I've owned every Madden dating back to 2002 and this is the first year I'm not going to buy it. The last 2 years games have sucked with the focus being on new gimmicky features that no one wants. The only real new features that they've ever made that was actually good are playmaker controls and the hit stick. But I did rent Madden 08 from GameFly and I'll be getting it soon.
I've given up on Madden. I've purchased it every year for the past decade. It's not worth $60 every year for what's offered. The new gameplay features they add every year are sometimes useless (QB Vision?). They make slight changes to the gameplay modes, update the graphics slightly, and update the rosters. I don't think these changes are worth $60. i actually think the game's gotten worse since they took Madden's voice out of the game. I'd rather see EA make one game disc, and then release downloadable updates every year. I'd be willing to fork over $20 every year for roster updates and other minor changes that they make you pay $60 a year for.
