Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
[ QUOTE ]
Got it at midnight, and I'm not really impressed. It's the same thing it's been for three straight years now. I play nothing but Franchise Mode, and it hasn't changed a bit (the updated rosters are nice, but that's it). Player trades are still horribly overpriced, and they still haven't updated pick trading to line up with the pick value chart (someone just dealt the 1-8 and 3-8 for the 1-1, but I can barely move up to the 1-23 when I package the 1-25, 3-25, and 5-25 together). Other FM problems: corners are still super easy to grow from sixth round picks to 99's in like three seasons...every [censored] offensive lineman, defensive lineman, and cornerback is rated between 80 and 95...they still force you to go dollar-by-dollar when upping your offer to a free agent (seriously, it takes me five minutes to make a good offer because I have to move the thing $4 million to the right)...free agents still want ridiculous salaries, even during the season when they have no job...MLB's make a lot of money, but OLB's make very little...safeties are ridiculously underpaid, and DT's are ridiculously overpaid...UFA's get paid more than 6th and 7th round draft picks...it is almost impossible to grow a second day QB into a starter...the list goes on and on. This might be my last year of buying the new game. (Also, I'm terrible on defense, and I can still beat the [censored] out of the computer on everything but All-Madden. That's really the only challenging level, IMO, if you actually have a football mind and aren't just picking random plays.) [/ QUOTE ] What system? |

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Anyone wanna give a Wii trip report? Should be getting my copy in a week or two. Is it worth getting if the last time I played a Madden was 2003?

Getting mine right now. 360 version. If anyone wants to battle, PM me your gamertag or just add gamertag: Killerwa1ski (the 2nd 'L' is a one - [censored] you MS).

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Just got it for the Wii. Didn't get 07, so getting used to the controls. Not bad though, only Madden I hated this decade was 01-02. Playing one season on pro, then I'll move up to AP.
Decided to practice some KR's with Hester (I always pick CHI) against NE. I ran it back every other time. I have to get used to the kicking though. I keep shanking to the left. |

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
As long as it has Fantasy Draft for 360, I'm sure it'll be fine. Not including fantasy draft the last 2 years was the dumbest thing. At least they fixed it this year, according to previous posts.

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Got it last night at midnight and love it so far. The defense is definitely tougher in All-Pro. I just won 21-10 w/ the Broncos and all three touchdowns were pick-6. I'm an average to good Madden player and this is going to take some getting used to. Havn't played online yet but I'm about to.

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
I just won my first game on Pro, 28-16 Jets over Dolphins.
Scoring Summary: 98-yard INT for TD with Andre Dyson 99-yard KO runback for a TD with Leon Washington (two sick highlight stick moves) Sweet little 30-yard hookup for a score from Pennington to Cotchery and finally... Nice little 4-yard bruiser-type run with Thomas Jones. Love the game thus far! |

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Fumbled on the first kickoff of my first game
4 turnovers total do I suck or are there just way too many fumbles this year. Playing as Dallas. |
