Madden 09 Franchise

[APCegr]

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.

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 .

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

Weird, those coaches are never available for me and even weirder is the fact that Jeff Fisher is always available

I struggle with this game alot and it frustrates the hell out of me. Half the time you throw to an open receiver a defender comes out of nowhere and intercepts the ball. The running game can get really gay too when your line doesn't block and you can't run for more than 40 yards in an entire game.

[John Kasay]

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.

At least they are pretty accurate when it comes to Peppers play in Madden 09. I'll control him for a good portion of the game on defense and never get a sack. Then all of a sudden I may get a sack or two in a row.

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.

Someone should buy my madden 09 for 360.

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.

[CLTPanther]

I have it on the 360, if anyone wants to play, list your id.

[John Fox]

i'm fuging horrible in madden...

[methodtoll]

As embarrassing as this may sound, I have trouble understanding man and zone packages, can someone explain to me how to determine which to use for different situations?
