Madden NFL 09 set to hike August 12th

Its release comes every Fall and we know die-hard Madden fanboys sit on the edge of their leather sofas in anticipation for the announcement of the game's official release date. So, here it is. This August 12th, Madden NFL 09 will tackle North American retailers in two flavors. The standard edition and a special Madden NFL 09 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition that comes packed with full versions of both Madden NFL 09 and NFL Head Coach 09 as well as some exclusive video clips, blah, blah, blah. Next up ... waiting to see which player will be treated to Madden's box art curse. So exciting!

Caption: John Madden weeps at the announcement of Brett Favre's retirement.

Don't you just want to give the guy a big hug?

This is the only way Head Coach was going to sell

What about the special Madden NFL 09 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition that comes packed with vials of John Madden's sweat and chocolate-trail undies? Seems like a missed opportunity.

Wow, is it just me or does he look like The Blob from the X-Men comics there?

I wonder if there will be any add-ons? Oh yeah...just one...like every year. If they want to make a good football game, they need to start adding more content so the game doesn't feel like last years.

@3

you are so right, they have balls even making a sequel to the original if you ask me. The real question now is how much will they charge you for both games. If the price is right I may get a collectors edition for once, who knows they may even make the head coach interesting this time.

If it was up to me I would axe head coach as a stand alone game and make it a feature in Madden.
