Yes, the developers have finally brought everything together into a fully realized, cohesive whole, starting with the graphics. We

I wonder if they have improved on the running game

[lpsevier]

I may actually have to buy a system to play it on.

[High 5]

It's the same thing every year. I'll believe it when I see it.

[tclg]

I am going to be spending alot of time with 2k8

[SportsWorld]

I could care less about gameplay, it's all about the franchise mode which has sucked since 2005.

true. but i do believe this year's madden is a good one.

espn 2k5 for lyfe.

I've been playing that game for soooooooooooo long.

I prefer the Madden game, but I'm looking for improvements. The franchise mode has been a let down of late, I'd also like to see more out of the draft. More of the combine, more drills you can run.

[Darth Celtic]

wouldn't care about drills and stuff, but the draft and franchise modes have been worse as of late. And the fact that the cardinals are still ranked higher overall then the bears, wow.

That's what gets me about madden, they are always way off with there overall team rankings. Even with live updates, they can't get it right.

Exactly, everything since has just sucked

Yeah, I was enjoy the non-game playing aspect of Franchise mode as well...
sometimes I like to just sim the games and play the role of a GM...
I wish they would make the salary cap situations, and the transactions markets a bit more deeper...

I do that all the time, it's pretty fun. The thing that annoys me is that the defense drops so many interceptions. That annoys the hell out of me, I would really like to see that improved.

[Fatty]

only care about Franchise mode, which will probaly suck

[HMFFL]

I'm going to pass on Madden once again this year, not because it's Madden, but because I don't have any interest to put my time towards a football game.

[Wizards2Lottery]

The franchise mode is so cheap though. Every player I draft ends up in the high 90's or at complete 99.

Teams like the Lions and Browns are always picking in the top 5 and draft a QB EVERY SEASON and they all turn into busts.

Even the create a superstar mode sucked. No commentary and the player control sucked too. The camera angle, especially for safeties and QB's SUCKED.

[HMFFL]

Always consider changing the sliders if you have any issues with the game play of not only Madden but even the K series during the past. It helps and allows the game to be much more competitive.

[01Magic01]

I'll either buy madden or NCAA, gotta see which one's better. NCAA is looking strong with the trick plays.

[SportsWorld]

I loved the ESPN games with SportsCenter recaps every week.
I wish Madden would get rights to this. The game would be amazing.

[studcrackers]

i think im getting ncaa this year i got it in '06 skipped last year. i havent played madden more than 10 times in the past 2 years probably.

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.
