The new interaction
I just started playing this game and its alot of fun. I like it because you can actually pretend that you are throwing, swatting and tackling your opponent with the wii controller than you would with a regular controller. The problem with this is that sometimes when you pass the ball, it dont necessarily always go to the person that you want it to go to and it takes some getting use to with the wii controller than any other controller.

Amazin game
i bought this game a year ago. i update all the rosters too. it also has brett favre so you can move him to the jets. in 09, there aint no favre.
to me, there is no reason to by 09. just a waste of 50 bucks. love the minigames. alright graphics. get this instead of wasting your money on madden 09 "all play". there is actually "all play in 08 too. its just its called familly play.

Active
If you are looking for this game to be like the other Maddens you will be suprised. Couch potatos will NOT like this one as you will be active.
