Its available both in SD and HD if anyone is interested... its mainly a graphical comparison of 08 to 09 as an FYI because its a big download if you want the HD version(152mb) http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/16593/Madden-NFL-09-Trailer/
Long time to load for me. It also really only shows the graphics update they have done, nothing about gameplay. However, one thing that caught my eye is at the end, the tagline says "the first game that adapts to YOU." Does anyone know what they mean by that? Does it mean that if you run certain plays and formations, the playbook prioritizes itself? If so, that would be kind of cool. Does it mean that tendencies are followed? (i.e. running more to the left than the right, shotgun formations on third down, etc.) and thus defenses are than reactionary to that? Just curious.
No they are talking about a new mode they introduced to set difficulty level. It runs a series of test on you running / passing etc.. and sets the difficulty accordingly. They also added rewind ability for plays basically a do over.
Okay...that whole video showcased visual differences. How about gameplay? I could give a rat's *** if they make it prettier.
