The good ole days Madden 08

But why, after Madden 04, did player models have to get stiffer and brick like bodies?

They moved smoother in the 02 to 04 maddens.

Footballidiots. Guys who use the pc madden 08 and mod it for 1970s nfl seasons, are still going strong it appears.

But hey! that isnt fair, not the games fault really. So I thought id get into the groove of it by playing superstar mode, by focusing on just one position... ohh turns out that mode is complete garbage; they actually did a single player focus mode without a player lock hahahaha

Old quote but...

To each their own,but..

If 08 is bad, what's better? Most ps3 versions suck entirely. Players get run into and fall like deflated balloons in M15. The player models are just horrible stick figure robots in most all maddens. And of course they destroyed franchise for MUT.

Being only the player in career mode...well, that's never really worked anyway. Getting stuck with horrible plays at running back .wide receiver, running routes for nothing lol.

I like it better than 06. I hate the cone. You couldn't use precision passing in 06, unless you turned cone on. I turned cone off in 06 and it seems I couldn't complete a pass in a game at all (this was 2 weeks ago) so I returned that game for ps3 nba 2k 11,Jordan. I have 12, that I still like better.

I just got this game for the PC. I headed over to Football Idiots and downloaded rosters from the 1995 and 1996 seasons and I love it. I'm an old head and love the fact that 2002-2012 was the ERA for the Franchise Mode player. So, even if the gameplay is not modern, it still scratches the itch I have for Franchise Mode play. The fact that there are mods out there for this game is even better. I mean they have the Senior Bowl that's playable so that you can scout draftee's for crying out loud lol.

Does using the passing cone give you more receiver animations?
