So I just got done reading the new Madden preview on ign.com and I have to say I am SO pumped for football this year! I enjoyed the games the last two years (although I will admit they were lacking, 06 in particular) but they really weren't a step forward like they should have been. Well, this previewhas me stoked!!! I have always been a football fan and I have played Madden since the early days on Sega Genesis so hearing that Madden is very next gen now makes me VERY happy. I can't wait!
[QUOTE="MjD23"]Next Gen football isnt coming with madden 08, it comes with the return of 2K Sports to football (All Pro Football 2K8)sleepisawesome2
hellz yeah homie
O....kay... I love how Madden threads turn into "2K football is the best ever!!!" threads... That's great if you think that but I only care about Madden seeing as the only good 2K game was the original on Dreamcast. After that, the game has been nothing but junk.

the Thread is called "Next Gen football is here" learn to read.
Im pretty sure if EA didnt get scared and bought uop all the rights to the NFL 2k sports would have surpassed madden in every way. Hopefullyl theres going to be a way to make your own teams(detailed customizable options). Also I hope they give you the ability to share rosters and created teams. This way we can have the NFL players and the real gameplay that should come with the NFL license.
2K5 was a great football title, of course not many Madden fans know this b/c they were busy playing Madden. Without the NFL license 2K8 will never touch the sales numbers of Madden, but it doesn't have to.
Madden 2008 sounds great (although personally I can't stand the arcadey nature of Madden), the promises have been there before. But still, it does sound like Tiburon is actually going to fix the gameplay. Of course how convenient that Madden FINALLY gets back on track when 2K gets back into the game.

Dude, I made the thread and I understand what the topic says, but if you actually read the first post, it's purely Madden based. 2K fans sure do like to cry and talk about how EA stole the NFL license away but 2K tried to get it and before you say that EA has more money, the NFL could easily have picked 2K if they had felt they would do the better job but obviously they felt EA would do more of what they wanted. So yeah, quit crying and just have fun playing your 2K game. I couldn't care less if you guys like that more but it seriously makes no sense that a thread about Madden (read the first post and it's very obvious) turns into a "2K RULES and MADDEN DROOLS!!!" thread... It's seriously sad.

I'm sure there are plenty of Madden fans that didn't play 2K5 (I have played it and wasn't impressed) but there are just as many that didn't play Madden because they were busy playing 2K5... It goes both ways and obviously it just comes down to personal preference as to which game you like. I am very happy that the 2K series came out because it really pushed football games in the right direction but, personally, I feel that it has been surpassed.
I am definitely looking forward to 2k8. 2k5 is still the best football game to date. I had and played every madden game. Every year I bought the new one, and was disappointed. Finally, in 04, I tried 2k, and loved it. Then 2k5 was best ever.
Why not just buy both APF 2k8 can entertain you till Madden comes out....both are good games 2k5 was amazing and madden hasnt been great since then...so just hope the competition makes better games to play dont argue about which ones better
I preferred the 2K series but i always got both. Since EA got the NFL liscence i havent played a football game since. Madden has gotten very boring and there was no 2K so..... But with All-Pro coming out and Madden '08 looking different for a change, i may have to check them out again. Come guys, someone make a worthy enough football game to get me back.
I loved the 2k games that I have on the dreamcast. I still turn that sucker on every now and then. I'm kinda torn between the two for now. I'll try both demos, and probably rent each one to see which I like the best.
i love how everyone is praising ea for stepping up this year but its really thanks to 2k games because now that ea has COMPETITION they actually make a decent games, thats why exclusive licenses are stupid and ruin gaming, competition brings out the best in both parties, so i'm happy that 2k is even making a game, even if it flops they are the main reason that ea is improving the gameplay
finally , finally , finalllllllly its here. man i canould wait for this. i mean man i hate to buy madden 06 and 07 but no next gen and yes yes yes finalyy its here. ( i just hope its finally next gen)
Sigh, if they make it more like the ones on the Xbox it be great. The ones on the 360 look way to similar to those of 2K's game. In other words crap and ugly. Just like Tony Hawk, I'm all Maddend out. No sense in buying a game I'll have to buy next year after the new draft.
IGN got me all pumped for Madden 07 last year as well.. and that was the first Madden game I was disappointed with. What really irks me is in the '08 preview they say how 07 was such a big letdown, but they gave it an 8.5!! Anyways, after 07 I vowed to skip out on Madden this year (first year I'll miss since... '03 maybe).
I have bought every Madden game since 2002 and this is the first year I'm not going to buy it. Madden 06 (the PS2 version, not just the crappy 360 version) and Madden 07 were huge disappointments. I'm going to rent this years game.

While that might have some truth to it, it's not completely fair to EA since they're overhauling their NCAA game as well, which has NO competition and is also getting great previews.

I owned both of them. When I got tired of one I popped the other one in. Good times with both of them.

I agree. Plus, Madden 07 was making strides in the right direction already and the PS3 version added gang tackling (although it's a totally new engine this year) so it wasn't just the fact that 2K8 was coming out. Plus, they might not have even known for sure that 2K was going to make a game...
