As a late arrival to the next gen consoles, I was eager to pick up the latest Madden and really see what has improved. Firstly, the graphics are AMAZING. Note: beads of sweat running down players necks, and grass fields being torn up during a game. Never has a 300lb man looked so beautiful. So, visually, no problems, very nice.
However... understanding EA sports games has always been difficult, and this is by far the most difficult one yet. The controls havn't been set out in a way which makes gameplay simple (trying to do too much with the extra shoulder buttons perhaps?), and are often slow to responed in game. For example, running backs are often tackled and fumble the ball (which happens A LOT) before attempting to spin, or ... Read More:

After recently updating consoles from PS2 to 360, I also updated my version of Madden NFL 08. All I was expecting was the same game with improved graphics. But I was pleasantly suprised. EA have taken everything that makes the Playstation version good and updated and improved on it. Good gameplay, specific playing styles and a realistic franchise mode.
Improvements include Hall of Fame mode, which actually has a license this time. So you get names, profiles, stats and even highlight reels for some players, instead of the very poor PS2 system of QB #2 for example. You can now improve your players stats weekly. In previous installments you could only improve one player per drill at the start of the season. Now you can train 3 players ... Read More:

Ive purchased the game twice because my first franhise kept crashing in the 3rd season of franchise mode- wasnt able to train players and the disk would crash in game situations.This is reason I purchased it a second time thinking it was just a bad disk but I had the same problem. Look around on the internet for reviews of customers who have played franchise mode and you will find it happens to everybody. EA acknowledges this glitch and the other 79 which are apparent throughout the game and have released a patch which means you have to pay a more money to heal an imperfect game which you have already paid &25-39 for. Buy the game for playing but if you want to get frustrated try and play franchise for 3 straight seasons. Apart from that the graphics ... Read More:

Firstly I got my new Xbox 360 for Christmas and I got this game with it. The graphics are amazing compared to the 07 version on PS2. But the gameplay is no way near as good.
Firstly fumbles occur way to often, for example some of the best backs in the league can fumble up to 5 times in a game. Furthermore, on a difficulty level greater than pro, you are always stopped behind the line for no gains even if you have a great offensive line :S.
When using passing plays, receivers like Randy Moss will drop the ball often and occasionally even get hit on the head by ball because he has not turned around to try and catch the ball.
On the 07 version, on franchise mode you got emails and newspapers and there was the Tony Bruno show. But in this ... Read More:

Out of all my 360 games this on gets easily the most playing time. I love the franchise mode having won the Superbowl with the Seahawks, I decided to create my own team (The Vegas Vipers) and have a go at building a great team from scratch, and this is even more rewarding than pick an already existing team. There is already enough reviews stating the ins and outs of the games but I just felt I had to praise this game. Have a go creating your own teams its great!
BTW I have noticed on forums people having trouble using a created team in franchise mode. If this is the case, Go to start new franchise and on the screen where you pick a team press Y to load your team, you will have to pick a team to remove from the current teams.
