Ah, sports games. You do not get enough love from us. But here's a freebie! Madden NFL 09 lands in stores this August and, so far, looks like a solid entry into the franchise. The latest trailer, now available on the Xbox Live Markeplace, focuses on the in-game celebration and frustration animations. Shockingly given permission for celebrations by the (usually) tight-laced NFL, EA Sports shows off a a handful of new moves you can expect to see in the endzone. Let's hope EA consulted with Ocho Cinco for the sake of realism (Sorry, maybe three of you know what I'm even talking about.)

Lebron will not become a NJ Net because the Nets plan to move to Brooklyn in the 10-11 season.

Eh, I don't think he'll be traded. The Bengals seem to be pretty stubborn on this one. On a more related note, I like the new celebration animations.

u would never get fair value for trading Ocho Cinco! U have to keep him! He's a top 5 receiver in the NFL!

Madden looks fantastic this year, I'm really hoping we can get a demo before the game ships.

I can't wait to try some of these celebrations out. And I guess I'm one of the 3 who understand what you are talking about.

I love how this site rarely ever mentions anything sports related. I'm a huge sports fan, and a pretty big sports videogame fan. It's nice to see a little bit of news, especially good news regarding the Madden franchise, which has pretty much been under par since the 360 was born. Thanks for the update, and no I don't expect you guys, nor do I really want you guys to delve into the sports genre any more than you do, especially since sports games don't really re-invent themselves too much to need to be covered.
PS: Keep up with the Gears updates as often as possible though!

Xav, unlike your scrawny co-workers (Dustin, you really need to get out more. You're so pale you make my irish-a** look black) there are people here interested in sports games. Probably more than 3 even. Thanks for the update - please don't forget about the new hockey games this fall.

EA Sports, Busta Rhymes, and Linkin Park. That's a lot of suck in one package right there.

sorry ive never been good at detecting textual sarcasm so im asking: your joking right?
anyway, chad will not be traded, no way can they afford an 8 million salary cap hit. he wont sit the season either since he gets paid to play. he will complain until his contract expires and they boot him or until the defense improves which im hoping under zimmer will come first.

Who cares. Madden sucks! It still pisses me off that they got an exclusive license. That's one way to beat a superior game like the 2k series. Another way would have been to actually make a good game. Oh well...I guess this way was easier. Too bad fans of both series lose out.
