This is the best madden yet. You have the franchise mode, create a player, create a team, and many other modes (all of which are a lot of fun). They also have a new skill level called Madden IQ, it puts you through a series of tests that will set the games skill level to your skill level; it will also update your skill as you play. Overall this is a better Madden than the one we all have came to know and love. 5 out of 5

My review on this site is just below, but for my video review of this, go to kidstube.com and type in "Madden 09 wii review"

First, this is a review for the WII version, NOT any other consoles. The first thing is that there is a great feature called "call your shots" that allows you to draw your reciever's routes on a passing play. You are probably supposed to use it when you don't like the defense, but it is great anytime. Commentary is good, but the computer AI is ridiculous. Even the 3-13 Rams got off a 70 yard passing play on their first play of my game against them. There are too many big plays, wwaayy too many sacks, and too many touchdowns. When you get a touchdown you are supposed to get up and move the wiimote and nunchuck to celebrate. When you are on multiplayer its fun, but when you are playing the CPU, it is completely ridiculous and pointless. There is a way to turn it off, but then you cannot celebrate. There is a good collection of mini-games on this disk. They are supposed to help your skills at this game, but they are so fun that you may not return to the regular game for a very long time. There is even a backyard football game on this, called 5 on 5. Each touchdown is one point and playcalling is made unbelievably simple. The players have big heads, for reasons beyond me. They have franchise and superstar. Franchise is good but the more you play it, the more likely you are to get bored. Superstar is quite fun, as long as you aren't a QB. If you are a QB, the camera angle constantly switches from seeing one side of the field to the other, and sometimes the camera is so bad that you cannot see the reciever that you passed to. Also, when I got drafted by the Falcons, I recieved an e-mail telling me my job was to help Michael Vick be successfull. Michael Vick?...whoa..wait..a..minute.....WHAT? The main game will frustrate you with its bad AI, but EA made the other features good enough to make it fun. It's a game worth buying.

it's football. And on wii its real fun. I cantwait for madden 10 tomarrow!!!!!!!

alot of kids injoy madden 09 well packer fans on the game packers always win.

my cousin does we played it it was good and no dbarto not the best madden yet the best one was 07 for wii but ncaa 07 will be the best football game forever and i do not know what syestem you played it for i played it for ps2 so i give this 5 stars well goodbye BOOMER SOONER , DO DALLAS COWBOYS , STELLERS , ROLL TIDE,PISTOL PETE,SO LONG

Madden NFL 09 is much, much, much better than all of the other Maddens. For people who love or just enjoy football I suggest you get this game.

dabestmaddenEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game, as most people say, is the best Madden game yet. Most of the stuff in this game are pretty age appropiate, you can enjoy most of the stuff old versions of Madden have and more! If you have the version for the PSP, you could play Madden in two ways, the old fashioned way that every game of Madden has, or the new EA Sports Rookie Mode, that you could do every single move you would do in the normal way with just pressing x. If you really love Madden, then this game is for you.
