Madden 2009 Xbox 360 Game

With a two decade career, the Madden NFL series has lasted longer than the careers of most players but it still scores a touchdown when it comes to putting you on the gridiron. The new "Madden IQ" system adapts to your skill level based on your performance in the Virtual Trainer and adjusts the game's difficulty. The EA Sports Backtrack replay feature analyzes the plays in a TV-style telestrator format, helping you improve. If you blow a crucial play, use the Rewind feature to do it over. Two players with differing skill levels can compete on an even playing field with handicapping.

Completely revamped graphics are highlighted by improved stadium models and details including realistic weather effects that'll see the turf turned to mud during scrimmages in the rain – which will affect your players' performance. Television-style openings, booth commentators and HD quality video, along with improved player models will have you believing that this is Monday Night Football. Take total control of every aspect of your team with Franchise mode, or just the running back using an improved animation system that'll have you breaking tackles on your way down the field. Return missed field goals, set audibles and even choose your style of celebrating a touchdown.

For the first time, online league play is available with up to 32 players taking part in a NFL season including an NFL draft and making trades among their teams. Capture your triumphant moments and create your own highlight reel to share on EA Sports World.
