Madden 08 brickwall tackles are over Gamespot: It's easy to see how much Madden 09 has improved from last year's game in and of itself. Better lighting, grass textures, and improved player models are all immediately noticeable, and the new camera angles work well with the developer's motto of bringing you a football experience that is "beyond broadcast." The difference between Madden 09 and Madden 08 was particularly obvious to us at the Madden Rookie event. After spending some time with the preview build of Madden 09, we headed back out to the rookie tournament, which was playing last year's game, and the visual differences were stark. Everything in Madden 08, from the minimal shadows on the field, to the relatively stilted running animations and the grass textures that looked more like Astroturf, made the game look practically ancient by comparison.
