Great game, but 1080i HD owners be warned!
17 of 26 people found this review helpful.
Lead your favorite team to a Super Bowl championship as you manage your roster, customize your playbook and conquer a grueling schedule. Take the field as your favorite NFL superstars, and experience the rush of launching a game-winning pass or making a quarterback eat turf on fourth and goal. Relish the genuine sights and sounds of the NFL as you sprint for pay dirt in authentic stadiums. It's pain and passion; chemistry and catastrophe. It's watching your dreams go out on a stretcher and fighting for inches that feel like miles. It's the hard-hitting, nerve-rattling world of NFL football as only Madden can deliver. It's the game the players play.
Feel what it's like to be a field general making key personnel decisions on both sides of the ball during the game's biggest moments in Madden NFL 08. Quickly identify your strongest players on the field before every snap then move them into position to make game-changing, momentum-altering plays. Play to your team's strengths by immediately reading your opponent's schemes and reacting to the action as soon as the ball is snapped.
I have not played the game yet, but know that it is released in 720p. If you own an HDTV that only does 1080i the game will downscale to 480p on the PS3. Also, if you have a 1080p HDTV, it will not be making full use of your resolution capabilities. EA has again been lazy in their development creating the game for the 360 and then porting it to the PS3. If you own either of these types of televisions, and aren't a major fan of the game I wouldn't buy it. If you are like me on the other hand and love Madden regardless of the graphics, it's a must have for the fall gaming season.

One of the Best to Date, but can be Improved UponReview created: 08/17/07

9 of 11 people found this review helpful.
The past couple next-gen versions of Madden have been basically the same game just with roster updates. This is not the case with Madden 08. Fantasy draft is back and trophy case has been added. But, a very noticeable difference from the Xbox 360 version of this game and the PS3 version is the FPS, or Frames Per Second. Madden 08 runs at 60 frames per second on the Xbox 360 and 30 frames per second on the PlayStation 3. There have been many complaints that the PS3 version and PS2 version are the exact same thing. The game is not as smooth as most would like on the PS3 but it is still a great game. Also, because of the new animation system, you are no longer locked into animations and you have more control over your players. Features of the new animation system include mid-air collisions, one-handed catches, hurdles, sideline catches and gang tackling. Season Mode and tournaments have also been added to online play. The Hit Stick 2.0 allows players to hit high or low by flicking the right analog stick up or down. In addition, the fatigue factor has been fixed in this year's game. No more scrambling around with your quarterback for 2 minutes without getting tired. Fatigue also plays a factor when cold-weather teams play in hot weather during the early months of the season. Co-op play has also been brought back so you and a friend can play on the same team at the same time.
The presentation in the game has improved, but they are not taking full advantage of the ESPN license they acquired awhile back. Look for them to take more advantage of this in later versions of Madden. Also, Marshall Faulk hosts a segment called "Marshall's Minute" where he discusses key star players and predicts the final score of the game. "Weapons" (certain star players have "weapons" which can enhance their performances and create game-changing plays) also get special introductions before games. John Madden and Al Michaels do not do the commentary as they are replaced by the same radio voice as last year. Lastly, you are able to take over the careers of select rookies from the 2007 NFL Draft. For example, you can import your player from Campus Legend mode in NCAA Football 08 and use him in Madden's Superstar Mode.
There have been complaints about the amount of fumbles and interceptions in this game making it unrealistic but here is a thought: if you throw the ball right to a defender, he should catch the ball in real life. Still, this makes the game interesting and gives people that like to play defense and are skilled at it a reason the control the defenders. This game is great but like anything else can improve. It is fun and has a lot of modes and features that will keep you interested and playing until Madden 09.

LEARN HOW TO RECIEVE YOUR FREE PLAYSTATION3Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.
Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.c
Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).
Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).
Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)
For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.

Madden in HDMadden at it's finest!! Finally Madden in an HD format. The overall graphics are sick and the player likeness is unreal. The playcalling screen leaves a little to be desired but if you're a Madden fan you'll be right at home with this one.

madden 2008 for ps3The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't change their current position, i.e.; you can't make a left tackle into a right guard or center.

Is MADDEN living up to its name?Review created: 06/20/08
by:
MADDEN doesn't live up to the expectations on this one. For a PS3 game the graphics aren't all that. The game play is ok and the main menu is a little confusing at first. But after that it is a straight Madden game. I hope that Madden 09 will improve.

Another Sub Par Madden Game to take my $60I will buy this game every year because it's the only one on the market since the corporate scandal of EA buying the exclusive rights to NFL. They did that because they could not make a game that had the play of 2K NFL. I don't know anyone that played both and thought the gameplay was better on Madden! I have played in Madden tournaments and will always be a huge fan, but I'm no sheep. I know oatmeal when being fed it. The game play and graphics could be waaaaaaay better than they are.
I swear this game plays no different than my Madden 2004!!! It's sad! Only reason I keep buying the new ones is because I want roster updates and I'm hoping they will at some point wake up and change the slow time game play. What's up with the grey foggy screen when showing game initiated replays? Is that suppose to be artistic? I read it as cheap replays without using the HD capabilities it should have.

I'm going to start off by saying I'm not a die-hard fan of the NFL. It's my opinion that they're too overpaid to do what they do and still have the mind to act the way they do sometimes. But the games are a blast. And nothing competes with Madden. Every year I think to myself, "What else could they possibly add to make this different?"... and every year they amaze me.
