Madden 2009 Release Date

The Madden 2009 release date is something that is much-anticipated for video game and NFL Football fans across the entire country. The Madden 2009 release date is considered a national holiday by some people as ridiculous as that may sound, as many fans of the NFL and Madden 2009 in general decide to take the day off of work and/or school if applicable so that they can get their Madden 2009 dynasty going or to just play the game with friends.

The Madden 2009 release date is almost like the unofficial start of the NFL season. Here, fans of NFL teams can see what their favorite players are rated and how their teams stack up going into the season. It's like buying an NFL preview magazine almost only in digital form and one that you can mess around with and shape to your own desires.

The Madden 2009 release date is August 12th, 2009, and the game will be available on multiple platforms. The Madden 2009 release date will bring the Madden franchise's latest offering to the XBox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Nintendo Wii, Sony PSP, and Nintendo DS platforms. A special 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition of the Madden 2009 game will also be available for purchase on EA Sports' Web site or in stores such as Best Buy and Circuit City for example.

The Collector's Edition of Madden 2009 features the full version of NFL Head Coach 2009 as well. The first NFL Head Coach game sold decently but was not well-received by most fans of the Madden series.

New features fans will discover on the Madden 2009 release date include new EA Sports BackTrack and Rewind features for replay, a new network-inspired Beyond Broadcast Presentation including in-booth color and play -by-play, and the big feature, online leagues with up to 32 teams featuring detailed stats tracking and flex scheduling so players can make sure they don't miss any games in the course of a Madden 2009 season.

The Madden 2009 release date usually includes a midnight sale at many locations such as Game Stop or other popular video game stores, as eager Madden 2009 players line up to get their hands on a copy of the game.
