From Gamespot: "..As the demo began, the producer guiding us through the game jumped directly into the Coach Now mode, which will give you instant action on the field. As with the day-to-day coaching duties that surround the off-season activities, everything you do in an actual game is centered around the clipboard interface. This feature will give you a moment-by-moment recap of your next big decision as coach--be it making a substitution, make adjustments on the field and, of course, calling plays. Madden veterans will feel right at home when calling plays, but there are some important and compelling changes on hand. The interface of available plays organizes your playbook in the standard ways--formation, play type, and so on. The crucial difference is that once you've made your call and send your players out on the field, you'll be able to pause the game and adjust any player in formation on the fly. With its grid effect superimposed over the field, it looks like a more sophisticated version of the player creator in the original game. In addition to adjusting player positions on the field, you can reassign individual players to new assignments, for example new routes for receivers, or new blocking assignments for your linemen..."

Madden Producer Daniel Castorani (D-Cas) has posted the very first Madden 09 blog of the season in the EA Sports Forums . He addresses some of the Peter Moore's previous blogs and provides a good introductory blog in general. " Hi guys,
Even though it's still early, our Madden NFL 09 dev team wants to share a couple of tidbits about the game with you. Enjoy this first blog from D-Cas and feel free to leave comments here in the thread. :)
A New Season is Approaching!
Hello again Madden fans! It’s been over six months since we last did an official blog, but as the NFL Draft approaches the time is right to get a new year kicked off. I’ve read some comments on message boards about us being very silent about the game- and what that could possibly mean. Well allow me to break the silence and assure everyone that the development team here at Tiburon has been hard at work making what I think is shaping up to be the best Madden EVER. I feel like we are past the transitional challenges and ups-and-downs that we experienced in the early years of Next Gen, and that we have built the same type of efficiency and innovation that we had during the PS2/Xbox years. The big difference is now we are dealing with much more powerful hardware, so we can really take football gaming to a whole new level. Needless to say- I’m excited! In the wake of our long silence, I‘d like to take a second to address some of the sentiments I have been reading on message boards and give you guys a brief update:
Are you watering down Madden?!
Most of you have probably read Peter Moore’s blogs where he referenced our desire to make football gaming more approachable and easier for people of all ages and experience levels to play. We at Tiburon couldn’t agree with him more and I think that we have done a great job this year on accomplishing this goal in Madden. HOWEVER- I want to make one thing very clear! Making the game easier to approach does NOT have to compromise the great advanced gameplay experience that we have spent years building. From reading message boards it seems like our core Madden gamers (you guys) have been quick to assume that making the game more accessible means they will lose the depth they love. This is simply not the case! With proper design we can cater to both brand new and the hardest of hardcore users. Think about it… the level of depth and advanced features are the very things that have made Madden what it is today- why would we ever stray away from that? In fact this year we are adding even more depth and hardcore features than ever before AND we are also making a game that your little brother or dad can pick up and enjoy.
When will Next-Gen be “caught up” to Current Gen?! "

From Peter Moore's official blog HERE. AJ says, “My league has been running now since Madden 06. We love being able to draft our teams from scratch and taking them online and playing a full 16 game schedule and playoffs included. Problem is this year there are no stats after the games? Why not Mr. Moore? I ask you to allow us to have the stats of our games, custom teams or not.” Here’s what Dale Jackson, our Executive Producer for Madden NFL told me: “Year after year, the discussion of league play and stat tracking has been a recurring theme in feedback on Madden. Madden NFL 09 will address this feedback directly. Without giving too much away, let’s just say that those who enjoy online stats won’t be disappointed. Based on the amount we see this requested in forums, we’re very excited about our features we have planned here.”
