combatbengal Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Madden 08 came out yesterday. Last year, I ran out and bought it right away and really didn't like it. So I told myself that I would rent it this year to see if it was worth purchasing. I ran by blockbuster yesterday and picked it up. I will tell you that Madden 08 is the bomb! This is the best football video game ever made. The Bengals uniforms are sharp. They’ve learned how to pronounce TJ’s name. The WR hot routes were brought back. New celebrations for TD’s were added. One handed catches, toe dragging on the side lines and replays at half time were added. The hit stick is totally awesome now. Bottom line, I’m happy with this years game. Go Bengals.

agreen_112 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The game is sick!!! We played yesterday on a 61" DLP 1080p set and it was unbelievable. It looks great on my 42" DLP 720p set too. After we played the game for a couple hours, we threw in Madden '07 and demo'd it to see if there was any difference.... The differences were tremedous! Anyone that says there is no difference in the game from year to year is wrong, maybe they were right in the past, but this year's Madden is by far the best football game I've ever seen! This is on the Xbox 360 to, I'm a PS3 fan, but do not own one yet. They're saying that it looks better on the 360 because it's 60 fps and the PS3 is only 30 fps.

agreen_112 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Combat, what system are you playing on and what type of TV.BTW, since this is the Bengals thread, TJ, Chad, CP, Rudi, J. Johnson, J. Smith, J. Joeseph, C. HEnry, D. O'neal, Ghent, R. Kelly, are all really good. The uni's are sick looking, the pants are really sleek.The best part about the game is how fluid the players are, and the hits are really big and realistic as hell. They're movements look like real people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 This is on the Xbox 360 to, I'm a PS3 fan, but do not own one yet. They're saying that it looks better on the 360 because it's 60 fps and the PS3 is only 30 fps.That was a false rumor. I imagine it was started by an Xbox guy who wanted to win a meaningless debate as to which platform was better.I bought Madden 08 yesterday for PS3. It runs incredibly smooth - and considering the fact that I had Madden 07 for the PS2, I was amazed at the difference in quality. I played it first on my friends system (Not an HDTV), and then I got home and played it on mine (1080i)... yeah. It's pretty impressive.I will say however, that it seems like the sports games don't have the best programmers. Maybe it's because they know that sports fans will buy the games regardless, so the best programmers make the Tom Clancy games (the graphics on Rainbow 6 Vegas and GRAW 2 are better than any sports game I've ever seen). Sports games for some reason still look more cartoony than a lot of the 1st person shooters... but Madden 08 is by far the most impressive one I've seen yet.

Send a guy in motion and look to see if he kinda flickers as he's passing behind the linman/qb... I could really tell the difference in the fps by looking a this comparing'08 to '07... It's a good thing that you missed the last two Maddens on the next gen consoles, they sucked horribly. This Madden owns any sports game I've played up to date.

combatbengal Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have the Xbox 360 and a 64 inch screen. I haven't started a season yet and can't wait! I did play a couple of quick games though. Can't wait to start my training season. Oh, the wife bought it today for my b-day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got destroyed. Was doing pretty decent until 3 minutes left in the game and then I tried to do too much to erase the 6 points I was down and just totally screwed everything up.

I see birthdays today for PMThor (35), and GapControl (27), but none for you. Are you sure today's the day? j/k! to all of you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combatbengal Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Birthday is in Sept. Got an early gift from the wife. No, I haven't played live. I'd get killed! My son plays live though. I would like to down load the latest roster though. The game has Pollack in it. However, I did notice the C. Dillon is a free agent. No, I don't want him on my Bengal team.

Kazkal Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 It really peeves me that geathers is still behind smith on the depth chart rather then Brob. >_< ya I'd still have switch him in but jesus Christ Justin played 97% of defensive snaps last year so it's not like Jumpy has been relieving him for past 3 years.
