Madden NFL 2008 for Xbox 360

Pros: playable
Cons: so many flaws!

Madden 08 for the 360 is the first next-gen version of the football game that's finally playable. If that makes you cream your pants, then you'll love this game. It seems that every "pro" reviewer feels that way. (Also, it's strange that ALL their ...

Pros: animations look good, lots of action and franchise mode is still fun.
Cons: AI is not intelligent, some graphical oddities on challenges, fumbles-fumbles-fumbles.

Basically there have been more steps made in the right direction, but there's still room for improvement. Now, for the breakdown: Graphics: They really came a long ways in the last two years. I think EA has finally gotten the hang of the next gen ...

Pros: More Smooth, Fun and Easy for everyone, Entertainment on all levels
Cons: Still some glitches, not many though

Ya know there is always room for improvement with everything, but why rant about that? We all know this is the game to have so lets talk about why its so great and leave what needs to be fixed to the manufacturers. Graphics As we all know, ...

Pros: Progress is being made with the 360 and PS3 versions.
Cons: Bugs, but not the kind you step on, mind you.

The last two incarnations of Madden for the 360 were modest at best. Okay, they were forgettable. Now we have 08, and well, it's better, but....

First off, there are some bugs they overlooked (or just didn't give a flip about). My thing with football games is creating my players. I take the Detroit Lions, release EVERYONE and then create my own players. The problem is when you do, certain players come back with skinny arms.
I created a 6'7" 355 pound right tackle and he had little arms. WTF?!!!!!!! Sometimes the game will freeze. That's why they should have brought back the mid-game save like they had on the last-gen versions. And I hear in franchise mode, free agents flat out disappear. Hmmm....

Other than these annoyances, EA Sports AND Tiburon finally took their heads out of their rectums and finally made a good football game, albeit some bugs.
