Well here it is...supposedly one of the most anticipated sports game of the year...

User Rating: 7.7 | Madden NFL 08 PS3
By Cheefyman | Review Date:
Personally, I've been waiting for a next generation Madden game since I bought my ps3 and while I am not totally dissapointed at John's recent video game I am not jumping out of my seat. While the graphics are definitely better than any other Madden games (well shouldn't they be..it is PS3) Madden fails to deliver in critical areas. The audio commentary is so awful that I had to mute my TV and put on some music from my stereo. Madden is still his corny self and the play by play guy sounds like he's reporting from a 1975 Kentucky radio station.

I do have to admit that this Madden is probably one of the most difficult Madden games that I have ever played. In Madden 07 I had a perfect season with the Chiefs playing All Pro, while in this game I'm struggling to tackle mediocre running backs like Michael Turner. Defenders are much smarter (especially corners so the occasional bomb to Steve Smith will be harder to complete) and running backs are extremely slippery elusive and difficult to tackle. They made the CPU pretty smart and even on Pro they are a formidable opponent.

Finally, I only have a few more complaints/comments. I'm not 100% sure if the option is completely gone but when I went to turn on Accelerated Clock it wasnt there. Plus, for all you cheaters Madden Cards are no longer available so unfortunitely during the fourh quarter you cannot play a gold fumbilities or 5 downs card, so your on your own. I conclude by saying that even with these obvious flaws, what's better than Madden?
