Good times... good times.

So I got Madden 08 largely because football season was quickly approaching and I was curious to see what football on the Wii would be like. Let me say this, it's flippin brilliant!
Everything I could want is here for my enjoyment. From a very indepth franchise mode that allows me to have all the options and control I could ask for, to the very enjoyable "Hall of Famer Mode".
The graphics are not going to blow anyone away, but they are good none the less. Maybe not next gen good, but they certainly do not detract from the experience.
Hall of Famer Mode is by far the coolest thing in my personal opinion and I honestly think if EA fleshes out what they are doing with the stuff that happens to your player outside of the football field, it could be outstanding. Already, the way it draws me in and makes me feel as though I am actually in the game is an awesome feeling.
As to glitches or bugs, there is one thing that I notice happens to me sometimes. For whatever reason, the disc will just stop reading at certain points. At first I thought it was just a dirty rental disc, but I have cleaned it numerous times since and still no luck. When it does this, simply popping the disc out and reinserting it will make it read again and I can continue on with no problems... until the next time. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why it does it or when it will happen. It annoys me when it happens, but immediately after starting to play again, it is forgotten.
All and all, this turned out to be far better than I expected and will be a definite buy for me.
