Rating: 5 / 5
As Usual. MADDEN. Always not a good game. Graphics is so poorly made. The movement of the players are like mascots. I wish some companies make an NFL football game. HELLO 2K Sports! Can you make an NFL game? EA SPORTS, They do not make quality games!

First I would like to say to all those people that hate Madden stop buying it. You people either suck at Madden or have no idea how far this game has come. There is a reason why this was and is the best selling game every year(even when 2k was out and just [...]$)
The core gameplay of madden is what has kept it alive and kicking all these years. I played 2k back in the day. To me the gameplay was not as smooth as Madden. Its a matter of personal preference but it never held my attention too long.
I pesonally play madden at a competitive level and once you master this game there is nothing like knowing you are 1 of the best madden gods in the world.
I will admit that last years version was full of bugs and the framerate was not up yo par on the PS3 version. Most of these problems have been fixed this year and the cometary is better than any madden in the past. 2k7 still did a better job with the halftime show but like I said earlier the gameplay was never as fluid as Madden.
This year the game adjusts the difficulty depending on how you perform. I thought it was going to suck but it actually does a decent job of rating you. The drills are easier than a live game so your rating will adjust during and after the game. If you sucked at a paticular category you have the option to practice that area after the game. I personally am rated at all madden at every level but I know alot of people arent as good or have the time and patience to get better.
The rewind feature is for rookies that dont play this game much and the back track doesnt get the call right every time but it lets you learn from your mistakes. The problem with madden in the past is that some people thought they were good but never had a real time gage of their performance. This year solves that problem.
Animations are silky smooth at 60 fps and there isnt a delay in when you hit the button and the player reacts like last year. This is a tip for rookies hold down the button to play the ball. This is how it was last year but this year you can hold the button or make a play at the last min. Just make sure you are in position and press the right button. If you hold it the animation will take over and sometimes take you out of the play. Practice this and i garuntee you will be better.
In conclusion it is making progress If you liked Madden before you will love this game. Only thing missing are on field refs and ESPN inergration. I used to like the PS2 version better in 06 but once I moved to next gen My eyes were opened to all the PS2 version flaws.

Okay, I’ve played madden since the old school days of sega genesis. I hadn’t played in a few years. I got back into video games this year with a PS3 over an xbox, wii, pc gamer…..
Madden is really just a fun game. I love playing another human online and it really plays like a real game would – realism is there which is all you can ask for in a sports game. NBA and NCAA 2k8 is realism….2k football i heard was realistic….this madden feels real…
Pro’s:
- when you hit someone with hitstick it shakes the whole screen – feels good when you do this
- when your star player gets away its a breakaway TD – feels great to do this.
- you can’t blitz too much or else QB will find receiver
- When you sack with a DE – it feels the best
- you can double team or focus on any one player to stop them as in real game
- you can outsmart the other player buy calling the right plays
- star players play like stars
Con’s
- kicking field goal is not easy
- too easy to make 2 point conversions on the QB Sneak
- too many interceptions
- not enough punt return tds or kickoff tds
- too many plays to choose from in an online game
- Dallas is too strong offensively – 3 guys that are star level, owens,barber and witten – can’t focus on one
i play this game almost every night online and it’s great to get a win and sickening to get a loss. Fun overall , don’t let the neg reviews get you…this game is fun and even though it’s not perfect like COD 4 it’s a great football game.
