So I figured with EASports coming out this year with probably every game of theirs finally on next gen. It's now a good time to say which is best.

I'll start

NCAA 08 - 8.5
Madden 08 - 7.5
Tiger Woods 08 -7.5
NHL 08 - 9.5
NBA Live 08 - 8.0
FIFA 08 -9.0

Don't know which is best, but this was a stellar years for EA for everything besides football and basketball, and even those were pretty OK overall. Only Nascar was subpar based on impressions.

Madden was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT and NBA LIVE looks like crap in the gameplay videos, but the other games they made on next-gen all seem to be really good or at least playable. Tiger 08 had the whole gameface debacle, and I haven't played NHL 08, so I'll say NCAA 08 was the best to me.

NHL offers without a doubt the most fun EVAR in a sports game, so that's tops.

I really like NCAA and FIFA (so far). Madden sucks still, and even with weapons off, commentary muted with "real" TV in the background...I still can't bring myself to play a full game. It's just dull and boring with no overlays, non-existent sideline drags (thought it was "improved") and crappy line interaction. Haven't played Live, but have no hopes. At least I'm not a big NBA fan!

NHL and FIFA for sure.

Since I'm a bigger soccer fan, I'm going with FIFA.

NHL by far but even that has some pretty big issues.
