    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.

    For a last-gen game (and probably the last Madden on PS2), this was a very solid game. 2007 is still the best Madden ever on this platform, but I enjoyed this game a heck of a lot more than last year's version.… Full Review »

    Nothing really new other then roster updates, and the graphics seem to be a downgrade from previous years. Actually the graphics are really quite poor...save your money and play 08 or 07 for ps2.… Full Review »
