Of course, it's all garbage. People who actually know video games (like the people who bother to post on Operation Sports) largely identify Madden '08 for what it is--a glossed over HD port of the same poor gameplay we've had since probably 2001, MINUS a lot of the franchise features and accessability. But it doesn't matter because EA will keep selling, millions will keep buying, and there's simply no competition.

But then they also had their forums flooded with angry threats calling out EA.

I wonder if they are setting us up for 30fps again for PS3 in '09? Probably, although it still seems suspicious to me as they don't have a problem with PS3 lead titles. I guess this is why I don't do this for a living.

Anyone who believes that the game will be much better, is living in a dream world. Every year EA makes more money off of Madden then a Texas Oil Tycoon makes. Why would they put out a superior product, when we (including myself) keep spending our $$ on more of the same old thing.

I wonder if you can finally do a CPU VS CPU game. I cant even do a Super bowl simualtion because this feature does not exist.

There's a little something about Madden 09 on the "inside xbox" feature on xbox 360 dashboard....Im not going waste anything for anybody who wants to watch it.
