OK the visuals the updates and the game modes are good, but the actual gameplay is bad. The turnovers works for you and against you. You will have at least 3 or more turnovers every game...... For each turnover. Fumbles and interceptions. When do you ever see a fumble on a kickoff to a receiver? Rarely. When do you ever make an interception, run all the way back to the one and get tackled in the enzone and you fumble the ball when you jump in? Turnovers can change how the game plays. The radio announcer dude sucks. No commentary, No Special Announcements. Nothing where's John and Michael? Where's the play by play commentary? Where the drive summary that you see while you playing? Where are all the other things that people took for granted on PS2 and Xbox, but they miss on next gen? Like simple things. Only random pass plays when practicing? The onscreen fumble and interception tag? You only get a chance to see the turnovers when the screen flips to the other team. The first down hot routes that when you need that first down you can use? What about when you can run any special team back for a touchdown? On Next Gen you have no chance. The Fan View when you score a touchdown? The fake field goal and punt passes and runs? Two minute drills? Where are all those things and more? Where did they go? You have Three Powerful Next-Gen systems but you can't reach expectations? They getting slack. Madden 08 is a great game but the overall gameplay needs a lot more work then what all these other people are saying.

This is what we've been waiting for. True next-gen graphics, gameplay. What took you so long EA? Thank goodness!

The only beef I have with this years Madden (that's down to 1 from last years 50+) is that there's no newspaper like there is in the college game. I love the newspaper! EA, make this fanboy smile and add a newspaper option in a game update before the season starts!

the worst madden game i have ever played. it does not want you to be able to throw the football at all. very inconsistent. it is not very fun in any way.
