Maybe its because I played 07 on PS2 and got this one for my 360. I've been waiting for this game, and I guess since the controls are horrible for the 360 i'm sitting here disappointed.

Anyone else feel the same way or am I the only one?

i used to be an avid player from the start. I'm talking genesis to ps1 and then ps2. Other than the first couple years on the ps1 when NFL gameday was the far superior game, i absolutely loved madden. Especially during the ps2 games, they were all great (all got rated 9+). I even competed in tournaments in 04 and 05, but when 06 came out i thought it was such a step backwards, but i figured even madden can have a bad year, no big deal. Then i played last years and it was even worse. So basically i've been without football for 2 years, and to be honest with you i haven't missed it. I will probably give this years a shot but i'm not really excited about it. And unless there is something overwhelming about it, which i haven't heard in the reviews, there may not be enough to offer me to want to be an avid player again.

I am a sports fan, but I dont play many sports games except for the Winning Eleven games. I buy Madden every 3-4 years as I dont really feel the minor upgrades are worth a $60 purchase.

I'm satisfied with both MADDEN and NCAA 08. Yes, of course there were a few things I didn't like that they either had or were missing. But overall, I like them both. I've heard quite a few people talk about the controls, but I was able to change all of mine in the settings. I don't if that's exactly what people are referring to when they say "controls".

I would assume how they mapped the buttons is what everyone means by controls. Because the execution of all the moves are sharp in my opinion. For offline play! I don't like how they mapped the stiff arms to just one button. Pacomontoya, is there a classic setting for the controls?

I don't believe that there is one in the game that litteraly is labled "classic", but I try to go off of what I'm used to from previous versions and just input those in my settings. Like I've always remembered juke as being "R1 or L1" and speed is "X" or even "O". It's hard to get used to a completely new control setting, so I try my best to keep the one that I know best.

I haven't been a fan of any of the next gen Madden games. I love the depth they've added to the gameplay but EA needs to completely redo the AI. I was damn good at madden 05back on the Xbox (I would run up 50+ point scores playing 3 minute halfs on all madden with the Lions), maybe its just because I'm rusty but picking plays on defense feels more like luck than actual strategy.
