This is great for all fans of Madden. Amazing graphics and detail to the players, coaches, and stadiums. The achievements on this game are really easy to get as well. You must buy this if you like Madden.

Best Football Game On the Market

You gotta love Madden! 08 has some great new additions from last year. The most noticeable has to be the new "Weapons" feature which gives you an idea of what players strengths are (For example, Vince Young is a Speed player). Also, the new animations are good-looking and more realistic for the catches, tackles, etc. Although you seem to see those amazing catches a little to often and easily. Whenever I play I also noticed how many fumbles there are, especially in my case when I pass to the RB in the flat. But that might just be my problem. Haha. Also there doesn't seem to be much improvement to the Online Play. Regardless, Madden 08 is my favorite sports game I own and I have the most fun playing it. Go Madden!

I love the graphics! They are so much better than the Playstation 2 and gameplay is way more detailed! And Madden doesn't really point out the obvious, that kinda irritated me when i wasn't doing so well!

This game is amazing. It has everything from last year and more. The stars really do play like stars now. They have that extra ability and it shows in the game. This is the best football game out there!!!

Probably the best version ever.. Excessive interceptions without tweaking down the ratings a bit. Online play is a bit slower but excellent overall. Gang tackling and the running game are great too!

Finally EA sports gets Madden right. Not only do they keep the realism just like past games but with the new gaming engine they make the game fun and very responsive unlike Maddens of old.They took the time to make you enjoy playing this game over and over.In years past it seems like EA spent all their time creating life like players that weren't very life like and cramming all those player attributes that at times weren't very accurate that they forgot about the actual game play. I give Madden 08 5 stars. Finally a Madden with great graphics and animations and realism and most of all is very fun and great replayability(yeah I know I made up a new word).

I like being able to play online with this game and I actually just found the headset so that I can talk to people while I'm playing instead of just listening to everyone else!

Getting better

At first I really did not like this game but the more I played the more I started to like it. I think it is the most reallistic of all Madden games. I am disappointed in a few noticable gliches. Sometimes receivers will turn and not even make plays on balls and DE will run right past the QB. If they can patch a few of those loose ends up this game can be great.

This year's madden helps maden return to its top form. There are so many improvements that help it overrun anything in its way. It's cleary a top 10 game of 07

This is the best madden yet. The new features let you actually feel like your playing personally. I would recommend that if you have a 360 that you buy it.

This game gets you right into the action. You feel like your in the game making the hit yourself. The game is so much more realistic than ever. With the new hit stick, you can hit them high or low. The hits look crazy too. Also, now the great players really stand out. Like, Terrell Owens can make a crazy one handed catch and Ray Lewis can hit so hard it feels like getting hit by a brick wall. This game is the best madden yet and you have to go to your nearest BestBuy store and buy it.
