Getting Hit by the Madden Hype Machine

[SJ39BigGame81]

stop crying about madden on the madden boards and buy/rent the game and enjoy. Otherwise leave because you bring nothing be negativity and b8tch8 as8sness to the boards.

Madden isn't that great. Improved, but not that great. Robo QB's, some problems that are in the NCAA game.. Competition is needed in the video game football world.

i would say that the hype this year is deserved, its a very good game...and this is coming from some who was playing 2k5 up until very recently. This is also coming from someone who hadn't bought a Madden since Madden 2005.


I think the game is excellent on the field and while the franchise mode is lacking, Head Coach makes up for that and then some.

I cans see where youre coming from, but I rented 08 for the 360 and it felt broken from the get go, I don't see how anyone cuold get suckered into a game that bad.

also, I havent seen any robo QB's. I played a game against favre and held him to 15/34 with 4 picks. I think the best a QB has done against me is whoever the Dolphins QB is (not Pennington), they were something like 17/24.

NCAA is waaaaay better than Madden. Despite people complaining about NCAA, I love it.

After playing this years Madden I am officially announcing my retirement from playing Madden. I'm done. This game is not fun at all. I feel as if I have no control whatsoever. The skating is ridiculous.

What makes the 2k8 bball series great and what used to make Madden great was balance. If you don't know BBall you won't be able to play on 2k8 hall of Fame. Madden still allows you to run 2or 3 plays the entire game and be successful. Where is the balance in this game.
