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.

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.

Rating: - Controls need some work
I want to start by saying that the game itself is pretty good, and the Wii-exclusive features (2v2, telestrator, etc) are a definite bonus.
That said, the controls for the Wii are a let down. I have been an avid Madden fan since 1999, and every year, the controls get slightly more complex, but they build upon the previous year's controls. While Madden 08 for Wii has all the new control features, the controls themselves are complex and difficult to learn , and I feel they really take away from the game.
All in all, Madden 08 is a great game , but get it for 360, not Wii. In the future I am hoping to see support for different types of controllers, perhaps GameCube. If we're really lucky, maybe Wii will introduce a modern controller to compliment the classic controller.
