After seeing the game for the first time at EA Canada's press event last week, we could tell right away that Madden NFL 09 had improved visually over last year's edition. To help show this, PSU.com decided we'd provide a side-by-side screenshot comparison of last year's Madden NFL 08 vs. the new Madden NFL 09.
To begin, notice that faces have been enhanced to fit NFL counterparts better, as well as jersey and arm muscles have been modified to look more realistic. Improved stadium and player self-shadow casting has been added, in addition to better field effects such as fuller precipitation, footprints in the snow, and better looking field grass.
Other improvements that would need to be seen in motion include more animations, now in 60fps for PS3, and better camera presentation. Take a look at the screenshots below and decide for yourself on how much Madden has changed. Click on the screenshots to view larger versions.

Hey Bonham, you're very optimistic! There is no such thing as a good Madden game. It's all about gameplay, graphics might be all right but it's about gameplay and realism and Madden and EA lack both. Better luck with Madden 10, maybe! SonyJunkie has no taste whatsoever!

I think the '09 version looks amazing, so much better than the '08 version. I have no idea what you guys are looking at. You are just bashing the game cause its EA. Everyone hates EA, but come on, this looks good. And from what ive heard from the PSu article, its sounds pretty good to me. Ive always like Madden games, never had a problem with them. Even '08 was good for me.
