PS2 and XBOX versions still the best versions available...

[matthewk]

My only hands-on experience with the 360 version was a few minutes at BB. Between that and what I keep reading, I don't feel like I'm missing a thing without a 360 or PS3.

Here are some of the things I like about the XBox version vs 360/PS3:
- Facemask penalties
- Formation subs
- Formation audibles
- Fatigue seems to work properly
- Refs on the field and nets behind the goalposts
- Reasonable number of turnovers
- Defensive assignments. I can make Al Harris cover the opponents #1 WR all day.
- No super-leaping LBS. I can actually complete passes between levels of defenders

Overall, it just feels like a mature, solid product on the Xbox.

Agreed. After many sliders and adjustments on the PS3 (with no success) I exchanged my PS3 copy for the PS2 Madden and I am loving it. I actually could play the game out of the box and started a franchise. I also see the differences between 08 and 07 Madden (although it is not much the game has improved). I am loving it. I finally fulfilled my NFL game itch. The PS3 version was trash. The atmosphere is better...No radio announcer calling the game. Crowds I can hear. The list goes on...

My new issue of Game Informer just came in and Madden 08 for the 360 got an 8 out of 10. You would think that after 3 years on the 360 GI Madden would have gotten a higher score but it didnt. I also didnt mention the fumbling problem and glossed over the lack of game play features matthew just mentioned.

I am debating trading my PS3 version in as well, but I have just a couple stupid question...

1. If I purchase the PS2 version and use in my PS3, would I be able to still play online games?

2. In the PS2 version can you change your sliders, auto subs in/out, etc. in the franchise menu, or does this have to be done before I load my franchise?

Thanks!

OG is the way to go. I like the PC version. Sold 360 version on ebay and still haven't had a craving to have it back. The new engine is prettier but terrible.

1 .I don't see any reason you wouldn't be able to play online.
2. As far as I know you can change all that stuff inside franchise
3. WELCOME TO LAST GEN
