Stick with Madden 2007
You may by now have heard that EA has killed Madden for the PC, and you are looking to buy a copy before it goes completely extinct. I'll keep this short and mildly enraged- Madden 2008 is the same program, but somehow with MORE bugs than 2007. How they did that I don't know. They clearly never cared about the PC game. The same stupid bugs appeared year after year, like a department store Santa with syphillus. But I bought both programs and compared them and Madden 2008 is now in the garbage.
For what it's worth.
Perennially broken franchise mode
I just quickly want to agree with another reviewer who criticized the broken player progression model in Madden's franchise mode. In reality, players do not improve because they have big games statistically. They have big games because they have improved. Until EA reverses this fundamentally flawed concept, their franchise mode will never work right long-term. PlLayer progression should be based on 3 things: starting playing time, coaching quality, and a third unmodifiable category of "aptitude" or "intelligence". But it's not likely EA will ever see the light on this issue, the same way they won't fix the salary cap, roster glitches, on and on. It's amazing that they can let the same old problems fester for so long...amazing that is, until you realize that they just don't care any more.
I'm addicted to Madden Football
I buy the new version of Madden for PC just about every year. I wish they would expand/ enhance the scouting drills for the draft, but I have greatly enjoyed this game, as always. It's th only way I can get my favorite team to win the Super Bowl.
Almost Too Late To Be Great
This is a great game if youre not prepared to wait until August of 08 or are interested in single player mode. The online capabilities may be out of question after this summer is over but the gameplay and graphics are phenominal. I totally recommend this game to all football lovers. The price is definitely worth the most rewarding football gaming franchises in history.
The best madden I played in years!!!!!
I haven't played Madden football games since the late 1990's. But Madden 08 is the best football game I have ever played. You can play teams in retro Jersey and the soundtrack is very nice too. This version of Madden had improved than the other madden I had played in the past. I give this game 5 Stars; It is just like playing a real football game on your computer.!!!!!!!!!!
