Forums - Nintendo - Madden 09 will be a huge hit

I'm actually fairly pissed off at Madden 2009.

I was playing as the Cowboys against the Giants at All-Madden difficulty. There was 1 second left, I was down by 2, and I was on the 4.

I called a time out, the action froze, and the camera just started moving around the field. I couldn't bring up a pause menu and nothing was happening. I could still bring up the XBL blade by pressing the XBox button but the game was frozen (I let it sit there for 10 minutes and even tried disconnecting and reconnecting the controller).

so yeah, fuck Madden. I sold NCAA 09 because that version was just shitty and then this crap starts happening. I'm usually a supporter of the EA Sports games but the last two years have just been so shitty.

Interesting, but I'm not sure that bug will effect Madden All Play for Wii's sales that much :)



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Oh and can anyone tell me is there an option for turning replay on? I know there is an replay option, but i would like it to trigger itself. I've got a mixed opinion about Celebrations, bost is quite a nice option and fun but if you have to waggle a lot in the game it gets a bit boring

  1. Stop trolling (you can troll posts and you can troll users), I'm sick of hearing about that.  Consider this your first and only warning.
  2. You would have every right to bitch if it were about the same model but it wasn't so just stop it.

I am PSWii I went with the PS3 version... But for 2010 I will get the Wii version to vary things up a bit.

Madden 09 Wii is having great sales. It should reach 1 million over CMAS and coast into about 1.5 million by next Madden (the good sales might convice EA to make it even better, thus the reason I went with PS3 version this year.)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I'm surprised by the jump in sales. I mean, I knew it would happen eventually but...wow, did anyone expect this so suddenly?

as in jump from the previous year, then yes I expected it. 08 sucked compared to 07 from what I understand. Also, people typically skip a year of madden, so the all new features, plus skip a year from at least a good madden and you get some really good sales.

Add to all that an extra 5m in hardware (as a note, I'm guessing the change between years), and it actually seems like a really small jump.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
