MADDEN 09 Master Thread MERGED x 15 (renamed too lol)

It comes out in ten days?? Damn, I didn't know that.

 

It has to be the result of a modded 360.

 

that sucks. i want it now too.

 

i want to mod mine i think...just don't know if i can figure it out...

you need to have a certain sata chipset to do the firmware update, and if you dont' you can buy a pci one, but...just seems like a pain ...free games sure are tempting though

 

Yes, the Xbox 360 version is out on the torrent sites already.

 

Pirates always strike a week early. And then you have the occasional idiot store clerk who can't read the "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL" notice on the boxes.

 

To be clear, the ACTUAL game has not leaked yet (a working version at least)...

 

i stand corrected... Downloading.

 

We'll be waiting for a review.

 

Will it be as good as this?

Mor, can you take a look at franchise mode and give us a heads up about the draft? ie. how you scout players, do DE, QB make up the top 10 picks, etc...

It would be very appreciated!

 

Which Fins uniforms are in the game? Also does the weather affect gameplay like in APF?

 

they do have the all whites i do know that

 

cant believe I used to play that...wow those games sucked bad too (madden 64 is a different story).

 

check out that sweet *** music!!!

 

so do you have to have a modded xbox to download games? and if you do mod it, does that mean your cant play live?

 

Yeah but if MS catches you then your banned from live, so its risky.

 

yea thats what i was worried about.

 

I'm sure there are ways around it though. The mor could help I'm sure.

 

As long as your games are stealth patched properly, Microsoft can't tell if you're using a burned copy or a real one. Newer firmware hacks won't even let you boot games that have bad stealth patches. It's a pretty reliable system.

 

mor how did you determine which sata chipset your pc had? did you have to buy the pci one so you could flash?

 

I got the PCI slot

 

Mor I think I've heard you say before that a PS3 was near impossible to mod but I'm not sure. So is it possible?

 

The PS3 is easier to hack up than the 360... The trick is, Blu-Rays are very expensive and burners are generally in the upper hundreds still. So they're looking for ways to play Blu-Rays off the HD. As of now, there's no way to play Blu-Rays off the PS3 HD. If you have a Blu-Ray burner, then the PS3 is simplest thing on earth to mod.

Games designed to play on the HD (Warhawk, Gran Turismo, or any DL game), are easily downloadable and playable.

 

I have a blu-ray burner(came with a computer) and a ps3

 

I could have sworn that in a thread you said you never modded your PS3 because of the difficulty....apparently not.

Anyway its still pretty difficult for us poor people to mod a PS3, but thanks for the info. mor.

However if I am understanding this right you are saying downloadable PS3 games are relatively easy to mod (for play)?

 

Maybe i was talking about the difficulty of playing full games (meaning burned Blu-Rays) due to how much it all costs.

 

Good stuff

blank Blu-Rays (single-layered) usually run from $10-$30 per disc.

 

Oh at the end of your post I thought you switched to talking about DL games for that last sentence. My bad.

 

Downloadable games are simple, and worl perfectly.

 

Some quick notes on Madden09:

- The Dolphins are terrible (surprise surprise) and rated at 67

- I like the Madden IQ difficulty setting. It really does seem to work and provide a challenge to you as you get better and play more. You can see it update itself (to get easier or harder in any given category) everytime you play.

- It looks very good. Finally a real graphical fix.

- You can play Madden 93 in it (with updated rosters -- Which means the Dolphins still suck).

- NFL Head Coach is nowhere to be found (that I can see), and I do have the collector's edition.

- The first scenario listed in the "Madden Moments" mode is last year's Phins VS Ravens game and it's called "Phins get a Win"

 

Thanks for the quick review.

 

God bless them.

 

Thanks mor

 

mor how big is the file? it would probably take me days to download that

 

I've played quite a few games, a lot of Superstar mode. Tonight I'll focus on Franchise
