this game is better than the others in graphics, gameplay, and extras but it seems like it is missing something but im not sure what though. but all in all this is a must have if you are a madden fan.

Amazingly fun game that never gets old (if your winning)

This game is pretty damn good figuring they have a franchise on football games. Although loading time is very slow the in game play is outstanding. Franchise mode is alright I don't like having to scout an entire year and I miss being able to change ticket prices and upgrade the stadium.

Fun with great graphics

This is as good as '07 once you get the hang of the new controls. Several controls have changed. So far, I have been able to do everything in this version that I could do in '07, though it took a while to figure out and get used to new ways to do some of the things.
Graphics are excellent and I love the mixed video game and NFL film clips. The sound is great too, very realistic in terms of stadium noise that includes the announcers and crowd.
This one still has a bit of a CPU bias where the team tends to get improved skills all of a sudden near the end of the game if it is trailing.
Another kinda cool thing is the supersim option, which allows you to sim some of the game and jump into and out of sim at any point. I use this for practicing certain plays and situations where I am weak to hone my skills and get used to the controls.
Very worth the money, do it!

Awesome Game

It's taken two and a half years and three releases, but Madden is finally back to form. In Madden NFL 08 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, EA Tiburon has put together the most complete version of Madden seen on either console to date. The gameplay is tight, practically every old feature that had been previously missing is back in some form or another, and new additions have been made that significantly change how you play the game--for the better. By no means is this year's Madden flawless; it's definitely got some quirks and underpolished aspects that will probably drive some people crazy. But taken as a whole, Madden 08 is easily the first great entry for the series on the 360 and PS3.

Say hello to the first great football game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The system itself works beautifully within the context of the game. Sure, you'll certainly note the differences between QBs like Brett Favre and Vince Young, but that would have been the case in any Madden game of the last few years. Here, you'll notice the differences in just about every position. Power running backs and speedier running backs are more individually defined than ever before, as are the differences between run blockers and pass blockers. On the defensive side of the ball, you see more in the technical differences in play between a shutdown corner that guards against the deep threat, and the press coverage corners who prefer to jam up receivers at the line. And the big hitters? Yes, they hit big.

These new weapon designations even go beyond basic techniques--they can actually give you insight into what the other team is doing. Specifically, the "smart" QB and defender designations come with a meter that fills up as individual plays on the other side of the ball are called throughout a game. After a single play or coverage scheme has been called four times, a quarterback like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady can actually see exactly what the defense is going to do, whereas a smart defender can get a glimpse of where the offensive play is going to go. Obviously the counterattack to something like this is to vary up your playbook as much as possible, which is in itself a great thing, since that's what real offensive and defensive coordinators are forced to do in the real game.

loved it

Madden NFL 08 (X360) Review

It's taken two and a half years and three releases, but Madden is finally back to form. In Madden NFL 08 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, EA Tiburon has put together the most complete version of Madden seen on either console to date. The gameplay is tight, practically every old feature that had been previously missing is back in some form or another, and new additions have been made that significantly change how you play the game--for the better. By no means is this year's Madden flawless; it's definitely got some quirks and underpolished aspects that will probably drive some people crazy. But taken as a whole, Madden 08 is easily the first great entry for the series on the 360 and PS3.

You'll notice the big difference in this year's title the second you hop into a game. Marquee players have been given icons to specifically represent what type of "weapon" they are on the field. There are a ton of these different designations, separating out multiple types of players at each position. Wide receivers, for instance, come in a wide variety of forms. There are quick receivers who are able to nimbly duck and dodge around defenders to get open; possession receivers are good at catching the ball in traffic; hands receivers can grab onto just about any ball thrown their way; and big play receivers will leap up to make those really spectacular catches. Every position has at least a couple of these different designations, though not every player is truly a weapon. In addition, each weapon type has an opposite, a player on the other side of the field who can, in a sense, cancel out their abilities. Big play receivers, for instance, are vulnerable to big hitters, finesse move defensive linemen have a tougher time getting by top pass blockers, and so on.

Say hello to the first great football game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

can't wait till 09 see wats next?
