 DIFFERENT YEAR SAME MADDEN August 21, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you love the Madden Franchise then this version you will love because its just the same as 07,06,05,04,03,02 etc. Not much really new here. I think getting the exclusive NFL license has the franchise stalled and in no hurry to change the game. Not that theres anything really wrong with the game. The game is pretty fluid. You can determine how difficult to make it. Its very easy to jump in and play. THe graphics are still very good although they can use a bit of an upgrade by now. With no competition in the market Madden though very good is just the same. Nothing new to really discuss and thats sad.
 Incredibly glitchy August 20, 2007

I have always loved the Madden franchise. Every year there are enough improvements to an already great game that I stay satisfied. Well, there are still some nice improvements to this year's edition. However, I am already finding the game so full of glitches that I have actually become pretty angry. There have been glitches in previous years, but not many of any real consequence. But this one is just bad.
The worst example is when I was halfway through my third season on franchise mode (playing as the Colts), when a game came up between the Falcons and the Saints. I had nothing to do with either team, and I couldn't care less what happened in the game. So, I tried to simulate through it. It failed. No score showed up for the game. I tried simulating the whole week. It failed. I tried simulating the whole season. It failed. I tried playing the game. It failed. I tried using total control simulation. It failed. I turned off my PS2 and loaded the same franchise back up. Same problem. Basically, I am being forced to stop playing with my franchise just when I started getting it shaped up the way I wanted to. VERY annoying.
I have found several other glitches in the game, but I doubt you care to hear about all of them. Basically, it appears that EA put out a completely unfinished product. I wouldn't even mind that much if they put in some ground breaking new features. But the improvements are rather modest, just like in previous years (they did almost nothing to improve franchise mode, which is where they managed to create that nasty glitch!), so there is no justification for the massive problems with the game. If you even bother to buy this game, make sure to wait a few months so they can try to fix at least a few of the more serious errors.
Another year, another Madden August 19, 2007

That train's never late. Like clockwork, Madden is back for another go around of NFL action, and thankfully, this year's edition manages to change a few things up to set it apart from it's predecessors. Madden NFL 08 may signal the franchise showing it's age on the PS2 (the graphics engine is more dated than ever), yet there are a nice number of gameplay tweaks and improvements to distract from this drawback. The players themselves control and act more realistically this time around as well, which is really saying something considering the game still suffers from the cardboard AI opponents the longer you play the game. Along with some frame rate issues, the flaws of Madden NFL 08 are outshined by it's positives. Online play is a breeze to set up, and there's still plenty of nuances and modes of play for armchair quarterbacks to enjoy. Not to mention that Madden is still the only NFL licensed video game around, so it's not like you really have much choice as it is (thanks EA). All in all, Madden NFL 08 is a solid entry in EA's big time cash cow franchise, and even in the late life of the PS2, Madden still comes out on top.
Same Great Game, But With Few Improvements August 14, 2007

I have purchased all the Madden games over the past dozen years or so, and each year the game saw major improvements. That is, until Madden 2006 came out. That game was basically a re-hashing of madden 2005 with roster updates, that is about it. Madden 2007 was just as bad, the same exact game. And to make matters worse, all of the rookies were not in last year's game, so you had to create them. There were numerous glitches with rosters and stats in the franchise mode as well. However, the game was worth the price if you love football and enjoy the gameplay itself. And that is what makes the new Madden 2008 a bit better than previous years, although not by much. I am finding it more complicated to run the ball without using a proper blocking scheme, which was not evident in past Maddes games. Also, when stopping the run against the AI, you can read their blocking scheme and make the adjustments on the fly much easier than before. On Madden 2006, Michael Vick ran for 350 yards per game and nobody could stop him. He would break five tackles by pro-bowl defenders twice his size. But this seems to be corrected to an extent here. The dynasty mode and practice modes have been tweaked some, but I wouldn't call it an all out improvement from past years. In closing, this game is perfect if you loved last year's game. But for those of you who still play Madden 2007 and enjoy it, don't rush out today and buy this one thinking it is 100% improvement. It is still the best game on earth, but it is also a game that stays nearly the same each year, too.
 The Best Madden Yet!! August 14, 2007
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
The graphics are the exact same, the sound bites are the exact same, the plays are the exact same.
Now, the good news. The player control is amazing! If your a gamer at Madden, you'll notice it right away. I play online all year round, this year should be great! The players are proportionately sized, meaning Ben Roethlisberger is way bigger then Willie Parker, but he is smaller then the huge offensive lineman. They gave outstanding players their unique skill, like blazing fast speed, power and route running!
Also, there is a new training mode, its something new to mess with!
If you have Madden '07, scrap it, the new one rocks!
