Definitely picking this thing up.

Pretty much it looks and plays great and there aren't many complaints really.

Been waiting for a great football game and it appears this is definitely it.

Looking great and it is on my to get list.

As for the complaints, I must say, they have done a good job of addressing some of the core issues with the franchise and improved some of the features they have added over the years (superstar, hit stick, COOP play, etc). Big wins and should be great. I am excited about weapons personally. And 60fps? Oh yeah.

But as a Madden baller, let me list some of the irks that get to me, especially after the last 2 years being absolute TRASH. After 3 years of dev time I was expecting more in some areas, and seeing as Xbox gamers were doing some of this stuff I don't see why it shouldn't be in here. No online leagues... still? And while they improved the animation system -- finally some gang tackles and more broken tackles -- the mocap is still years behind 2K and the branching, while welcomed, seems to be jerky and the actual animations don't appear to have much weight (momentum), they instead jerk from one animation and transition into the next. Seeing a WR go up for a catch, get hit, and then morph into an animation that is odd and not in the right direction or right body parts being jerked around still looks poor.

And the announcing is horrible. They bought the ESPN license... for nothing! Just to take it away from 2K -- how trashy.

Anyhow, Madden 2008 will find a place next to my 2005, 2004, and 2003 editions (all the others are packed away). I like the changes, but on the other hand I feel they needed to do even more considering how much they took away for 2 straight years. 2006 and 2007 were some of the worse Maddens ever, worse than the Xbox and PS2 versions. Just adding back in missing features and a couple new twists doesn't gloss over some of the fundamental franchise issues like highlights, game announcers, superbowl rewards/story, online leagues, etc.

Well, I'm not obviously.. I couldn't care less about American Football, just like most Americans I guess couldn't care less about a sport that the rest of the world calls Football..

I wonder how much games like PES, UEFA, and FIFA sell in the US compared to American Football games outside the US? Would be insteresting to know those numbers..

Btw, as a old-skool Ajax fan I'm also happy the whole NFL-Europe thing is over, so the Amsterdam Admirals as they were called are finally gone now.. They were good for nothing imho, only destroying the pitch in the Amsterdam Arena where Ajax has to play their games aswell.. So yeah, bye bye..

Ajax fans owning 'de Kuip' (stadium of our biggest oldtime rivals):

I didn't say American Football sucks, I just said I couldn't care less about it.. And I clicked on this topic because I just wanted to say the Admirals are finally gone out of 'our' Stadium, which I'm obviously happy about, and to say I'm not gonna get Madden 08..

I'm a European but I must admit, I find American football quite an interesting game. I know the basic rules, watched couple games on TV and would consider to give it a try, but I wonder if Madden franchise is accessible to a person like me - who only knows basic rules of the game, or is it like for people who know this game in and out in real life.

Well i find American football easier to watch than Football (ie TV), but I have never seen the point in playing it on a computer, I would sooner actually play the sport and get some excersise at the same time.

Sitting on your ass and playing a game of football surely defeats the object of the sport.. :P

Not really. Football really only gets to be football when you can do the strategy which requires huge amounts of practice time. Its different from most sports that way. I'm not saying other sports don't have strategy, just not to the point where American style football does. Madden allows you to do that strategy which you can't do in any type of pick up game.

And thats where it might not really be helpful to people unfamiliar with football can have problems. While easy in Madden traditionally is so easy you can do whatever you want, it may not be helpful in actually understanding teh game.

Some of the new animation stuff in YouTube quality on EA's site. The GameTrailer's review showed that while gang tackling is an improvement, it still needs a lot of work. Seeing a runner slowed down and grabbed by 2 tacklers and then seeing all the other defenders around... falling down?!... instead of grabbing on and piling on/pushing looked just like normal, which isn't good. So an improvement, but still broken, just less so which is GREAT for gameplay as this was a really bad part of Madden. The blocking looks improved a bit too which is welcome news to me as I love to run.

Not my favorite back, but yes, I have been playing with Seattle since the first Madden. Although I did enjoy playing with Detroit during the Sanders' years. I always thought those Dallas teams were a little unfair -- Emmit + unstoppable line.

Seattle over the last few years has been fun to play with, offensively, for me. A good OL (until last year), a star HB, a solid FB and decent pair of TEs allowed me to really grind the clock... and set up the pass. And although Seattle WRs are not the very best, they were adequate and Hasselbeck was a solid performer.

Personally, and I keep screaming this, they need a "control the clock" button. I hate 5 minute quarters because people feel cheated when you play "real football". I like to run. Ball control is a huge part of the game. A 10 play series can waste an entire 5 minute quarter. People hate that... but it is how the game is played "right".

Having a button to accelerate the clock and tick some time off would be great. Get my play selected and then chomp off 20 seconds really quick. This could justify 10, even 15 minutes, quarters. Then they could include the dynamic of people who go for fast-fast-fast play calling, no huddles, etc their players get more tired, make more mistakes, and are more prone to injuries (as the season progresses). So they can have the short term payoff of some quick strikes, but they also run the risk of their DEF being on the field waaay too long, losing OFF rhythm, and running their guys too much. 30 OFF plays in 1 quarter could kill a lot of linemen!

This dynamic of the series, as stands, allows for a lot of abuse, unrealistic gameplay, and a lot of disgruntled people who say you "cheese" because you run and try to control the clock. Mind you I don't try to run out all 10 minutes of a half -- that is lame due to the constraints -- but I don't have any qualms with an intentional 15 play drive where I eat up 4 or 5 minutes. Of course people don't like you if you do that.

Of course I hate it when people glitch, exploit, and use the broken mechanics of the game to get quick scores instead of playing the game as real football (my current hate in 2005 was the new coverage where you could audible to a line press, but you could rarely pass over the DBs new/better AI, and you would get guys doing nanos at the line and the realistic option, a quick toss over the DBs heads, doesn't work... grrr).

Football is pretty complex though in terms of strategy, and lives/dies on contact and how a game handles it, which games... don't. There probably will never be a perfect NFL game in terms of gameplay due to input limitations and simulation limitations. Madden and 2K both represent good takes on a quality gameplay model to immitate the core values.
