[QUOTE="ak47, post: 140049"] I nearly started another thread I have finally glossed over the pretty looks and got down with the nitty gritty that is gameplay. Forget the speculation – MADDEN IS BACK!!!!!! I played about 10 matches of the demo AGAIN……I cant put it down “USER PICK†– 90yd TD return……………NOW I have been to the holy land that is ruled by st john madden. The testimony states that in john 3:16 lord Madden resurrects in 2008AD and the light will shine upon thee that worship our saviour in john madden!!!! Then what happens next 1 min later in the same match?? MY GOD JUST WHEN U SEEN IT ALL………105 yd return for TD from 2nd half kick-off. Hester beat 3 tackles from jukes and spins. This is by far the most playable and enjoyable Madden I have ever played. I make a mistake, and I know why and I pay for it. I make a big play, because I know why and I get paid!!!!!!! There is no auto AI element……every play feels different – even if u play it twice in a row, the defense will line up different and from there, u have to go about that play different. USER PICKS, TACKLES, CATCHES, KNOCK DOWNS, ITS ALL THERE. Finally I have beaten the madden curse of the last 4-5 years, where AI rules a lot of play…..its the speed of game that has done this or the frame rate…u now have time to change player of receiver of corner/safety……..and then make that USER play of tackling, catching etc……in previous maddens I had trouble picking up the change player due the over speed of the play…….was too quick and the AI ruled a lot…also with the ole bus like controls…….with this gone, u can over run a pass, and still make it, or overrun a play turn and still make a tackle. Hit stick works well, and u get punished if u miss like always. Gang tackling is beautiful, and awesome…makes for variety of animation, and u can really deck some dudes. BUT then this. CPU on the drive, makes a pass, and is complete……..yet I see the ball pop out, and then it a flurry………everyones in a fit – FUMBLE!!!!!! I recover I’m like oh fark, ok……..i have seen my fair share of fumbles………..THIS WAS NOT A FUMBLE…….I am on a tirade at the TV blowing up at how EA can f*** up such an thing, where the man was down, by atleast a second, both knees and all, and it’s a FUMBLE?? WTF is going on here?? Replay confirms all this………….no way that’s a fumble, both knees on the deck numbers on ground, it the worst call in history!!!! So I have the ball, and am picking my next attacking play, and huddle out to the line. “THE BOOTH IS GOING TO LOOK AT THE FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!†REPLAYS REPLAYS REPLAYS “AFTER REVIEWING THE PLAY, THE RULING ON THE FIELD IS OVERTURNED!!!!†THAT IS WHEN I BLEW MY LOAD!!!!!!!! This is the real deal………..Madden 2008 is an NFL masterpiece on the FIELD!!!! It’s a demo I am playing so I cant comment on anything else other than limited gameplay, and even though its limited…..i don’t have access to manual, and hints, tricks, tips, the intricacies etc……….but I can say with my limited controls and knowledge, its already a mile ahead of other Maddens. I haven’t had this much fun since 2003. [/QUOTE]
