 LOTS OF FUN & BANG FOR THE BUCK! a true football fans GEM! Oct 21, 2008
Well, to start out, I have been a "Madden" fan since the early 90's. I am a football fan period!! With that being said. I bought this game cause i did not want another Madden game for my PS3, seeing that i have so many of them for my ps1 & ps2 systems, which i still play. I wanted something different to make the experience fresh for me on the PS3. I also did not want to pay an arm and a leg for another game, you know with gas prices being what they are and all! :) This game was an answr to my prayer! i have no other 2K games to compare it to, so i guess that helps. True enough, it only has old school players to chose from, but i don't have a problem with that seeing these are the players that i grew up watching and made me fall in love with football anyway. ok the overall graphics could be a little better, but with the HD effect, cool sideline and huddle views, oh and my favorite part of all the trash talking, it wont even bother you. as far as gameplay, same as Madden to me. It is a little hard on defense to stop the run, but you wont mind that either when you are on offense. the only reason i gave it 4 stars and not five is because it would have been nice to be able to mix the up to date rosters with the all-pros. But overall i LOVE IT!! IT is hard to put the controller down, and i have not felt like that in years about a football game. BUY IT!!! If you are a real football fan you will love it like i do!!

2K still the best! Sep 05, 2008
Ok, it may not be the NFL because we all know EA and the NFL monopolized the NFL gaming competition. However, on PS3 at 1080 this game is one of the best looking sports games hands down. The play is bone crunching, hard tackles, gang tackles, interactive fans. The sidelines are brimming with all kinds of activity and when you run out of bounds into the sideline, you hit whomever/whatever is there.
Due to NFL license as mentioned above, 2K had to get creative and I think they did an excellent job and creating some really awesome looking stadiums. The only draw back for me as a single player is that the season is not on-going with the same team. Once you win the APF Championship your done and have to create a new season.
I am not much for online sports play. For the price you can pick this game up for it is worth every cent. There is not a football game out as accurate and as detailed as this game. After 20 years you think EA would get it right but Madden 09 is yet another hyped up flop. Anyone that has played the series for any amount of time can hardly disagree.
The new contender will be back breaker and the Euphoria engine. But in 2010, EA's NFL license expires. Let's hope the NFL will not renew this load of garbage and allow fair competition back into the football franchise. If not, I will continue to boycott the NFL as well.

 Good and Bad Jun 24, 2008
It is nice to have a 2K game again. With the NFL license being held exclusively by the Madden people, 2K had to come up with a new idea. Instead of the familiar teams, you have familiar names. 240 former players signed on for this title to use their names and likenesses. The game places them on 3 levels, gold, silver and bronze. Your get to pick 2 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze level players with the rest of the team being filled out by generic players. You can however tell the computer what kind of team you want to put out on the field--big, fast, etc. and the computer will fill in the rest of your team to suit your needs. The graphics are good and the game play is fun, save for the horrible kicking. The game however does not give you many options to work with. After playing with some of my favorite players for a week, I put the game down. I will pick it up now and again, but the thrill of playing with the football all stars has worn off. The game is cheap and certainly worth picking up for a fun game to play. It needs some work if it is going to beat Madden though.
Not bad for the price. Jan 27, 2008
I paid only $9.99 plus $3.99 shipping so this game was not so bad for the price. I just wanted a football game that I could play. This game is kinda boring though because there's no league and you just play against the other team that you pick to play against. You can pick about 11 football players to be on your team that are really good players. Like Joe Montana. After awhile this game gets boring. I just bought it and I'm already bored. It's just fun to play with when you wanna play one on one football.
Affordable and High Fun Factor Jan 18, 2008
No, you can't play with all of the current stars on their current teams, but with the way free agency is these days: no big deal. I wanted to get the most recent installment of Madden as 07 wasn't that great, but 60 bucks! No way! I picked this one up for like 11 bucks and the gameplay is great. Who wouldn't want to play with Steve Young, Roger Craig, and Jerry Rice! Feel free to spend the big bucks on Madden, but I guarantee the fun factor on this one is right up there.
