Has anyone Noticed that Madden 09 gameplay is weaker?

Question

I can pass over the middle easy

I can stuff the run and pass more now

the AI runs out of bounds stupidly now

the modes are dumbed down , like rewind? gimme a break

madden trainer isnt like a game is.. I score all madden., and Im not all madden good

just seems iffy.

Answer 1

yeah ni know it is easier i can just dump a short route to my back all game long and QB sneak all game ofense and defense are easier and i do hat catch up AI it is impossible to keep a lead in the final 2 minutes of a lead under 7 but Madden Moments give you a break i beat them all

Answer 2

Well, a lot of it is fixable...  I think that rush offense "Madden Trainer" is c**p and doesn't make sense, as when you actually play running plays it's a lot harder than the IQ test makes it out to be.  As for your passing game, yeah, up the middle seems a BIT easier, but not amazingly easier.  It also depends on the QB you have, too...  I still can't hit c**p with Pennington (like real life!) but when I play with Favre, I can hit every short pass.

Really, the game has been cut some slack, but that's because of us.  We, the consumer, complained soooo much about the difficulty of the game two years ago, that they've been cutting into the difficulty ever since.

Very frustrating.
