Well i just watched the superbowl on gamespot just now. they were using madden 08 on the xbox 360 and it was the patriots aka pats versus the giants aka G-men. the game had a very slow start but it started to pick up in the 2nd half.

in the 1st half nothin exciting really happened. both teams had a slow start. the kickoff went to the patriots but they couldnt do anything with the ball on that drive. in fact, brady was sacked once and im pretty sure they wen 3 and out. not a good way to start.

when the giants got the ball they didnt do anything with it either. they atleast got one first down but were shut down quickly after that.

at the end of the 2nd quarter the first points were put up on the board by the giants. with 40 seconds left eli manning threw a very deep pass the plexico burris who was wide open in the endzone!!! what had happened on the defense was a bad case of bad timing. right when the defense was about to switch players to get a sack the opposing team through the ball which then made the switch of the player become a cornerback instead of a line man which cause him to run foward instead of covering the reciever. that is how the first points were put up on the board.

starting the second half the giants got the ball and were moving down the field very nicely until one bad pass by eli which cause an interception by the patriots. because of the one good play by the pats they were then put on a good streak. they took the ball down the field in no time and had an easy running score which then tied the game 7 all.

they then kicked the ball backed to the giants who were then forced to punt the ball away. again the pats took the ball down the field and scored which then made the pats get their first lead of the game...14 to 7.

so once again the pats kicked the ball back to the giants with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. it was do or die here for the gaints so manning threw a long pass which was once again picked off by the pats. but this was no ordinary pick...it was a pick and a 70 yard touchdown return which closed the game off patriots 21 giants 7.

it was a good game overall but i would have liked to see a little more action in the beginning of the game. hopefully the real superbowl will be that intense at the end but have a litttle more action at the beginning.
