Comments on: Thursday night notes (Or how bad is the Madden 09 demo) http://www.sportsgamerblog.com/2008/07/31/thursday-night-notes-or-how-bad-is-the-madden-09-demo/ Two guys who love Sports Gaming on their PCs and consoles rant and rave about various stuff.

Apparently, most everything EA does wrong yearly on Madden has been done correctly in NFL Head Coach. Sounds a lot like Frontpage Sports Football revisited which is a good thing. BTW, looks like the best place to go to get well these days in MLB is...Atlanta. :) Glen, you might want to check out Abner’s blog.

Its really sad that year in and year out they pull the wool over the eyes of these pimply faced teenagers by blowing smoke up their asses with false promises and one gimmick after another. Whats even sadder is the fact they have the NFL in their money filled back pocket. BTW, the equation was.... EA + Madden = CRAP I got grilled by an Operation Sports moderator for a simple equation refering to Madden and the way EA promotes the game every year.

Looks like I need to create a new team in APF for this upcoming season. I was planning on getting Madden this year, but after the demo, not so much.

No CPU sliders in Madden either. No football games for me this year I guess. IS there still hope for NHL 09? Ha! No CPU sliders in Madden either.
