This is my first review, sorry if you don't like it.
Pros:
First off, Madden 09 has Call The Shots. This is a great feature if you are unsure your receiver will be open on the original route, if you want to run a crazy route, or simply want to shorten or extend an original route.
5 on 5 is also a new feature to Madden. It is very fun if you simply love to sack the opposing QB. Although it can be a challenge to score a TD, it's a good thing to do if you want a quick game, and don't have time for a regular exhibition game.
Cons:
A thing I dislike about this game is how easy it is to play. I can rack up 90 points in a game with only 5 minute quarters against teams like the Patriots and Giants. I don't know about you, but I go for more of challenge, and can't seem to find it in the Wii version.
Also, the online gameplay is one thing I dislike as well. I have yet to get pass that 2nd quarter of a game online after about 25 attempts. This has gotten me very annoyed and quit trying online.
All in All, This is a game, if you have not played it yet, I recommend you renting it first, to see if it is right for you.
Sorry if you don't think this is a good review, but hey, it's my first.
