I am currently playing at a friends house...as he just got it.

He works in the industry, what he does and who he works for I will not answer...

But if anybody has any questions about the game...I will be happy to answer

Most noticeable thing so far is the 60fps (360 version). Defense seems to have tightened up this year also...It also seems impact players...well actually have more of an impact.

Im playing as Hawaii (where I am originally from) and Colt Brennan accuracy rating seems to allow his passes to...somehow find its way into the receivers hands...even on off balance, back foot, throwing across the middle.

I dont like the new play screen structure..it seems they tried to streamline it but I liked the classic "Madden" style play selection screen

But other than that Im liking what I am playing so far, I wish I could take it from my friends house and start editing rosters but he isnt allowed to lend it to anybody (understandably) I urge people to pick up this game as its a definite improvement over 07.

This is gonna be awesome on Live.

Joelo8112002

QB #12 - OVERALL 84
QB #19 - OVERALL 82
HB #44 - OVERALL 86
WR #08 - OVERALL 88

As for Kerns I think his jersey number is #26 (at least in the game) and he rated at 78 OVERALL

If you read my post, you would know that I wasnt bragging or anything. I just asked if anybody had questions pertaining to the game, from somebody who had hands on with the game itself.

Take it eeeeeeasy.

Also just noticed this when playing Colt Brennan is not an impact player...whats up with that?

I thought he was an impact player becasue he was one in 07...Except the 2nd string QB is the impact player. Weird...maybe will be fixed with a patch or my friend doesnt have the retail version and is still an earlier build.
