"I feel robbed, use to look at EA as the best....."
Pros: New NFL football game.
Cons: Only NFL game offered, extra $$$ FOR NOTHING!!!
Summary: I agree with 'COLMABOY' 100%, I wasted my money on two Madden 08 games, one for Xbox 360 & my PC. I find Madden 08 for the Xbox 360 to be harder to play than 07 with no true improvements. And the pc Madden 08 version is just a $40 roster upgrade, the graphics and the play are the same! What EA should have done was spend the money on improving the play, features, & graphics of the game instead of giving it to the NFL. 08's halftime highlights is a joke when compared to NFL 2K5's Chris Berman highlights. I mean if you can't get Chris, how about Terry, Howie, Jimmie, Troy, Deion, Greg, need I say more! I only bought the pc version of Madden 08 because it is compatible w/ Vista. What a waste of $$$. Can't wait until the contract is up so Visual Concepts can develop a real NFL Football game (NFL 2K9 possible?).

I have been playing Madden since 1995. I find it very frustrating that year after year I have to relearn how to play Madden. I should have the choice to keep the same control configuration from one year to the next, and turn all the new crap off. The 360 is supposedly a next generation console, so why are there less features instead of more. I want to be able to save a game at any point, like in the Maddens before the 360. I want Football 101 back, just because it was fun. I don?t want silly passing cones or icons under my players. I believe that if it aint broke; please don?t fix it for the sake of change. EA should make the graphics better, fix the glitches and keep the AI from cheating when you are ahead (the AI starts to make unreal plays and makes you fumble even when you are protecting the ball). That?s my opinion.
