us to share with you, this time we’ve got our hands on some team ratings, and there aren’t many surprises here, nor are we going to argue to much with this list at the moment. Other then Jacksonville ranked a respectable 93 after beating the Steelers twice last year, and the Steelers managed to squeeze out a 94!

New Madden 2009 Feature Annouced: Rewind

Today we’ve learned of yet another exciting new feature that will be released for the up coming Madden 2009 game due out in early August. This year players will be able to rewind plays, or take them back and do it all over again! Its basically a Mulligan for Madden!

Say you’re playing, and your opposition runs a kick return for a touchdown! Well now you can prevent that and take your chances on defense! With this feature you can improve your game, or cause some unruly riots to break out from doing it to much!

So far we know you’ll be able to select 0, 1, 3, 5, or unlimited rewinds when you begin a match, and you’ll be able to use the new feature on Offense, Defense and Special Teams. You won’t be able to rewind plays online however!

First Madden 2009 Trailer

 The first offical Madden 2009 Trailer has been released and WOW does everything look amazing for the game this year.

You can notice tons of visual improvements over previous years, and even new game play features and all kinds of other enhancements to game play for Madden 2009. Most noticable is the new game clock in the top center of the screen, and some other really nice camera angles that weren’t available before.

This year is making Madden 2009 look really promising so far, and hopefully it lives up to the hype especially being a 20th anniversary edition. And here’s a link to go view the Madden 2009 Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33492.html

Madden 2009 New Features

Thanks to the official press release regarding the selection of Brett Favre for the cover of Madden 09 we now have the first idea of some big features in the game. The likely NFL Network duo of Tom Hammond and Cris Collinsworth will be featured as the commentators for Madden 09 and online leagues have been added.

“Madden NFL 09 strives to take authenticity and depth of gameplay to an new level with more than 85 new features and enhancements, including the all-new Total Control Animation system. This system will allow players to perform combination moves like never before and includes an innovative picture-in-picture playcall window. In Madden NFL 09, the game engine is continually assessing the player’s performance and will adapt a custom experience to every type of gamer, from newcomer to the veteran Madden NFL player.

Madden NFL 09 will also feature a network-inspired broadcast presentation. Players will benefit from the authentic football knowledge of an in-booth play-by-play and color commentary team featuring Cris Collinsworth and Tom Hammond. In addition, numerous graphical enhancements have been made, including realistic weather and grass, sleeker player models and exterior stadium views.

Madden NFL 09 gives gamers the ability to create online leagues. Fans can now take their rivalries online and compete in leagues with up to 32 teams. Online league play will feature in-depth stat tracking and a flexible scheduling option.”

Seems like a good choice for commentators. Regardless of who they went with some people weren’t going to like them but there were some possibilities that would’ve been much worse. After finding out all the details regarding online dynasty in NCAA Football 09 I’m encouraged that the online leagues in Madden will have all the options and flexibility that would be necessary.

Madden 2009: What do you expect?

Better yet, what do you hope the developers will finally get right in Madden NFL Football, and hope they get rid of?

EA Annouces Madden Won’t Be In 2009

EA Sports has annouced that legendary annoucer and fan favorite, not to mention creator of the most popular video game ever, has been left out of his own game! John Madden won’t be annoucing the games this year for Madden 2009, as a matter of fact, the only thing Madden has to do with this years game is the fact its still his name.
