I would only buy this game for the value of not having to bench Plummer in favor of Cutler (yay defaults!).

Have they improved this game at all on any platform? (360 for sports games)

Check the consoles forum for another Madden 08 thread.

Our new multiforum setup kinda throws things out of whack for the multi platform games.

I believe it is still Football. Unless, of course, you are saying that you can't finish a game.

Apparently it is, aka you drop the ball way too often.

I was fumbling like mad. The turnovers on both sides seemed very high.

Did they add the stripping option into Madden that was put into the latest NCAA game? If so, make sure to use the button to cover up the ball. I ran into that with my HB in NCAA 08.

I want to buy Madden or NCAA 08 today, but I can't decide which. Anyone played both of them?

Still playing NCAA. I think that once I lead my Legend player through his Senior season, I might buy Madden. Unless I happen to get Madden from my brother-in-law tomorrow that is :P

what kind of man wouldn't get both? they both have different enough playstyles to warrant the purchase.

though, due to recent trends I hear that OSU beats UM everytime the game is simulated. so, I might go with ncaa 08 for realism factor.
