thanks for telling me sumtin that has been said in 3 other threads :|:roll:NetYankEagle

actually theres only one thread here thast talking about the features in it

and it looks like its dying.

Hahaha,Gang tackles,saving replays,pregame,alternite unis and better graphics...sounds like 2k5.Ohhh are you talking about madden...Already been done.2ksports.Oldkingsman

 yea madden 08 is a little outdated I mean NFL 2k4 released gang tackling, sideline catches and all that stuff 3 years ago lol im a little surprised to see madden took this long to finally put it into their game 

Hahaha,Gang tackles,saving replays,pregame,alternite unis and better graphics...sounds like 2k5.Ohhh are you talking about madden...Already been done.2ksports.Oldkingsman

and the need to point that out was..... hmm no reason other then to annoy people.  he wasn't trying to compare madden to the 2kseries, which died back in 05 in case you forgot.  he was simply trying to talk about madden 08.  not make a big debate over which one was better.  the gameplay in the 2k series "may" have had the slight edge, but the 2k series paled in comparison when it came to franchise mode, which is where most people spend most of there time.

eitremn is right, it's obvious that you are just trying to annoy people and bring up an old game even though the topic creator didn't mention it or say anything bad about it for that matter! Plus, while 2K5 had "gang tackling" it's not the same as the one in Madden and NFL Fever 2000 (which I still have on PC) had gang tackling too so 2K didn't come up with it so you're wrong in saying you are just giving credit where credit is due!

Besides all that, we are talking Next Gen here and 2K5 was last gen... sure it had tuff like gang tackles and alternate unis (better graphics is FAR from the truth since every guy looked like a WR in 2K5) but they were decent at best! If you have seen the work in progress video or read any previews you would see that Madden 08 for 360 is stuffed with amazing things like mid-air collisions that look VERY true to life as well as gang tackles that are MUCH better than those of last gen systems. So the concept may not be new but this level of gang tackling (EA made an engine specifically for gang tackling) is new and is something that hasn't been done. So please read previews of Madden and think about what they are saying before you make a very uninformed remark.

which died back in 05 in case you forgot. eitremn

Ok nick!You think you told me something i dont know?And try to annoy people?The only reason you and your buddy are botherd is the fact i bring up antoher football game other than your holy game of madden,Thats your problem.Madden does not put money in your pocket,But yet you defend this company that has given you less the last two years of this so called next-gen wave,So while it was last gen 2k5 had things that maddens so called next gen did not,And i dont know what is so next anything about that!So with 2k8 on the way,i can only imagine what 2ksports will do now,So read your reviews,as you have for the last few years and the promise that this years madden will be better than 05,06,07 listen to the machine,i on the other hand will go with progress and 2ksports which has proven over and over from year to year, that they can make a great football game without the hype 2k1 2k2 2k3 2k4 to 2k5 were huge leaps in inovation...while madden added a little here and a little there,they were already big,why stress and strain to make a better game,no need, the madden drones will buy it,then all of a sudden came 2k5 and its 19.95 price tag,Ohh ohhh, a better game for less,And we know what madden did after that,dont we!So i know more than you think,Nick!And if i annoy you it's because i dont sing the same tune,Too Bad...You like madden good.I have no problem with that,but dont say it's the only choice or the best.Because everybodys Different,and this year there is a choice.2k8!Oldkingsman

what you fail to realize is that the 2k series is an arcade style football game, while madden is an NFL simulator.  and how does 2k's franchise mode compare to maddens hmm?  plain and simple; it doesn't.  so do not assume that i am just a madden drone, i have been playing football games for a long time now.  and please do not forget that without the madden series, football games would not be what they are today.  they basically invented the modern football style game.  they were the first to actually use all 11 players on each side of the ball.  and they've faced tough competition before the 2k series and won, why, because it's the best, that's why.  madden persists while other sports series die out.

I'm gonna pre order this and NCAA next week.

.(LOL)die out!Right.Buying the nfl rights so another company cant make a better game is how you persist...(you are a madden head)What a joke.ok no one but madden has made a football game in the past?Gameday,tecmo,4th and inches,football simulator,microsfts football etc...If you buy the rights to all that is the nfl as well as arena,college and everything else,that does not make you better...it makes you weaker because comp brings out the best,and makes it better for everyone involved.The best!Please...When you buy people out your the only,not the best.And you say your not a drone.WoW!Oldkingsman

EA didn't buy out the rights until 2006, so what the hell does that have to do with any of those other franchises that died out, huh?  you still keep ignoring what most people consider the most important mode, franchise mode.  you keep going on and on about the same thing over and over again, while ignoring what madden has over the 2k series.  you are a drone to the 2k series because you look at it's only positive aspect, gameplay, and it's arcade style gameplay at that.  not true NFL simulation, in one of the 2k games, i could run the same deep pass over and over again and score a TD everytime, you don't see that happening in madden because the defense adjusts accordingly.  so think whatever you want, but madden is superior.  some people just need something to complain about.

lol madden is not "sim like" have you seen the players run in madden they can't even get skinny while trying to run through a whole between two offensive lineman, in madden so many times if a RB gets stuck behind a lineman he will just come to a complete stop and look both ways while in 2k football if a RB gets stuck he can actually stick his arm out put it on the back of the lineman and grind it out for a few more yards

It's cool andyboii,ertremn is lost and caught up in madden land it happens,Ea bought the rights  to the NFL,before 2k could make another football game,Right?Why do you think that is?Hmmm?You would think that with all the drones buying their game,they wouldn't have to Buy the Rights to anything,Right?I mean they are far more superior,Right?why should they care if antother company makes an NFL game,Right?Wrong!They did what most cowards do when they see trouble(2k5,19.95,better game for the money)They Ran(bought the rights)FACT!But believe what you want,Just tell me why they would care about another NFL game if theirs is so great!Hmmm?Why the punk move?Just make a better game and keep up.Oldkingsman

yet you keep continuing to ignore what makes madden superior.  i never said it didn't have it's flaws, so does every game.  2k sold 2k5 for $20 because it's a watered down arcade football game that you can throw bombs in all day long.

they bought the rights to the NFL because they had the opportunity and it makes good business sense to do so.  it would have made just as much sense if the 2k series would have gotten off there butts and bought the rights.  but instead they chose to buy the exclusive 3rd party rights for baseball.  and they are still losing that war to mlb the show, so it seems no matter where 2k go's, they lose.  coincidence, i think not.  and you have yet to comment on how much better maddens franchise mode is to 2k's, which was absolutely pathetic at best.  so i say again, madden is a far superior product and they should have the rights to the NFL if anyone is to have them at all.  not some 5 year old arcade style football franchise.  if they were going to give the rights to that, they might as well of given them to midway.

this is what i've been saying, madden has beaten any other companys in the past.  so it shouldn't come as a surprise when they beat the 2k series out.  because madden is superior in almost every way, and according to the hype behind madden 08, it will now be superior in EVERY way.

the NFL doesn't "need" a videogame to run on either.  nor does EA need madden to run on.  so no, i'm sure money wasn't the only factor.  the NFL recognized the superiority of madden and chose EA!

Look Clowns,it's money that got the deal done,Madden has been around 20plus years people know the name,they have ad support etc,they have big bucks,the nfl has big bucks,And it is untrue that the nfl came a knocking on ea's door other game makers were cutting into their market,although small(28 percent at the time)intrest in other football game makers was growing,and at 19.95 people had no reason not to give 2k a try...So what does ea do??They brought their check books and a plan,If you have a problem with this,Go and google madden and ea merger.So think what you want and make up stories to make your little game shine,im not buying it and could careless,Just dont put down others who want something different.

well then what is that saying huh?  and if you actually read about how it took place, there were 5 other companies that were trying to get this exclusive deal done.  and madden hasn't even been around for 20 years yet, so please come back when you know what your talking about.

When i dont type the word "need"in a sentence,and you still show me the sentence,You have problems.And are making things up.Sad.if madden means that much to you,then fine. i have no more to say.Madden is your life and you are willing to fabricate and twist facts.Well...i like 2ksports and all,but there is a line i dont cross.It's not that important,you keep being Narrow minded.Later.Oldkingsman

lol madden is not superior go check out the ratings on gamespot and ign and tell me which game is more superior, NFL 2k games always got in the high 90's while madden 06 and 07 are in the low 8 range, pretty disappointing if ya ask meandyboiii

 If madden is more sim like and not as arcady and flashy as 2k why did it take madden so long to put in gang tackling and sideline catches if you watch real football which you say you do you see it in almost every game so why didn't madden incorporate that in there game while 2k football had that feature back in 2k4, seems to me madden tries to focus on all the other features rather then their gameplay

it's funny isn't it?  how they just keep bring up the same thing over and over again because they know not what they talk about.  who cares that gang tackles or sideline catches weren't in madden yet, they were to busy worrying about what's important.  real football fans play madden.  all of my football loving friends play madden and hated the 2k series.  i have tried both, and i still love madden.  and the reviews hold very little weight, because as peacebringer wrote, they don't know football.

Little things like gangtackles?OMG!When have you seen an NFL game without more than one man bringing down the ball carrier??Little things?thats a Joke.You say your not biased,but you make up things that no one in their right mind would,meaning lies,as if your going to change someones mind,and all of a sudden their going to say"wow! i didnt know that"your right!i now think madden is better!Please...you cant spell,you cant even make up a decent story,and no one cares if you say 2k is this 2k is that,You know why??Because your an EA fanboy with a narrow mind,i told you over and over,Ea has Big money,And therefore were the front runners for the NFL rights,also their name(madden)is known on a larger scale then 2k and others why wouldn't the NFL choose them,from a Biz side it makes sense...But as their games have proved,that does not make them better!People have not had a choice the last few years,so you cant say madden is better,Because they have been the only football game out,who do they compete against, Themselves!So please..get off maddens Ballz and stop dreaming up stuff to prove a point you dont have.If madden turns out to be great this year,Cool!If not,life goes on,the same with 2k8.But dont Try and tell me what to think,and what all of theese so called people said,i have my own mind,and can see for myself.Thank You very much.Now Scram Peacebringer!You and the other hater,Go and have a madden party,Just be sure to pay the fat man first.

O please elaborate on what you think is important to madden games I would really love to know, is it the superstar mode? is it the controlling of the lead blocker? is it the qb vision? all those things will never change the SOS gameplay of madden games every year, why is it whenever you run in madden and you can't find a hole the RB will just stand there behind the lineman until he is tackled, while in nfl 2k games the RB will actually put his arm on the O lineman and grind it out for a few more yards just as in real life you tell me which game is more realistic

btw this will also be my last post in this topic I don't want to be suspended again for "flaming" in another 2k v madden thread
