Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
I played it today for PS3 at a buddy's house, definitely not impressed. It seemed slow and choppy compared to PS2 05 and 06 games. I turned it over about 7 times in my first game, 4 picks thrown by Peyton. The new weapons thing doesn't seem very practical. I won't be playing this game at all.

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Got it for wii. I like it so far, but I haven't figured out how to play defense yet, just played 1 online game.
Minor quibble: Play selection screen sucks as it makes you use the joystick to select formations and plays which moves SLOWLY. Then if you get to the bottom of the formation or play list it doesnt cycle back to the top leaving you to go up manually. Edit: Dominated my opponent and still lost. He had 38 total yards, but my QB fumbled once and threw 3 picks. All of which were huge leaping interceptions of the type that shouldn't happen. |

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
turnovers are definitely a problem, I'm trying out different slider selections right now.
the play selection screen is terrible, yes. |

WII
------- Played one game of preseason on pro and won 27-10. Getting used to the Defense, haven't learned how to do play shifting yet (telling DB's to drop back/bump/etc), kicking now feels real easy, I did a Dragon Uppercut during my swing and didn't shank it. Devon Hester got 41 yards a KR,5 a PR, and about 80 yards catching with 1 TD. Planning on going online after I get the hang of the game a little better. Still waiting for those two Japanese business men to come over and challenge me. |

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Ok just got my first REAL loss. The guy was 5-0, and I ended up going up 17 - 10 at the first half. Then he pulls out the [censored] [censored] tricks.
I was the Seacocks and they don't have shotgun form. Not a big deal. BUT he started lining all his guys up to the line and crowded the middle. I was like uhh ok no problem I'll just throw quick outs. NOPE! Everytime I dumped the ball off quick his corner picked it off (2x), and if I waited for my receivers to shake the corners they were already sacked. If I ran to the outside he somehow had guys in my backfield. Running up the middle obviously didn't work, and play action was a disaster, it was like his guys were in my face from the second I snapped the ball, just walking through my offensive line which is solid. He was the [censored] giants for [censored] sake. Thumbs down to bug abusers, or just unfairness in the way the game is made. Also I just whooped some guy 35 - 7 and he conceded defeat, I accepted to take the win and end the game, and the game just sits there for like 5 minutes. I had to go back to dashboard, so that's all the live I'll be playing for a little while. Pretty disapointed. Also for anyone who hasn't played it, get ready for some laggy ass online play. I wouldn't have paid 60 bucks for the game if I knew playing online was going to be eevn queerer than 07. Also, does anyone know a way to put mp3 files on your xbox hard drive? Or is the only way you can get music on your 360 from ripping actualy music cds? |

Cheesers are the reason why I quit Madden in the first place, it infuriates me.

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Here's the question:
When it comes time for tournament/gambling play against another person... will you be turning this "strengths" and "smart QB/LB" stuff off? |

Re: **Official Madden 08 Thread**
Some people came over and played the game at my place tonight. I don't really get why people like it so much, but I might get flamed for that. It just looks boring and repetitive
