Madden 08

everyone tells me it's really overrated, like usual. any one on here have it? if it's not superb im just gonna pick up madden 07 cheap instead of wasting money on the new one (i held out on 07 to wait for 08)

Why does every american play and care so much about madden? Its like 5 seconds of action and then stadning still for 10 seconds again. Go play soccer, 45 minutes of action!

Bah, madden, bah EA

Or you could play World of Warcraft and get a good 100+ hours of action!

I kid, I kid.

so... whats new with madden 08?

It probably sucks even more?[lol][lol][lol][lol][lol][lol][lol]

not that i give a chuff about american football, but quoting from the wiki article....

A new branching animation system allows dynamic gameplay for the first time in the franchise. Players are no longer locked into animations but are now controlled more by the players.

Features of the new animation system include mid-air collisions, big-time, one-handed catches, hurdles, sideline catches and gang tackling.

Madden 08 brings back some features for its online play; for example, there will be a return of Season Mode and tournaments held online. Another updated feature ????????? dubbed Hit Stick 2.0 ????????? will allow players to hit high or low by flicking the analog stick up or down.

A new fatigue system has been implemented, disallowing users from taking a scrambling quarterback and running around behind the line of scrimmage for very long. Fatigue also plays a factor when cold-weather teams play in hot weather during the early months of the season.

Also returning to this years incarnation is the much sought after "co-op" play, which had found itself sitting on the sidelines since making the jump to the next-generation consoles. This mode finds players teaming up with a friend and taking on the CPU or two human opponents.

If you want a game where your not stoping all the time get greg hoffman paintball for the xbox. Don't know if its out on any other systems but my friend seth has it for the xbox and its sick.

im not a real sports playing gamer, more fps, or racing. I do like to play soccer games though.
