Madden NFL 08 - Playstation 3

Forgot how fun Madden could be before they started mut.

I was willing to forgive the first version of Madden for PS3 for having way less functionality than the PS2 version, but version two should have caught up. For basic playability there is improvement in running between the tackles and short passing.However, on the strategic front PS3 is a big step backwards. You can't do player substitution - that makes it inconvenient to platoon RB's and impossible to platoon at any other position or to have a "fast receivers" set. There is no way to disguise the zone or matchup CB's to WR's in a zone. There are very few audibles. Finally, and most exasperatingly turnovers are completely out of control. In a game with 10 minute quarters I am averaging 9 takeaways a game even with the interception slider at "5" out of "100".On the whole I can't recommend this game to anyone.

Pretty good game

Good condition and reminded me that Vince Young had potential. What a jerk, the Dolphins could use him.

Madden NFL 08I pre-ordered this on Amazon, and when I got home from work on Tuesday it was already waiting for me in an Amazon box.Played against my little brother and so far so good. In-air collisions and using key players and many other new features make the game just much better then the 07 version. The graphics aren't so much better but it looks a little better.I looked up a review on Yahoo! and they said that the 360 version is better:"On the surface, the releases on 360 and PlayStation 3 look identical. However, when you stack them head-to-head, it's clear which is better. Madden on 360 is fast and fluid, thanks to a sharp jump in frame rate that allows the game to move twice as fast.PS3 owners, unfortunately, are greeted with a Madden that is sluggish in comparison. Action stutters far too often, particularly on injuries, penalties and turnovers. There's also a half-second delay between pressing the hike button and receiving the ball in your hands. Even close-ups between play look dull when lined up against the 360's sleeker cut scenes."My brother and I was wondering about the hike problem too because often we pressed the hike button too much causing us to throw the ball right away because we weren't sure if it hike or not until a half second later....... I can probably live with this but it is annoying.My friend is getting it for his 360, so I will try it out there and see if it truly is twice as fast and a lot better or not.I still don't understand why the play selections are the way it is, showing the other person the plays your picking. Need the old style where you just see X, O, Square below each plays. Or do the old school Blitz style and allow you to make the play selector disappear or something.

Worked is fine

Not as good as the ps2 version. I'd honestly prefer to spend more on the ps2 version then get the ps3 version cheaper. The game itself was terrible and didn't give me the same vibes as the ps2 version.

Ill start by saying that i purchased this game expecting to re-live my experience from my old ps2. But let me tell you, it is a completely different game. The graphics are worse, different main screen, aweful gameplay. If you are purchasing this expecting it to be the same as the ps2 version, dont buy it.
