Customer Reviews
Stick with Madden 2007
You may by now have heard
that EA has killed Madden for the PC, and you are looking to buy a copy
before it goes completely extinct. I'll keep this short and mildly
enraged- Madden 2008 is the same program, but somehow with MORE bugs
than 2007. How they did that I don't know. They clearly never cared
about the PC game. The same stupid bugs appeared year after year, like a
department store Santa with syphillus. But I bought both programs and
compared them and Madden 2008 is now in the garbage.
For what
it's worth.
A little disappointing
After watching all the hype, I
eagerly awaited the August 14th release of Madden 08. I bought the game
for PC the day it was released and right away I had problems with it.
The installation went well, but then '08 would not run ("Security Module
could not be activated:7001"). After an hour I finally found a fix by
deleting some registry files. Expecting something close to the XBox 360
or PS3 version of '08, I was saddened to see the same menu screen as
last year's Madden 07 PC version. I played several games and noticed
very few differences from last year's PC version. Like anothre review
said, the roster s were updated and there were 1 or 2 new graphical
tweaks, but for the most part I felt like was playing Madden 07. Player
movements are still slightly awkward and there are some clipping issues.
A lot of hyped features like gang-tackling are noticeably absent from
Madden 08 PC. I've played Madden 08 on the XBox360 and I gotta say the
console version is way smoother and much more entertaining. If you have
an option, skip the PC version of Madden 08 and go with the Xbox 360 or
PS3 version.
Stick With Madden 07
I've gotten used to being
dissapointed by recent Madden releases but 08 was supposed to be
different, right?....Wrong, dead wrong for the PC version. Other than a
couple mediocre graphic additions it is essentially just a roster
update. If you've heard about changes to franchise mode, player weapons,
etc. forget about them, because absolutely nothing changes from the 07
version. I'm especially dissapointed by franchise mode...in my opinion
the only aspect of the game worth playing more than a couple hours. For
some reason Madden thinks players improve by playing on winning
teams...rather than teams win because players improve. Four years into
the season every player on the saints, rams, patriots, colts and any
other team with a couple playoff appearances has awareness ratings of
99. The salary cap is so high you never need to cut a player, and while
drafting the CPU teams still offer ridiculous trades every 30 seconds.
Screens are still ineffective, defenders turn into blockers, receivers
can't stay in bounds, quarterbacks can't evade rushers, and don't even
think about the tuck rule. I'm definitely not buying another madden for
PC until they make some major changes. If you have the option, the PS3
gameplay is probably tops (in the next generation systems 08 is a decent
improvement).
