Madden NFL 08 (Playstation 2)

Madden NFL 08: Another great release by EA Sports with the new madden 08. This game has improved graphics, gameplay and also online play. Deeper franchise modes and superstar careers makes this game an A+

My son had asked for this item, and this item was exceptionally priced. The game is in perfect condition, no problems and my son is having a ball playing with his friends.

The game is a step up from the good old Game Day series, boy I miss them. Learning again how to run the offense is perfect with this game because the drills allow you to practice without having to get frustrated with the computer when you try to call an audible or lead a receiver. The music is pretty good too, surprised me to hear Ozzy blaring in the background. Only let down was the juke function, had to nearly hit every button on the controller until I was able to see what "R" meant because the manual sure didn't point it out. Over all its a good game, I keep reminding myself it will be a while before I can stomp the computer again.

I love football.I lost my other one. so i bought this one to replace it. I recamend this seller to anyone.

great fast shipping cheep price........ I would do bizzz with them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had been wanting this item for some time and found it on e Bay for a much lower price. The game even tho being used is in good working condition. I buy here and save, save, save over the retail market.

This is just yet another great game in the long standing history of the Madden phenomonon! This game is HIGHLY reccommended!

i have all the madden games and this once again is better then ever! i also have madden 08 for psp. i would recommend this to you.

THE GRAPHICS ARE GOOD, AND THE GAMEPLAY IS GREAT. THE GAME STALLS SOMETIMES, BUT IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL. OVERALL, A GOOD BUY FOR THE PRICE.

My boys own all of the madden football games for playstation 2 and they are never disappointed we look forward t buying the new one each year. i highly recommended it for the young and young at heart.

I am impressed by the fast service they provide. The condition of the cd was exactly what was described.

i love john madden football i play it 24/7 and i am just really happy that the game was in brand new condition

My son is a total gamer! This habit can get VERY expensive. This game is this years release and we got it for cheap cheap cheap!!! I will not look anywhere else for my son!

playing madden is like you are in the game, playing on line doing practice skills, the picture on players are much clearer as oppose to other football games.

As in previous Madden NFL games, this edition has improved since the last one. The game has become more real-like with time of defenses you can play.

I love the life-like maneuvers. The last time I purchased the a Madden game was Madden 98. So it's been 10 years. Unless I just haven't found it yet, I don't like the fact that you can play the same exact regular season that your favorite team had

It was here on time, and in good shape.Grandson is very happy.Helove his (playstation2) look forward to doing more buisness with this person in the very near future.
Thank you

My husband loves this game. He is happy to have purchased it. We got it at a great deal because it was used but it was in fabulous condition. Wonderful game!

the price of the item was great, the shipping charges where acceptable and the seller had great reviews in thier profile.

This was an excellent purchase for me, everything about it price, condition, I bought it as a gift for my grandson who was very pleased when I gave him the game. Perfect transaction, thanks

My son purchased a Playstation 2 and we saw th game and realized the value of the product compared with the price and that equaled excellent. Would recommend this game to others. Everything about the purchase and quality of the game are excellent to say the least.

By this point, you’ve probably read countless articles on TeamXbox and other gaming sites talking about how the first few next-gen Madden titles didn’t [insert tired football analogy here]. It’s not like the games were bad or anything, it was just that they weren’t up to our lofty expectations. Before out first demo of this year’s game, many of my fellow editors and I were all ready to dump a cooler full of Haterade on it. However, even at that early stage, we had a feeling that we were finally seeing the game that we had been waiting on for 3 years. The only question was whether or not the team at Tiburon could follow through and give us what we wanted. Let’s find out if they did, shall we?

While some people care more about stuff like the Franchise and Owner modes, this editor is all about heading onto the field for some action between the lines. It’s here where Madden NFL 08 truly shines, as it offers the best action we’ve ever seen in a football game. Thanks in part to the new Hit Stick 2.0 (which allows you to tackle a ballcarrier either high or low), you’ll be able to dish out some absolutely brutal hits, and there will actually be moments when you wince after your star RB crumples to the ground. On the offensive side, your wideouts and tight ends will realistically twist their bodies to reach for thrown balls and will drag their toes if making a catch while falling out of bounds. All told, this game features some stellar animations that, while not always noticeable, help to make the proceedings feel much more authentic.

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2007 Super Bowl Champions!


For the most part, the on-field controls haven’t changed very much, aside from a few new mechanics like the ball strip and “hurdle control” which is implemented by, you guessed it, hitting the hurdle button. However, if you’re one of those players that know the difference between a hot route and a Hot Pocket, you’ll be happy to learn that there are a number of new mechanics that give you great control over your team. On the defensive side of the ball, you can now “spotlight” receivers, which makes it easier to shutdown superstar wideouts. Beware though, as that will usually leave another guy open.

The biggest new gameplay mechanic is the Weapon system, which is a great way to make star players stand out from the benchwarmers. There are a bunch of different categories that player can fall into, and they'll excel in those particular areas. Rather than giving the player super powers that can be used or some nonsense like that, they are simply better than their peers. For instance, Randy Moss will leap higher than an average player, Rodney Harrison will hit harder, and Lawrence Maroney can lower his shoulder to power through tackles. The only exceptions are the ones that allow QBs to occasionally read a defense and linebackers to see what play is coming, but you (thankfully) won't be able to use those very often. It's a great system, one that we hope makes it into future games.

Superstar mode has returned in Madden 08, and the developers have obviously taken some of the criticisms leveled at them from fans to heart. You’ll now be able to take control of one of the studs in this year’s rookie class in an attempt to turn him into a Hall of Fame caliber player. Unfortunately, there’s no “embarrassing web photo” minigame for all of the wannabe Brady Quinns out there, though we’re hopeful that it’ll appear in next year’s iteration.
Overal Rating: Perfect 10/10

If you like madden any other year this one is the best so far.

My son loves the game and I love the price. We paid only $15.99 with free shipping for a brand new game - still in the plastic/package - when at WalMart we would have paid over $49.99.
Great prices! Thanks for the opportunity to save over $35.00!

This is a great game with real life action and its just great. This game has some great action and the play calling is good.
