Madden NFL 09 is a fun video game that lets you play American football. It's all about the National Football League (NFL). The game was made by EA Tiburon and published by EA Sports. Famous New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre is featured on the game's cover.

Game Features and Commentary

This game came out in 2008 and was available on many different game consoles. These included the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Xbox.

Who Are the Commentators?

In the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS versions of the game, you'll hear Tom Hammond doing the play-by-play. Cris Collinsworth provides the color commentary. They took over from Al Michaels and John Madden.

However, if you played on the Wii, PlayStation 2, or PSP, you would still hear Al Michaels and John Madden.

Madden's Role in the Game

Even if John Madden wasn't doing commentary on some versions, he still helped in the game. He guided players on how to improve their "Madden IQ." This feature helped you understand the game better. John Madden also appeared as a Mii character in the Wii version. He would suggest plays for you to run during the game.

ESPN Connections

Because EA Sports works with ESPN, the game also had special connections. These connections allowed for tie-ins with different ESPN sports shows.
