scores no higher than NCAA 2008 or APF 2K8, which football game will you all be choosing to go with? Imo after watching gameplay of Madden 2008 I think we all better be prepared for another mediocre year of Madden football. I see very little in the way of massive improvements. Imo if APF 2K8 had amped up the graphics and had a franchise mode, Madden would be in BIIIIG trouble!!! I can honestly say that I love where APF 2K8 is and I cant wait for APF 2K9!!!

APF 2K8 is just 2K5 with legends and no depth, sadly. I would get Madden just because I prefer the NFL over College Football.

Same here... Besides I've yet to buy a "next gen" Madden so if this one fixes the problems of 06 and 07 I'm good.

Madden is usually better than NCAA.

As far as NCAA VS APF, GS is impressed more with the extra features than the actual gameplay. Me personally I think Madden 06 for the PS2 is the best football game I've played. But the EA games released on the next-gens' gameplay sucks. It got abit better this year, but it still sucks.

So I don't plan on buying the Madden 08 for the PS3. Ill but the PS2 version. Thank God for the fall-back playability.

I never liked football games because I don't like Football. So because I don't understand the plays I never wanted to play any. But there is part of thenew WiiMadden that makes it where you do not need to know the plays, I may end getting it because of that.

How is that even possible? You HAVE to know the plays in order to play football.

as far as best football game ever.....one of the best if not the best was Gameday 98(psone).......for me at least

im with him, madden fell off 10 years ago. 2k football was sooo much better and cheaper. Madden should just do $10 roster upgrades now over the net. But peple keep buying it so, it wont happen

Family mode is quite innovative. Maybe you should read on it before bashing it.

Madden needs to step it up and improve movement and the defensive ai. Also when you reach the playoffs and especially the super bowl it should not be the same as every regular season game you play. When you win the superbowl there should be a celebration or something and it should feel like you accomplished a big goal.

They are making a family verison that makes it a lot easier to understand what going on. I use to enjoy football games on the NES where is was throw the ball and avoid the guy comming towards you. But now when I play a football game, I keep hitting the button that gets me to playing guickly rather than pick from the plays.

What makes the '08 Maddens different from the '07s when the Wii version was best? If you say graphics, you lose all credibility.

The family mode is why I may buy the Wii verison. So even if it is a gimmick there is nothing wrong with that. Most gimmicks are great.

Just because the wii version has crappy graphics doesnt mean that its going to have good gameplay. Wii will have the worst version of madden.

You still hafta know the plays. And back in the day, you had to know the plays.

And since the Wii's doin' that, they're definately tryin 'to get this casual thing down pact. Madden has always had a Football 101 thing on the current-gens. It shows you the plays, breaks down whats going on, ect. Then lets you try it out.

I'm playing my Madden 07 this year for the PS3 since, mostly likely Madden 08 will not be changed much. I'll wait for Madden 09 when the PS3 becomes the base console for Madden.

I know they had some kind of training mode but because I never cared about football I never wanted to learn. But I have been enjoying the number of minigames on the Wii with my family. I still may not even pick up Madden for the Wii. But I have to say the fact that there is going to be a faimly mode sounds like I may have fun playing Madden with my family. I am going to wait untill I hear more about the family mode before I pick it up if I do.

I just really like the idea that EA is opening up more to other gamers.

If that what you want to call it does not bother me any. Yes I am unwilling to spend the time to learn the game, I just want to play a simple football game with my family. Am I asking to much?

You did not say casual football player..Then I would disagree with you has it stands I am not a football game player at all. Madden for the Wii "may" turn me into a casual football player.

In other words, you are narrow-minded.

It makes it easier to play the game with your kids. Got any younger cousin, nieces, or nephews you would like to sit down and play with? I'm in my 30's and know my dad would love to sit down and play some Madden when he comes by if he doesnt have to learncomplex controls.

And besides, its all optional anyway. So many people seem to have forgotten that Wii Madden was the best last year.

i have played apf 2k8 and ncaa 08. and i like ncaa more. the legends and stuff are cool. but i dont think u can even play a quick game without having to use your custom team which sucks. apf 2k8 is basically madden 06 but the 2k engine. 2k8 is definatly more difficult than ea sports games but i still prefer ea right now.
