EA SPORTS BackTrack and the
Virtual Training Center Play Key Role in the First Sports Game That Adapts to
You
Within the 85 plus new features and
enhancements in Madden NFL 09, EA SPORTS BackTrack and the Virtual Training
Center allow the gamer to have a unique gameplay experience each time they load
up the game. Both Madden NFL veterans and casual gamers new to the franchise can
utilize these two features to be competitive in Madden NFL 09 and also improve
their overall football knowledge, regardless of their initial skill level.
The Virtual Training Center is a new
interactive tutorial mode, set in a holographic environment that aims at
teaching gamers fundamental concepts about football strategy and how to use the
controls in quick, fun and stylized drills. After players complete these drills,
a Madden IQ score is given, and their “My Skills” difficulty settings are
automatically set based on their strengths and weaknesses. Throughout their
Madden NFL career, the all-new Adaptive Difficulty Engine will continually
tailor the difficulty settings as the gamers’ Madden IQ score evolves.
