EA Sports - Madden 08 Reviews

Maden 08 for Wii is totally awesome. It is like your watching a real football game. The players look so real. They also installed new features like play online, or practice tutorials, and more. It may be a little expensive but its totally worth it. I play this game with my family and friends and they really enjoy it. I can't wait till Maden 10 will get released.

                     If you understand how to play and what to do. You will always win without giving the other team one touchdown. Now with the new party mode you can play with your family and friends. There...

Madden 08 honestly disappointed me. I thought it would be a great game when I got it for Christmas last year, but it sucked.

For one, John Madden is barely featured. What's the point of namin' the game after someone if they aren't even in it?

Secondly, special powers? Who the heck came up with that idea? OK, I admit it's a good idea, but it's used badly in this game.

Third of all, the graphics. I think they overdid it a bit. Even though the players look like their real-life counterparts, created characters only have a few facial options.

And lastly, the players are like robots. Even when you play on...

Madden 08 was a weclome upgrade from the previous years try with improved fluidity of player movement as well as an improved user interface with the passing game.  Everything else was fairly similar so I suppose I will hit on a few of my complaints--

 1) Far too many turnovers, INTs and fumbles were very inflated

 2) In certain situations it becomes nearly impossible to stop a 3 yard run, even if you stack the box with eight players

 3) EA very much needs to improve its online system--they could take a lesson from 2ksports setup.

If you have 2007's version on any platform, I'd simply wait it out and see if 2009 makes major leaps and bounds. Otherwise you're paying a hefty price for a roster update really. Some nice new additions but nothing worth the money. It is definitely the Madden franchise, which is nice. Repeating myself though, 2007 was just as good so save your money.
