I rented Madden 08, and I thought it was pretty bad. The graphics seemed to be worse, for some reason, and I didn't think the key players thing was very necessary. It's also really annoying how all of the players seem to be running with high knees. Why is that? The only thing I found to be a lot better was the framerate, where you could definitely tell the difference. Apart from that, I think Madden 07 is way better. Anyone else agree?

I agree. I saw it being played at Gamecrazy, I thought the same thing the graphics were dumb down.

That explains the frame rate.

Stupid EA.

you people know nothing about football in general if u think 07 is even in the same league as 08.

08 lets see the weapons system changing the game, why yes it does, No more of the same defense when u play Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Eventually they will just set up the play to burn you.

AI is much tougher this round, no more dumb long ball between 2 defenders where the cornors dont make a play on the ball.

Faster Blitzes, Defensive playmakers.

back lateral.

run your own route options. difference in sty-le of running backs that is actually shown through the gameplay.,

The framerate being much smooter than last years and faster on the 360.

Wow the first 2 posters look like fools IMO, but no one will care because its Madden.

espn nfl 2k5 is dated beyond belief. all pro footbal 2k5 is the same game with a next gen paint job and made up teams.

madden 08 is superior to all football games of the past except Tecmo Bowl.

Is this thread a joke? No seriously is this thread a joke :lol:

Any Rookie that thinks Madden 07 > Madden 08 seriously needs to put the sticks down now. I mean seriously did you play the game? Or did you try it for 15 minutes thinking that it was going to be exactly like 2007 and were turned off that it wasn't? I mean Madden 07 was so bad that they had to use THE XBOX VERSION for the Madden Challenge. What does that tell you?

Ownage signed sealed and delivered. So here it is

Personally i thought 08 was the first madden that felt like a real next gen football game, 07 felt like a port from the ps2. IMO 08>>>07.

Madden 08s gameplay outdoes ESPN 2k5s in everyway. why else do u think allpro 2k5 stinks compared to madden 08.

its the same gameplay as 2k5. but its dated.

Madden 08 is the only Madden game I can consider as being a good football game since 2K came out in 1999, and its the best football game since 2K5 in 2004.

Madden is better than it was last year but its still not a good game. Way too many fumbles and picks and the computer AI just reads whatever play you choose instead of displaying any real intelligence. Once it decides it needs to scorea touchdown or get the ball from you there is just about nothing you can do. I'm not enjoying the game much because each game I play feels pretty much the same. I run up the score a couple touchdowns and then my team falls apart completely fumbling on every possession that goes over two first downs, fumbling on kick and punt returns. YADDA YADDA YADDA!

My only beef with Madden 08 is the fact that EVERY Linebacker has Champ Bailey-esque coverage skills. I mean it is ridiculous that that i have to think twice when throwing across the middle. They all seem to have 48" vetrtical and are suddenly 7 feet tall!I mean really EA the CPU pass defense A.I. is a little unbalanced Imo!!!

No knowledge?

Im sorry, but EA is way off with how realistic Madden is? Sorry, I have never watched a NFL game where aDE is chasing QB and the QB freezes and gets sucked up by some gravitational force for a sack.

I have never seen Edge plower over linebackers... In Madden, Michael Vick could run all over anyone when I have seen him shut down by defense.

Madden is all about taking the big names, pumping up their stats,and learning to use BS glitches. Dont act like there is any reality to Madden at all. Playing on All-Pro or All-Madden it always seems to be an offensive shoot out which is hardly the case in the NFL every game.

Oh, knowledge of the game? Last time I checked Tony Romo is pretty hard to sack behind the line of scrimmage, this applies to last year, and this year so far. Yet EA seems to have made him slow as hell and easy to tackle in the backfield.

EA also did seem to not make Plaxico Burress lazy in game where the Giants are losing. Last time I checked if the game is getting out of hand, he seems to quit playing ball.

So obviously you really dont know jack about the NFL bro.
