aight guys, i really felt robbed this year of madden 08. but still i have no choice because i only own a ps3 and wii, and i wouldnt like madden 08 played for the wii even though it's rated higher. mannn 30 FPS so kills it, reaction times during the game is slow and choppy on kick-offs. and yeah the TURNOVERS are the huge turn off for me. 3 INTS in 1 QUARTER? WTF? then like 3 FUMBLES next quarter, this is unheard off. smh

I don't notice the 30 FPS much, but I do agree the picks are annoying

I've played several games on All-Pro(to feel the game out before I play on my normal All-Madden difficulty), and the most INTs I threw was 2 in an entire game(of course I was kinda using Drew Brees). My advice: NEVER throw at a double covered reciever. Unless he has them both completely beat. And even then there's no guarantee you won't get picked off. Also, pump faking actually works in this game, don't be afraid to use ot. And most important, precision passing is a quaterback's best friend.

Now as for fumbling,I've fumbled a couple times, but I find that I can force as many fumbles as the computer does so it's all gravy for me. Also, if you've got some reciever(even Chad Johnson) and you see Sean Taylor, Troy Polamalu, or John Lynch bearing down on you, use reciever slide/dive and get to the ground(assuming it isn't late in the game).

not only that man. like ur on defense right, then CPU is on offense, the "new improved AI" offense like throws it in the middle of the field and like i wasnt even controlling that linebacker and everybody picks it off on my defense. without me even trying, or putting any effort. wow man its crazy.

Usually there in settings sliders to take care of problems like these for Madden and NCAA games. It basically lets you tweak the AI to your liking. One of IGNs biggest complaints was the number of touchbacks on kickoffs and I know there is a slider for kick distance in NCAA. You should check those out and see if you can eliminate some of your problems.

it looks fine, 60fps would be great but that'll be in madden 09 and i'll buy that game too, the game still looks and plays really nicely and is worth gettin on the ps3
