Let’s face it: football can be a complicated sport, especially if you’re not too familiar with the game’s intricacies. That said, some work has been done in making the game more accessible to a larger audience.
Just like FIFA 09 isn’t that much different from FIFA 08, don’t expect a radically different game to come in Madden NFL 09. Like many other EA sports franchises, Madden NFL 09 offers little variation compared to previous Madden games. However, some repetition remains, and this might leave some players with a sense of deja vu, especially if you’ve played another entry in the franchise. The twentieth entry in the Madden series, Madden NFL 09 includes some welcome quality of life improvements, alongside some revamped visuals. This year, EA Tiburon, a subdivision located in Florida, is behind the game’s development. EA Games has a monopoly when it comes to realistic sports titles, and NFL 09 isn’t any different. Football Idiot finally has a brand new Madden title to tinker with.The undisputed king of football returns with Madden NFL 09, including the rosters and stats of every player for the 2009 season. EA called an audible by bringing Madden 19 to the PC. “We want their sports games on PCs.” His wish was granted this year.

Or, you can do the FF Mod and not have to pay a cent after you've bought Madden 08 once,” Beich says. Because, you know $50, $60 dollars a year for the new edition that comes out every year. Why spend years updating a bad game when better versions are available? For some, it’s an issue of money. Madden has played (relatively) the same since it went 3D. They also don’t have modern counterparts in terms of gameplay. “Old sports titles like NHL 94, NBA Jam, and Tecmo Super Bowl have dedicated online fanbases too, but those games are considered classics. It's not like NHL 94 is being called a perfect game,” Beich says. Screenshot courtesy RevanFan.“To be honest, it's really not that special of a game. The fact that Madden 08 isn’t a great game doesn’t help either. Madden 08 is 11-years old and – despite Football Idiot’s best efforts – the game shows its age. The constant rule changes are a part of the community’s biggest struggle. “Again, no one is getting paid for any of this stuff, this is labor of love kind of stuff,” he says. It’s fitting that his role in Football Idiot is similar. Calhoun’s day job is fixing computer problems for others.

I had five different things I had to code in there, and none of that was very easy,” Calhoun says. “Every year I have to be like, ‘Ugggh, all right, gotta go fix this.’ With last year was the kickoffs. From a modding standpoint, this is a pain. Calhoun’s other responsibility is keeping the game’s rules current. We don't have any access to source code,” Calhoun tells me.

“Any of the Madden series is not mod friendly. Modding superhero Calhoupe – whose secret identity is mild-mannered computer repairman Peter Calhoun – saved Football Idiot with his modding prowess and a program he created.

“After a Windows 10 update, receiving a penalty would crash the game. I don't think we'd have so much, so many amazing mods, if it weren't for the time that EA abandoned the game on the PC.” “We just didn't have anything else on the PC.
“During the 11 year gap, we figured some things out in that time,” Beich says. The only thing missing is Carrie Underwood singing the catchy pre-game intro. These range from ESPN's Monday Night Football to NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Another highlight are the authentic broadcast features the modders included, something Madden 19 doesn’t have.

The uniforms are so detailed that the thickness of the stripes on the pant legs is accurate (for those of you who were worried). With the assistance of user 1312ohelet, RevanFan even replicated all 85 of the uniforms the franchise has worn.
I tried to get to know each team as well as I could,” RevanFan says. I looked up their stats to sort of figure out how they played. I tried to figure out what each player looked like. I looked through old media guides from the 1960s. “I did tons and tons of research for days and weeks and months, trying to figure out exactly who was on each team each season. His Cowboys project is so detailed and meticulously researched that it must rank as one of the most impressive modding feats ever achieved. “RevanFan didn’t simply re-create the rosters and call it a day.
