Corcaigh Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 So far we've enjoyed it. I agree that interceptions are more common, but in previous versions the gameplay was just stupid. You could throw passes to highly rated receivers and no matter what the coverage, a catch would be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyholetsgogrant Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Ok, I got madden yesterday.It sucks. The end. Seriously, I've always called it like I see it. All Pro 2k8 is not a perfect football game, but it is way more realistic than Madden. Maybe if I hadn't played 2k8, I'd like this years madden, but oh well. If anyone wants to buy my 360 copy and save 15 bucks, let me know. I tend to agree, Madden every year gets swallowed into the hype and everyone goes ballistic. The game play mediocre, with controls that can be frustrating at times. The Run Game can be extremely hard to establish and passing is inconsistent, there was a stretch where I had like 10 missed passes in a row. The announcing is half assed and sound as if they put no time into it. The stadiums look horrendous and the people in the stands look non-existent. Since I bought it at BJ's wholesale Club I might end up bringing it back...2k sports was way better... Edit*** WAYYYYY TOO many turnovers, I had 2 INTs with Fred Smoot in one quarter!, Freds not that good! SMOOOOT! -Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidenreich Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I got Madden tuesday, and I haven't even opened it yet. This thread doesn't make it look like I'm going to run home & open it tonight either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread doesn't make it look like I'm going to run home & open it tonight either.... The early Reviews bought wayyyy wayyy too much into the hype, this game is nowhere near what the media reviews are saying. I will say this, its is an improvement over last years game, but I'm sick of dropping $60 on madden every year, only to be disappointed. -Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I can understand that dude's feelings in that video. He's absolutely right, EA does this **** every year. EA's entire business model is to buy the naming rights and then half ass the game and laugh all the way to the bank. I think this is probably the last madden I'm buying for awhile. When does EA's exclusive license for the NFLPA run out? I'm so tired of these lazy ****s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackest Eyes Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I thought 07 sucked the big one for the 360. However I am getting 08 in a week and I am pretty pumped about it. I just hope it is better than 07. And people...IT IS A VIDEO GAME! Granted everyone wants a game that is a simulation or whatever but its a video game folks. They are supposed to be fun.

GrapeApe Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 My coworker just got the PC version and had issues installing it on his computer. It kept saying directX 9.0c wasn't installed when in fact it was. So I had to look at a solution for him and found it. Apparently others are seeing this. Just a note, in case some people buy it for the PC. I don't know if the work around works yet (he'll try it tonight). This is the work around I gave him to try E:\autorun.exe -DXInstalled where E: is his DVD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have yet to have a consistent problem with turnovers. I throw some picks cuz I throw into coverage... I've played a few games that were 13-10 and such. Good defensive battles that have maybe 2 turnovers. The reason I say I haven't encountered consistent issues is because in 2 games, for a 2 minute in game stretch both teams fumble repeatedly. Every time someone touches it they fumble. That's the only glitch I've found so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm0304 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Got the pc version tonight and it installed, ran and played great. Was a lil disappointed that it seems identical to 07 with a few different twists but is a good game and i am enjoying it. Beat miami 1st week 40 - 23 lol.

Shadowplay Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 It seems a lot harder than the NCAA game. I like that you can manage a bunch of different franchises at once. Could the older versions of the game do that? San Diego receivers are terrible. Brandon Lloyd ain't much better. In my franchise, Santana went down in the first pre-season game with a broken jaw - gone for ten weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be expected when you didn't read the book & was learning on the fly. I like it so far. I'm not going to cream over it, but I'm not going to bash the S out of it either......

MrSilverMaC Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I played the 360 version last night, and it is ridiculously better than the last version, but it still needs to fix a few things. I hate the play calling screen as I play my friends at their houses and not online, making easier for them to guess where the play is going.

skinsfan07 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 IMO NCAA 08 is better. But I just got Madden today so maybe it takes some getting used too. IDK but NCAA just seems so clean and crisp and smooth and I love everything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK but NCAA just seems so clean and crisp and smooth and I love everything about it. I just picked up Madden today for PS2, but haven't played it yet. I have loved NCAA though and have been playing it a ton. I'm very interested to see if Madden is any better, but I'm psyched to get my Skins franchise goin.
