Aug 16th 2007
156
           def the best looking madden to date (360)
Aug 16th 2007
164
For anyone who has played both the ps2 and 360 versions:
Aug 15th 2007
153

Aug 16th 2007

Aug 27th 2007
201

      RE: you right
Aug 29th 2007
211
Copped the 360 version today...still getting used to the pacing
Aug 27th 2007
205
Im having a very hard time adjusting to the 360 version
Aug 29th 2007
207
any help for improving my d-line game? anyone?
Aug 29th 2007
214
      not a helpful reply but i feel you
Aug 29th 2007
221
           I think my D has scored more points than my O on my franchise
Aug 30th 2007
227
Ok so I put my Madden hate aside and copped '08 for 360
Aug 29th 2007
209
I Finally Copped
Aug 29th 2007
210
I don't think I've listened to game sound in years
Aug 29th 2007
213
are there sliders for fumbles on 360/PS3?
Aug 29th 2007
215
      Unfortunately No....
Aug 29th 2007
219
           You can limit your fumbles by adhering to two rules:
Aug 29th 2007
220
                ^^Truth.^^
Aug 30th 2007
223
                It helps if you jack the sliders all the way up too
Aug 30th 2007
224
                It also helps to not have Frank Gore as your running back lol
Aug 30th 2007
225
                actually the ball cover up is very underrated
Aug 30th 2007
226
So im returning the 360 Madden
Aug 31st 2007
228
add your name >>>>>>>here__________if you returned your copy of 08
Aug 31st 2007
229
      I tried so hard to like the 360 version, so hard
Aug 31st 2007
231
      i'm considering it

5. "Wow so they just blatantly ripping off 2k8 huh?"
In response to Reply # 1


  

          

just like they did with madden 04 and 05 (remember the defensive line/lb/backfield shifts they lifted straight from the 2k football?) I swear them people working on Madden are the laziest mofos to ever do it. I bet the loading times will be sloooow again. If Madden can improve its presentation/loading time/ease of gameplay and phisics, i might cop, but we all know that won't happen

rushing attack on the old xbox ....2005 did it best....added infinite replay value...especially when you have more than three guests and nobody wants to wait for a whole game. hopefully they bring it back instead of that shitty easy running drill they had in last years version that wasn't really meant for two or more

WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US?!?! NOOOOBODDDDYY!!!!

but maybe a demo download

i've been done with that game since 2002, when i lost 3 games in the regular season on last minute fumbles, and then proceeded to get eliminated from the wild card the same way

never again

In response to Reply # 24


  

          

on any difficulty on any Madden....however, I have heard numerous cats talk about it, and my brother prob has some of the worst luck when it comes to fumbles at the worst times(esp in online games), shit is just frustrating esp when the opponent does nothing to actually force the fumble(like a strip or hitstick).

it appears that they spent a lot of time fixing the little gameplay gripes that have plagued the series. the graphics were already solid, but the 60 fps on the 360 version will be a very nice addition if it looks anything like NCAA- which was noticeably much more smoother this year.

i'd much rather see them spend time this year fixing as many of the gameplay mechanics and gripes as they can, then write a new graphics engine next year.

Man i bought a 360 for the SOLE PURPOSE of playing next gen Madden and that shit lasted about a week before i took it back.

Anybody remember the 4th quarter freezes that would happen too?

And why isn't Madden and Al Michaels doing commentary yet? I know most people love or hate the commentary, but the generic voiceover guy they use for the 360 sounds annoying to me.

it makes sense in progression though.

06- straight port to next gen with enhanced graphics, heavily stripped down to meet launch date
07- add in all the missing features, some new ones
08- groundwork is all in place, focus on fixing gameplay and add in some more new changes revolving around gameplay.

165. "I am def feeling the gameplay a lot more this year on the ps2"
In response to Reply # 141


  

          

-The secondary reacts far better to balls which changes basically everything

-the O-line is much smarter esp in terms of sealing off blocks on the edge(which makes running far more realistic esp if you catch the opponent off-gaurd, and being sucked into tackles if far less prevalent than previous years so running up the gut is the best its ever been...but still doesnt even compare to the 360 version which has ridiculously precise collision detection)

-I really feel like I have control over my d-line and can really make an impact(esp in the run game, you dont get pushed off the line 5 yards like previous maddens)

-I love how much smarter lb's are in taking proper angles to the ball carrier

-you can actually see the improvement of a player if he has a 'weapon' this year (esp run-stuffing DT's and lockdown corners).

Essentially, this ps2 version is easily the best Madden ever because there's a real balance to the gameplay and you actually have to play a good game to get the W. Plus Im really loving the hitstick 2.0 lol.

In response to Reply # 75


          

i know gamestop was open at midnight 2 years ago for madden 06.

i got there at like 2am and they wouldn't sell me a copy unless i put down a deposit for a game. do you have to have it reserved to buy it at midnight?

82. "24hr Wal-Mart is the way to go, IMHO"
In response to Reply # 77


  

          

Last year, I waited til midnight to get it. Didn't do a pre-order. Of course, the EBs and the GameStops ran out of copies quick, so we headed over to Wal-Mart. They barely had enough, but it seemed like most everyone who showed up when I did got a copy.

Not only that... but, Wal-Mart does price-matching on any ad you bring in. Usually, there are other Madden-heads who happen to be coupon cutters that will have some ad to an obscure store, selling the game for $5 or $10 less and will share the love with others in line.

Oh, and you can get socks and underwear at the same time.

93. "I went to the midnight release I had one reserved"
In response to Reply # 75


  

          

little fact to yall who havent copped yet:

Gamestop will give you 5.00 for a madden 07 trade in


Its pretty much the same but they did add suttle things that improved it(ps2)

I played 2 games online after i copped. it was 119 people on before my 1st game and this was at like 12:15 by the 2nd it was like 1500+ LOL

My take:

-commit on Def is now to where you can commit to a direction compared to 07 when you just commit middle all the time

-hit stick 2.0 is whats poppin. You can press down on hit stk and he will take out his legs(very benifical when you have a CB against a big back)

-defense is MUCH smarter especially the line. No more of that dropping back 80 yards bullshyt

- Jamarcus Russell throw power is 99 LOL

-Patriots Defense isnt as good as I thought it would be

-Vikings defense is fucking ridiculous

-(PS2)Graphics arent that good at all but really madden hasnt looked good in years

It looks like if you own both systems, you don't want the PS3 version. They say the framerate is downright terrible.

complaining about how the PS3 version looks foggy and is much less detailed, 30 FPS vs. 60 FPS (which they even said affects the gameplay), and PS3 doesnt run in 1080i or 1080p.

103. "i haven't played since 06 on the og xbox. question."
In response to Reply # 0


          

i was good at the cone passing on the xbox 06 version but it's taking me a little to adjust to the button changes. is the vision cone still necessary? it doesn't seem to be affecting my precision whether i use it or not. i heard they dumbed down the cone vision in 07 so i was wondering if it's the same this year.

thoughts:

i don't like the new way you pick plays. i think it was much better having three plays in front of you and being able to pick which one by using a certain button. it made picking plays much quicker.

there's so many defensive things you can do now and it's taking me some time to learn and utilize all these options.

As a game it's always been about a 7/10 for me. I just got caught in the hype of football season this year.

At least it seems to play more like the Xbox and PS2 versions. I HATED the 360 version the first year.

Madden gamers may need to get used to hearing this or come up with a rule amongst friends before starting an online match.

I popped in Madden 08 for the Xbox 360 after just getting it from the midnight release and have already got the defensive end to jump offsides 9 times on one drive basically moving me into scoring position. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this. If so, this could be a huge bug in the game and prove to frustrate many gamers.



Madden 09 just might already be in your sights

I'm talking about those mini-games you get to play during the off-season during Franchise Mode that builds up individual ratings. I just simulated a season on the PS3 and I'm wondering if I just skipped that whole section.

I thought they was playing a trick on me by putting in Madden 07, but that shit was really 08.

The shit is the same damn game, and the new play call screen is bullshit, shit was so boring to play, and the deep ball is way too easy.

that it wasn't teh suck and actually was less boring than he expected, but i'm not buying anything without a demo.

Animations are beautiful. Defensive AI is RIDICULOUS! Graphically, it is almost identical (you can see slight improvements in player models.) Gameplay is super responsive. Presentation is unchanged (not good.) Audio/commentary sucks.

That said, I think it well worth the price of admission.... and in my humble opinion....better than APF2K8.

RUNS FOR COVER.....

That's some bullshit, it was one of my favorite features. I'm still trying to get used to switching players with circle instead of X. The one thing they've messed up since 05 is the secondary audibles. It used to be a breeze to assign double teams, now you got to actually select your defender, select the receiver and order the double. WTF?

and then traded it in. Moreso because it played funny. But this one is the best Madden I've played in years. The players move like they're real players for a change. That was one thing that use to annoy me about Madden. But this game looks nice in 1080i. And it moves so fluidly.

153. "For anyone who has played both the ps2 and 360 versions:"
In response to Reply # 0
Wed Aug-15-07 09:46 PM by LA2Philly

  

          

Some of my early differences (positive and negative):

- The 360 version obviously looks far better, with great animations, but it just doesnt seem as fluid as the ps2(maybe its just me getting used to the 360 version, iono). The animations are just fucking sick esp gang-tackles, and when a big-hitter or run stopper just cracks someone.

- Why the fuck do I have to hit A on the 360 version to do defensive playmaker? It just adds an extra step to all my individual playmakers, shit doesnt make sense.

- The blocking on the 360 version is def better, and you really can see the fighting in the trenches. Additionally, due to the individual battles on the line, blitzing is far more realistic because your linebackers dont get stuck on their own guys like the ps2 version (so if you actually run blitz into the correct gap, the rb is getting stopped for yards).

- The 360 really focuses on weapons and individual player strengths...this is great in terms of matchups, but with some cats, they really made the weapons too much of a factor (Champ is ridiculous, Ray Lewis is nailing cats and forcing 3 fumbles a game lol). I do like how matchups play such an important role, and how certain players have certain moves that are effective.

- There is a significant difference in ratings between top tier and lower tier teams on the 360, whereas on the ps2 version, the lowest team is a 83ish and the highest is a 92ish. (this can be considered a positive or negative, a definite negative online because you are going to get very redundant matchups with cats using the high ranked teams).

- The running game is far more realistic in between the tackles on the 360 because cats dont somehow jump off their blocks...if you make a great read and find a hole, you will hit the 2nd layer instead of on the ps2 version where many times a d-lineman sucks you into a tackle.

- No idea why they changed the playcalling on the 360...shit doesnt make any sense esp considering how fucking great the ps2 setup is. Who cares about showing off the graphics in-between plays, give me the better play-calling setup.

- The 360 AI in the secondary is fucking great...you actually have to find an opening to complete a pass because the db's and safety will knock down passes that should be knocked down (whereas on the ps2 this is greatly improved but there are still some catches that should never happen due to late reactions by the secondary).

I really just have to get used to the 360 version....the only thing Im concerned about is getting used to a new button scheme(when I have basically even the most complex shit down on the ps3) and having to hit A for individual playmaker which just makes it harder(time wise) to get my pre-snap stuff in, esp in online games or vs. my brother.

159. "is there any way to see how many time outs there are?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

or do I gotta keep rocks in my pocket and count them myself. I'm on the 360, maybe i'm looking in the wrong place but I can't see how many time outs either team has.

I like the game so far, but i'm not totally in love/addicted to it so far. Maybe it will come, its too early to tell.

167. "Vick just got demoted on the depth chart. (swipe)"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

To 4th...


http://www.pastapadre.com/1477/details-on-the-first-madden-08-roster-update

The roster update that was expected to be released for the 360 and PS3 versions of Madden 08 is now available. In order to receive the new roster file, you need to start a ranked online game. It will prompt a download of the latest rosters which can then be saved over the previous online roster set and used offline as well.

The hottest topic surrounding this update was how Michael Vick would be dealt with. EA has moved him down the depth chart. He is not in the three slots alloted to the QB position. However he is still in the game and on the Falcons roster, which means those who wish to continue using him will be able to do so by moving him in prior to an online game or by editing the depth chart themselves for offline play. His rating has not been changed, he is still a 90 OVR.

Continue on to read every single transaction, rating adjustment, and contract extension that was made with the roster update.

1) Isn't it kinda too early for an updated roster that will have to be updated when reg season starts...

2) Hmm...I noticed Strahan wasn't mentioned.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

At the end of the year, some running backs have 500 carries and over 2,000 yards. Not just one, but maybe 3 or 4 backs will have these stats.

WOW


4 minutes left in the 2nd. 21-0. chargers/bears opener, on all madden. no lie.. straight up BORING ass gameplay... the game's presentation/graphics/out of game depth is better though, right off the bat, compared to madden 2007.. but the gameplay isn't super exciting.

it'll do though... for my franchise football/ nfl licensing fix.

back to the game. gonna beat the bears and the pats and kill some got damn zombies

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I can barely get to the guy I want to control and adjust my secondary before the play is already off.

the secondary's AI is unforgiving.
bad passes are going to be picked off, 9/10 times.
much better than before, but soemtimes too unrealistic imo

still getting used to it, since I skipped last years next gen and stuck to PS2.

178. "i like the parity between all the teams on Wii/PS2 version"
In response to Reply # 0
Fri Aug-17-07 06:06 PM by bigboy

          

like the lowest team being a 83, all over 85 and a couple over 90 the highest being 92

but this player weapons thing on defense is kinda ridiculous, alot more fumbles this year, but it was more needed by the qbs cuz i only had one fumble the whole year behind the line of scrimmage in 07. the secondary plays alot more realistic and the cpu qbs seem to be affected mentally by blitzes, a good touch there. but the cpu's ballcarring logic still needs some work. on punt returns they run staight into the point of attack. you can also win/lose games off of muffed punts alone. and on the Wii version, i wish they made the kicking more challenging, like having to swing the wiimote after the ball is snapped.

its actually easier to bounce out of piles and make cut-back runs this year, you can see there hands pushing their blockers foward. and the cpu plays coverage first, blitz/tricks later unlike last year

In response to Reply # 0


          

its just too boring. even in tight games, no thrill, the crowd is dead, plays end way to quickly. its like we've all been playing the same old limited game for about 9 years now. no laterals, no qb evade, running game is predictable and stiff, defense isnt fun and neither is special teams. i've never blocked a field goal/punt and kick returns are way too easy

im trading mines in Monday, only a week until MP3 comes out


i aint got no choice, every year Tiburon & EA claims a new, bigger, and better game. and they do a good job selling to my dumb ass. i cant see how this is the 1 selling franhise and it is such a mediocre game. or maybe i just need to put the controller down for a minute

In response to Reply # 183


  

          

None of yall is going to tell me this isn't the same game as last year! Only the name on the back has changed. EA is sucking the life out of the NFL experience. This isn't hate, this is someone who just expects more EVERYTIME a new version is released. They selling us the same shit with new names. You can't point out one great thing EA brought to Madden this year, they just fixed last years fuck ups and in doing that, they created new ones. The fuck is this icon shit!?!?

I'm almost through it, I'm currently facing the "Glaciers," a team that plays on a frozen field and can disappear at will (WTF?)

Yes, several resets have occured

This after beating a team consisting solely of the EA Madden Dummies

After I finally beat the Glaciers, I think the next team is a bunch of cats who play in water or something

Shit is fun, fukk what you Sky-Is-Falling dudes is claiming

Except to say the Tridents, or Neptunes, or whoever they were called didn't play in water, they're just bigger, harder-hitting players with a sea-themed stadium and names

Also, check out the training challenges, them shits are addictive

it isn't the incredible leap forward that it should be but the awesome new branching animations and the not-quite-as-impacting-as-it-should-be weapons thingy are nice additions. combine the new animation system with the super responsive controls and you have the most playable madden in years. i finally feel like i have total control of my players (even tho the wr catch timing still seems to be a little fucked)

the expanded pre-snap defensive controls are nice but the comp always snaps the ball too quickly for me to make all the adjustments i'd like to. and what's with not being able to assign a defender to a specific receiver for a double team?

the playbooks are still too sparse for my liking (esp. with the new 'smart defender' weapon) and i'm disappointed (again) that you can't create your own playbooks

franchise is still excellent (the main draw of the game for me), superstar is still retarded, and the training games (at least the bench press and 40 yd dash) are still bewilderingly vague in how they're scored and sometimes seem broken

i just started a franchise with the redskins. traded some cap hogs for younger, cheaper equivalents and got te vernon fucking davis (aka the linebacker's worst nightmare) along with some rookie fa hb with 85 trucking and 89 stiff arm and i'm dominating the league using a 2 back set with the occasional play action pass to davis or moss

also TOO MANY TURNOVERS! in my first game i got 6 ints of which 4 were returned for tds (!). i had to take the interceptions slider down to 15 to get some semblance of realism. is there a slider for fumbles that i'm not seeing?

Its seems as though if you have a player who has a "Smart" icon, but that isn't their strongest weapon, you cant use it. A problem this big has to be seen in testing. Anyone else notice this? Im on 360

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Seems just like the Ps2 version gameplay wise
Problem though

The motion for catching sucks
This would have been a decent game if they just made catching one of the buttons on the nunchuck

Raising up the Wiimote and Nunchuck to catch is retarded
They don't respond correctly often

I really wish they would make the motion controls an option and let you use the Classic Controller or Cube controller if you want

Motions controls as a whole aren't really a problem though
They work

It's just the catching
I like to control my receivers whenever I can and the catching is terrible

Knicks yo
Cowboys yo

In response to Reply # 197


          

they made it more flexible this year which is good and allows the pocket to form more naturally and real. but the problem is the pass blocking AI seem to have fallen off. i had one blitzer run through 4 blockers untouched. i think EA was trying to beat the suction blocking problem they've had for years. but i said forget it and traded it in for that simple reason.

the catching and defensive swatting was alot better last year especially defensing passes. but yeah i didnt have any success catching anything this year

In response to Reply # 217


  

          

The AI on the front line is so bad its just jaw-dropping....so many times an O-lineman will just go right past the d-lineman and not even engage. The final straw for me was yesterday when the computer had their rolb blitz, my rg instead of picking up the DT, attempts to block the blitzing lb and the DT nails my qb in about .5 seconds. Terrible.

it's especially hard in Superstar if you're a running back. It's like you're a little boy playing amongst men (kinda like when I play ya'll in gears or whatever, except without me kicking ass). I mean my Superstar has a strength of 4 cause I don't know how the fuck to do the bench press. 4!!! When I get the ball all I can really do is hit the right button to protect it cause whenever I try to pull a move he fumbles. It sucks, and these are the little things that EA never gets right.

I'ma be on tonight by the way, if ya'll wanna play me in Madden holla.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Two major gripes though: theres no fucking reason you should have to hit A to go into playmaker mode, you dont have to do it on the ps2, why the fuck did they add this extra step? The second major gripe is that you cant play loose or press coverage on only one wr, you have to do it for the whole secondary or nothing, its fucking stupid. Why cant I just hit Y, the reciever, and then up or down (or lb or rb to shade inside or outside?)....these are direct conversions from the ps2 controls and would make playmaker controls much quicker and your secondary assignments far more complex and adjustable.

I did make some control switches to make the game more like the ps2 (switching stiff arm to rt and sprint to A)....but you cant fix the above two problems, and it makes no sense why EA would do them.

The improved secondary awareness, running game and blitzing game is fucking sick though.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

First off, there are so many fucking missed blocks by your O-line that it just drives me crazy. Then on the other side of the ball, I cant do shit with any of my d-lineman, anyone have any tips on how to actually get to the QB (and mind you im playing with arguably the best DT in the game in Tommie Harris....and getting rocked like 2 yards off the line, duke is a finesse move and power move d-lineman!)?

The running takes a bit getting used to considering i can actually go up the middle now, but considering the number of fumbles, I really have to play it conservative esp since I have Gore in my backfield.

Really I just need some tips on how to play on the d-line on the 360 because im getting nowhere, or getting my ass cut blocked every fucking time....and yet on the other side of the ball, the comp is putting in swim moves and penetrating on runs like a bunch of all-stars.

I havent scored an offensive TD in the last two games, but have 4 defensive td's in that span. Eli just dropped 250 yards on me, but I held the Giants to 13 points because the computers red zone scoring percentage is only like 70%.

As far as online, I havent even tried it yet for the 360 because my internet connection has been funky as of late...however, im pretty sure I will be able to hold my own due to my defense, and human players dont nearly have the same patience and vision as the computer in the passing game. I just need some more experience with the game....EA left out and altered so many features its just stupid(theres no feasible way to get in more than 1 or 2 defensive playmaker things before the snap, not being able to easily assign a bump to a single wr is the dumbest omission, wtf?).

209. "Ok so I put my Madden hate aside and copped '08 for 360"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Firs off, I HATED every madden on that system since launch (ok, it was only 2 of them). I remember being tolerant of Madden 05 but 2K5 blew it out of the water. I been a HUUUUGE fan of the 2K football, copped that 2K8 as well, but I needed NFL and Franchise. With that said, I am very pleased with the new Madden. As everyone mentiones how their presentation suck in comparison to 2K8, I think visually alot of things make up for that. Quick cutscenes on the field make an impression of how large everything is by zooming you onto the field. I feel now that Madden 08 is almost like a NFL rpg. there are sooooo many things you can do and controll. its depth definately its strongest attribute. The ring challenge feature is a nice way to add to the replay value, just another aspect of making you wanting to keep playing.

I am trying to get 4 rings before starting the superwtar mode because it seems like i can only assign "weapons" to my superstar after unlocking 4 rings. Is that true? am i miss-reading this?

Stay strong

210. "I Finally Copped"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

After fighting with myself for a few days. This has to be the most vanilla football game I've ever played. It doesn't play terribly, the graphics are passable, but there is just something missing in the atmosphere of the game.

Thank God for sliders, there are way too many CPU interceptions and fumbles. I've found a slider set I'm comfortable with, my first game out went well. Why so many damn options pre-snap on D? You don't have time to even make all those adjustment 9 out of 10 plays. Running the ball has improved a bit, you can actually hit a damn hole now.

They need to have two guys in the announcer booth, the one announcer they do have is dull as fuck.

Overall it's a decent game don't know how long it will keep my interest though.

I think lowering the tackling slider somewhat cuts down on the fumbles. Last game I played against the Chiefs, I had one fumble the whole game. Going to play a few more with the silders I'm using to see if I get about the same results.

220. "You can limit your fumbles by adhering to two rules:"
In response to Reply # 219


  

          

1) Only using truck stick or other moves when 1-1.....you will get nailed by the secondary defender if you do it in a crowd, often leading to fumbles.

2) USE Y TO COVER UP THE BALL....not only does it seriously reduce the fumble rate, but you can break a grip of tackles with it as well(esp if you have a power back).

This mugfucker and his 76 carry was just KILLING me....and then add in the fact that he has a 71 injury, anytime a linebacker got through the D-line, he was either fumbling or getting hurt. Seriously, duke had a bruised shoulder, dislocated finger, hip pointer, and ankle sprain all in the SAME MUGFUCKING GAME! (not to mention 2 fumbles).

Needless to say, I just deal Gore for Maroney who has a 86 carry, 91 injury, same truck, ridiculous stiff arm (97), and 1 better acceleration. Laurence doesnt have nearly the catch (57 vs 78), but Im sure the trainer will thank me for the deal.

The game just doesnt compare to the ps2 version when you factor in the lack of defensive adjustablity and inefficient playmaker controls, the most retarded O-line play ive ever seen (how many times will a gaurd or tackle simply let their man go right around them, and other times they will just disengage their block for no fucking reason), ineffective d-line controls, and missing some very fun featurers that the ps2 has(the new mini-games on the ps2 are great).

The ps2 version of 2008 is the best Madden ever imo.

But after 20 games of screaming at my 0-line, looking at replays and wondering wtf was going on, trying to figure out how the best DT in the game(Tommie Harris) cant get any penetration or even hold his spot on the line, and essentially elevating my blood pressure for hours at a time....I realized enough is enough, and this shit is going back to pay for Halo 3.
