but its really not much different from year to year. when i was reading about it, it sounded cool but it always sounds cool with the things they're implementing into the game but you never seem to notice many things different.


NCAA games suck. NCAA 07 was terrible.

I wish Madden would get rights to this. The game would be amazing.


Remember ESPN 2k football? I loved the franchise for the short time it was out. 2k5 had a cool feature were you could actually play inside the players helmet... cool stuff

The thing that always pissed me off was how they took out luring players out of retirment. Maybe it's just me but I loved that feature and have been ticked off about it since.

LOL.

I was pretty sure it was but now you got me second guessing myself. Maybe it was a 2K feature? Regardless they need to include it or bring it back!

lol. I've been playing the Madden series since the 02 edition and I can't recall that, or maybe I was just dumb enough to never figure it out.

Here are my wishes for Madden 08:

I hope they fix the blocking in returns in punts and kick-offs, that needs serious help....also add some awareness to the CBs and S, they were dumb as hell back in 07....fix the running game as well, it's a bit too easy for my liking....and have the computer actually do some trades once in a while in Franchise.

Madden 08 needs to have a fantasy draft feature.
07 lacked it.

It gets boring after like 4 months of playing with the same team over and over again so fantasy drafts mix things up.
