I was recently at maddens 08 web page and they have a new team every day u can pick as a desktop background(there really just the team colors) and they will keep adding new teams till the NFL draft. I can bet an arm and a leg and even my dog that on draft day EA will announce the cover athlete and some info on the game that I been dying to hear (from what I heard gang tackling is in this years game hey wait a second wasnt that a feature in madden 2003).  Any who look out on draft day for the announcement of the cover athlete just to give you a heads up.

Did you pay attention to when they announced the cover last year?? Hint, it wasn't at the draft.

I know the Fake teams really killed it, however I would much rather play a game with great gameplay rather then stick with madden which is the SOS every year.

I totally disagree. The ONLY reason to play sports games is for your favorite teams and players. If that wasn't the case, then why isn't Arena Football selling better?

It's a great football game. I don't know why people complain about not having other compeition. Madden got the exclusive NFL license because it best represented the football tradition. NFL2k and those other over rated games.. I played them and they were not the real football experience

Because the game is wack!  I honestly don't care too much about the real teams.  Does that make me less of a fan?  No, I don't think so.  Bottom line... if the game plays well, it's in my collection.

 lol arena football games have never sold well, it might be because its ARENA FOOTBALL!!:lol: 

anyways all the 2k football games have never recieved below a 9 rating on any game they put out, and theres a good reason for that, can't say the same about madden though, it seems without competition they have been laggin it these past couple years 


Im sure everyone remember 2k5 football, the last great football game but madden saw competion *cough* greatness *cough* and signed a contract to take it out, quite sad that people only had one NFL game to choose from. I dont know about you guys but I like to have a choice when choosing a NFL football game, nobody should have to buy madden just to get some football in their blood

the cover of the countdown to madden cover is definitley a quarterback, so if that is the outline of the coverboy only if it is, than that outline of the quarterback looks to me like Drew Brees; just sayin'.

Meh. I don't even know if I'm gonna get Madden 08. 07 for 360 wasn't that good.

Real teams don't matter to me although it makes it fun. Some of the best sports games I remember as a kid didn't have real teams. Joe Montana Football was a great series on the Sega Genesis and it did not have real players. If All Pro Football 2K8 is anywhere near the other games it will be great! Real players or not. :)

By the way .... I just hope and pray the cover does not have anyone from my team the Cincinnati Bengals on it. We all know about the curse of the Madden EA cover ...

Judging from this past season and their "run-ins" with the law, you'd think EA had their entire team photo on the cover last year. jk :P

As well as sub par gameplay... sounds like a winner... The only reason I like it is just to keep EA on their toes but I thought Madden 07 was killer! Now with gang tackles in the mix it will just be even better.

My buddy and I looked up pics of Drew Brees throwing the ball and he holds his non-throwing hand in a different position than the outline (it's somewhat similar but Grossman and Vince Young are MUCH closer than Brees to the outline). I hope it's not Grossman but if it is they better use this picture right here because it sums up what Grossman did...

 

 Grossman letting the D have their way with him...

first off, the picture above me is classic. second, 2k8 is going to be garbage without real teams or players. I'd say over 90% of Madden users play Madden to either be their favorite player or be part of their favorite team.
