Madden 09 Franchise


APCegr

Recommended Posts

I know this probably will never happen but last night after I finished my 08 Franchise season in Madden I had to go to Owner mode and do some serious overhauling. I lost in the NFC Championship to the stupid Bucs... Yes I do play All-Madden cut me some slack... Anyways this is how it went down:

Fired- John Fox and Trgocrap and Jeff Davidson

Hired- Rex Ryan- Head Coach

Marty Schottenhiemer - Off Coor.

Herm Edwards - Def. Coor.

Released - Jake Delhomme, Hackett, Lucas

Retired- J. Kasay and M. Muhammad

Trade - After Tagging Peppers- Traded to S.D. for Rivers and 1st Round

Signed - C. Bailey, D. Driver and J. Gross

Now if this can only in the real world everything would be a o.k. but I guess ill just live in the fantasy world of madden...

Being shotty is a Defensive coach I will have to disagree with his hire. :lol:

C. Bailey is getting older, should have signed Aso/Dunte Robinson

Like the Driver signing, and te trade with SD would only happen in Madden . :lol:

Very true but having Shotty at Off Coor could help a bit better then Jeff Davidson and maybe in the fantasy world he can help on Def side of ball. But you know, the Rivers/Peppers trade could only happen in madden, since Rivers is about to sign a 100+ million dollar contract his off season.. We can all live in a fantasy world :)

Madden 08 and 09 are absolutely terrible games. I thought 07 was decent... then they just make them worse and worse.

The main problem is the camera view... you cant change it. Apparently I would rather stare at the O-linemen's asses than see my receivers.

Who needs to see CBs or WRs... its not like Im playing quarterback or anything.

The few frustrating games I played of madden 09 and 08 had me getting 200 yards with Rosario and King, because the tightends were the ONLY potential receivers that I could see with this shitty camera view. Screen passes are not even an option, because you cannot see. Why EA would opt to TAKE OUT an option as critical as Camera View beats me, it makes the game unplayable.

Thanks EA sports! Good thing you bought the NFL naming rights and all that jazz so you have no competition. Keep focusing on cheap gimmicks like endzone dances... no need to fix the various glitches that have plagued your franchise since 2002. Oh, and why dont you take away features that have proven to be critical to competitive gameplay while you are at it.

The NFL should have never given Exclusive rights to anyone. I dont see how its good business for anyone. I just play Old Madden games cause any of the new ones suck. I dont like the controls on the PS3 and really Dont like the over all gameplay. They went really complex with in game controls and its a damn game I dont want to have to worry hitting 4 buttons just so I can double team Fitz. Hell I kinda look like Trgo when I play madden now.

I don't have a lot of trouble with Int's in 09. I end up using a lot of 5-10 yard passes with a lot of come backs. I typically use a lot of quick slants and such.

Yeah and if your opponent is in man coverage, Smitty will always be open on those quick routes like the slant and the out routes. The short/medium passing game works quite well for me. Don't hold your breath on the deep ball though.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
