anyone play Madden 08 on PC?

So I got Madden 08 for my PC and I'm having so much fun with it. I was able to hook up my PS3 controller and use it in the game just like on the PS3. Also, I downloaded a mod from football-freaks.com and they have the updated schedules, rosters, players, etc..

Also, one big advantage is that I am able to edit almost EVERYTHING. I can download or even create/edit any uniform, ratings, stadiums, etc. I even created my "own" speed slider by lowering the global speed, agility, acceleration ratings. Now it plays SOOOO much better instead of everyone running around like warp speed. Bottom line, I feel like there is A LOT to do with this game and I can pretty much edit it anyway I want to.

So I highly recommend Madden 08 on the PC.

madden 08 is a very polished game and the best installment yet on pc but i can not play it anymore because of the direct x 7 graphics

I do.

Its a better game than Madden 10 IMO. Doesnt have all the fluff but at least its not as aggravating. Plus, with Football Freaks mods, its awesome.

Suffice it to say, if they tweaked it a little bit and improved on the graphics, there would be no way I'd be playing Madden 10 right now. 08 for the pc was a great game and I definitely got the most mileage out of it. It's a shame they had to let it go.

Oh, and the running animations were dead on!

Unfortunately, 08 didn't run consistently on my PC. Otherwise, it was exactly what I wanted from a football game, especially when I used a VGA cable to run the game on my computer then displayed on my 42 in tv.

It was the best football experience I've had the past two years.

I just bought it off Ebay for $15, looking forward to playing it - Madden 10 just isn't cutting it for me.

right now, I'm tweaking the rosters so that there's more of a separation of good teams and bad teams. The only down part is that EVERY team is rated like a 80 or higher, even the Lions, Browns, Chiefs, etc.

When you get the game try and use your PS3 or xbox 360 controller or a supported controller....not the keyboard. Makes it much more fun.

Honestly, I dont mind the graphics. They are sufficient, decent, they aren't horrible by any means.

Oh yea, I downloaded a CBS/FOX/ESPN mod which makes it like you're playing a game on either of those channels. It has the logos, music, etc., it's a pretty refreshing look.

I can't say enough good things about this game. Right now i'm running the 1977 season in coach mode with sideline camera view, having a freakin blast!!
