Madden Mondays: EA Sports Rewind = Do Over!

By | May 19, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

If you have played Madden before at all, I’m sure you’ve been in a game, 30 seconds left, driving down the field for the score, and you throw an interception, or you fumble for the first time all game. You think to yourself, I wish I could do that play again. Now you can with EA SPORTS REWIND, a new feature which will allow gamers to literally put a play in reverse and replay a down. It can be used to replay a down that you missed a pass or threw a pick, or one that your opponent just had a huge 75 yard run. Just click the REWIND button when a play ends, and watch your players reverse track back to the line of scrimmage.
Before the game begins, both players may select how many rewinds to be used during each game, (from 0, 1, 3, 5, or unlimited), and they are not available in online games (thankfully). There may be a broken friendship or two with this game, and hopefully no one will try to use the unlimited amount, as it would ruin the game.
Madden NFL 09 hits August 12th for the Xbox 360, including the 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition.

    Wow, that is a cool feature!

    How you do you rewind? I've been playing all day and don't see it???

    Wow, that is a cool feature!

    Eh, I don't like this feature at all. I mean, football games are supposed to be like that….missed moments, missed chances, and "what if's". Just like in real life football, I'm sure every player has one of those moments in their mind, but they'll never get that chance to go back and do it over. So why should we start now?

    Yea…fully agree with you on this. I guess EA is just trying to show that not every sports game they release is a rehash of last year's game…lol

    That's pretty sweet. I guess if you used the unlimited one, you could absolutely SLAUGHTER the other team…

    I'm considering buying Madden 09 as this rewind feature looks quite interesting. People may rip EA off but FIFA 08's Be A Pro Mode was really good and the celebration feature in UEFA Euro 2008 is also quite good. Not trying to be a fanboy or anything but I haven't seen many new features in PES recently!

    I guess EA had to do something different in Madden since it hasn't changed much of anything in the last few years. Neat idea, only the unlimited part seems pretty stupid since your opponent would just constantly erase every good play or even any play you make, which in turn would defeat the purpose of even making it a football game at all.

    I like this :)
    Now I have to decide between Madden 09 and Too Human

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/knight0fkh29471 knight0fkh29471

    Eh, I'd go with Too Human…that's just my opinion though. I mean, this country has technology that has sent people to the moon and you mean to tell me that they can't think of anything better than to put a rewind feature in a football game…? Please…

    I think EA is trying to cater to the casual gamers this time around and this is just their sad attempt of doing so

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/knight0fkh29471 knight0fkh29471

    After a while, there's only so much you can do with a football game without it becoming completely obsurd. But, then again, if they don't do something new with each game they'll be criticized for that, and if they do something new…they'll get criticized for that as well. But I think there's a difference between putting something in a game because it's cool rather than putting something in a game just because they need something new. This rewind feature seems to be something they put in there just because.
