Hooper Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/maddennfl08 Sounds like there's finally a great next-gen football game. Especially on the 360 because of the 60 frames per second (PS3 is only 30FPS for some reason). Can't wait. Hopefully virtual Jon Jansen can block.

Especially on the 360 because of the 60 frames per second (PS3 is only 30FPS for some reason). Can't wait. Hopefully virtual Jon Jansen can block. i read a review of someone that got the game early, and he said that the 30FPS is blown way out of proportion... he said that the game ran smooth... so if 30fps was smooth then 60fps has to be mega-smooth... basically, i was happy to hear that, 'cause i was worried at first to pick up the ps3 version and was thinking about skipping madden this season for the first time in 7 years... :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 [Nerd] I'll pick up a copy for my Wii. It has special mini games too![/Nerd] Yes! Someone else is getting it for Wii. We need to play online. I don't understand why the Wii and 360 versions are @ 60 fps and PS3 isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Every year I've bought Madden I've enjoyed it. Probably because I don't pick through it with a fine tooth comb. There's always some little stuff wrong with it, but it's always a good game, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattGeorge85 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I genuinely hope that EA tweaks the play engine. Madden 06 and 07 for the 360 felt more like an arcade game than the PS2 version. For reason beyond my explanation physics feel more accurate on the older platforms (particulary hitting and catching). It's entirely possible that a different design team created the next-gen version. Regardless IMHO the PS2 version has essentially clowned the 360 version (minus the graphics) and I own them both. Furthermore how long are we going to have to wait to get some throwback jerseys in the next-gen version. They have been including them in the PS2 version for years. I refuse to spend money on X-Box Live Marketplace due to the fact that the 360 version costs ten dollars more. I really do enjoy these games so I'm not going to hate 360 version too much. I would just like to see EA offer the superior product that I feel that we are entitled to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Another Wiier here, I didn't know the Wii version was at 60fps. Where did you hear that? Nintendo World Report http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/mailbagArt.cfm?artid=14168 "And naturally, it runs at 60 frames a second. (What did you think it was, a PS3 game?) It is much cleaner and prettier at a glance when comparing it to Madden 07, and if you take the time to look around, the differences will stand out immensely." When you get the game give me a PM so we can play online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TRUTH DETECTOR Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I got Madden 08..Its the best Madden ever.Got it off newsgroups.Some retailers here in Charlotte are already selling it under the table.They finally have gotten it right.Have retro jerseys as well.Its a great game and Im a 2k5 guy.Best Madden ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 How about older stadiums? I dont wanna pay money to get RFK etc. I really hope they fixed some bugs in the '07 incarnation. Balls that travel through body parts, and when you see different views of the stadium but can't return to pick a play come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading a few of the reviews from people that got it early, I decided to throw down $5 on it yesterday.

ImmortalDragon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I got 08 for Wii, and it is a complete joke. There is nothing different than the graphics and the designs. There are way too many glitches, this is seriously a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Williams Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 for overall game play ironically enough the ps2 beats both the 360 and the ps3 this year again..... I don't care how pretty the players look if the gameplay is SLOW as dirt...... I'm gonna try the Wii soon.....maybe that is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna try the Wii soon.....maybe that is better I haven't played the 360 version but I played the other 3. For Wii, I don't know, the controls are really difficult, I had a hard time playing it. I think the PS2 version still offers the best gameplay. 08 for PS2 feels like a much smoother running, cleaned up version of 07. The animations and player interactions, as well as the AI, are much improved but the overall gameplay is very similar. I'm quite happy with it. The only disappointing part is that it doesn't have the expanded rating system that the 360 and PS3 versions have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneBoost Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 IMO it's a great game, I like it a lot, moves a lot faster than 07 which I had to get use to, but I actually like it, I press Y to jump and they jump, not bull**** lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I like it. Definitely like it more than the '07. I have it for the 360 now and am still debating on whether to get it for the Wii also..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
