Madden NFL 09
Madden NFL 09, développé par EA Orlando et édité par EA Sports, est sorti le 12 août 2008 sur PlayStation 3 et Xbox 360. Ce titre de simulation sportive permet de jouer et de gérer des matchs de football américain opposant les équipes réelles de la NFL avec les effectifs à jour de 2009. La presse a salué la réalisation visuelle du jeu, le site 1UP relevant notamment les terrains boueux, les bancs de touche animés et la variété des physiques des joueurs comme signes que le titre atteignait enfin les ambitions next-gen d'EA, tandis que G4 TV a apprécié la nouvelle équipe de commentateurs, les ralentis Backtrack, la bande-son et les graphismes améliorés, y voyant un surcroît de réalisme justifiant l'achat. L'agrégat de notes du jeu s'établit à 77,50.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The mud-caked Slop Bowls, bustling sidelines, and significantly varied player physiques mean that Madden 09's finally lived up to EA's next-gen target video from three years ago that -- for three years -- looked way better than the games themselves. »
« The new commentating team, Backtrack replays, soundtrack, and improved graphics really packs that extra punch of realism making this game a must buy. »
« The game will satisfy the appetite of both casual and hardcore football fans and its mixes those two worlds together very well. »
« Everything from the visuals, audio, and presentation have been bumped up a notch to a level that would make any fan who has turned their heads for the last 3 years take notice. »
« The most accurate description of American Football on a videogame console that I’ve ever seen. »
« This 20th version of Madden NFL will sure be known as one of best of the series and will sure keep the whole Madden Nation happy…until next year of course. Expectations will continue to grow. »

« This game BLOWS. Madden 08 was better honestly. It's just not worth piking up...Madden 08 is! »
« If you like Madden 09 you're a **** disgrace. It's everything the absolute masterpiece Madden 08 did but infinitely inferior. »
« DO NOT BUY MADDEN 09!!! I would much rather you play any game from the Madden 08 series. Some say the Xbox 360 version is the best, but any version will Madden your 08. »
« I'm Australian and hence not really into NFL. I tried this out just out of curiosity but didn't get it, for fans of the sport the score would be much higher and i would recommend it. »
« Ok this game has absoulotly nothing to say for its self Id rather have the first madden game ever. The first place this game goes wrong is when I boot up play now mode excited to play my first madden game on the 360 and I her chris conlinsworth. I hate this guy and this is the worst decesion EA has made with madden so far. EA tiburn had alot of competion this year also because NCAA 09 turned out great. Id rather spend less money to buy the game on my psp and lose the commentary of chris and be a pro mode. The franchise mode also stinks and I can go online with my psp. EA DID NOT GET THE JOB DONE THIS YEAR. »
