QFT But you also forgot that in order to be truly hardcore and a mature gamer you must alos buy 12 sequels of FF, 10 different FPS games which look the same and ABSOLUTELY must be under 18 so you can spend your time online bashing 30 year olds who own multiple systems and are also graphics whores but enjoy a lil time with "casual" games like Bejweled or Wii Sports. Apparently companies have to dumb down their products to sell to us because we're not under 18 and HARDCORE!!!!
I would say the last few Maddens (at least next gen) were very weak. But this one is considerably better. It's why I'm going to stick with this one as opposed to the previous versions. Also, All Pro is more a novelty than anything else. The gameplay was fine, but doesn't have much replay value. With no type of franchise mode, real players/teams, I personally lose a lot of the time I spend with a sports game. APF is fine, but not $60 fine.
Yeah, the college baseball game on PS2 a few years ago played ESPN radio updates when you loaded the game up.
Seems like you are more impressed with presentation over gameplay. The only specifics you stated was all the presentation touches. I thought they were cool, but after the 5th time I saw them, I skipped them. I thought APF's gameplay was stale and old. Just my opinion and I have actually played APF. Unlike many of the detractors of Madden 2008 who haven't even played the game.
all pro 2k8 isnt a bad game, but i think people overrate it as well, more out of this weird hate for madden than the greatness of the 2k game itself. i wish madden would rebuild from the ground up instead of just adding and tweaking things. if it wasnt for the wii gameplay i wouldnt be buying it
FWIW, I always agreed that the PS3 was more difficult to develop for. I'm not even sure I could really come up with anything to refute that statement. I just questioned how much more difficult it was...mostly in the form of the tools and support offered by Sony vs Microsoft (or, more specifically, the Sony of now vs the Sony of old).
I like 2K8, but I dont know if I like it as much as 2K7, maybe its just cause I'm not used to it yet. I am no Madden fan, but this one was the best in a while. That being said, I still think it was very mediocre. I like 2K8 much better than madden 08
Yeah im curious about the ps3 version. I was going to go pick it up after work, but im hearing its not a good. I thought last years version was ok.
was it just me of did defensive live moves and moving aroundin the pocket seem a little "off" in 2k8? I couldnt pass the ball that well, but i ran the hell out of it with earl http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2007-08-13-madden-nfl-08_N.htm
Yeah, I couldnt shift the line like u could with the last one. And maybe it was just the qb I used (Unitas), but it was tough to run around in the pocket.
it was that way for everyone i used. generic guy and warren. I'd tap the stick and he would move 6 feet.
no. just waiting for the wr to get down field, id try to move over a bit and it just didnt respond well. i only played a few games though.
HAHA! I didn't know if I should get it or not since I just got NCAA. But my alma mater just randomly sent me a check for $50 even though I graduated over a year ago. I did a bunch of little 30 minute gigs for the university, some of which I may not have been paid for since the university had to do paperwork and crap and mail the checks. Anyway, it's $50 I wasn't expecting so I figured why not pony up the extra $15 and get it. So I did. First Madden game for me in probably 10 years.
Madden is so great at hyping a game up and suckering me and others into buying it every august, just to be greatly disappointed a week later. I hate EA for that, I hate my temptation 'give in' characteristic even more. Every year I lose around 60 bucks, handing it out for a 4 by 7 inch case of trash. Damn you madden and your complete football suckiness.. Anyways on a bright note, I can't wait for NBA 2K8!!!!! every year I would gladly drop 120$ to have that great game.. Infact I literally tell myself and let myself believe that 2k8 is actually 120$ so I forget about the cash I wasted on Madden.
