PS2....I imagine they are pretty much the same except the Xbox version probably looks a little better.

Yeah I agree. The Xbox1 has a slightly better frame rate, is easier to manage saves with the HD, brighter, and probably less grainy.

I haven't played a Madden game since Madden 06 on PS2.

But I like how the vision cone is off by default.

There is so much interface in this game it is kind of overwhelming. But one thing is for sure. There is a lot in this game whether you have the PS2 version or the Xbox1 version.

This is a very enjoyable engine for me. The physics and the control mechanics are so refined....

Every time I say I'm not buying a Wii, I find a reason to change my mind.

The in-game save feature alone is enough to make me strongly consider getting this game; but the gameplay sounds very solid as well, which is good to hear. I don't care much about graphics, so no concern there.

Keep the impressions coming, fellas. Liking what I see so far.

Overall, 08 is the best at simulating the gameplay and feel of an actual NFL football game. It is also interesting to note that the size of the games decrease with each later version...Further prof of the ripped out features like ingame replays, accelerated clock, drive summaries, etc, that are absent in the 09 version. I really wanted to like the 09 version but after trying each game going back and forth over the past two days make it evident that 08 is the most complete version of football on the PSP.

Thanks for the honest answer. I think I'll be getting 08.

Any DS owners out there have Madden 09?

I bought 08 and if you can get past the dated graphics, found that it played a pretty good game of football. Just curious if much has changed.
