anyone play Madden 08 on PC?

The animations are WAY smoother and more life like than Madden 10, which makes the game more fun. Also, the customization of the game is almost endless. Like someone said before, you can edit attributes, photos, uniforms, just about everything. The best part is for me, is that I set up the game so that I can play with my PS3 controller. Franchise has all the features you could want.

I'm sure any new desktop can easily handle Madden 08 on the highest settings, and the specs you listed are definitely more than good enough assuming you get a decent video card. Based on your previous post I don't think you would find it better than Madden 10 even at the highest settings. I just don't think Madden 10 looks good at all because every animation looks so robotic. It definitely does look better than lower settings though. In particular the weather games look incredible. I am in awe when playing rain games as the field looks awesome, the players get progressively muddier and rain pours down on the camera during cinematics. Overall the field looks more realistic than Madden 10's do, and in my opinion the player models ,while not as detailed, look much more realistic in terms of the shape of the human body in a football uniform. The only things I feel Madden 10 has over Madden 08 visually are the intro sequences and the stadiums/crowd. Keep in mind I am not just trying to bash Madden 10, although I do hate it. I still play Madden 10 in a very active sim-oriented Online Franchise and do have fun as long as I'm not playing the cpu.

Thanks... I really appreciate it.

Hey man, I have my ps3 controller hooked up and it works fine for everything except madden 08 on the pc...... what all did u have to do for it to show up in madden?

I installed madden 08 on my laptop a few weeks back to see how it felt vs the current installments of madden. I forgot just how broken madden 08 really was. CPU pass coverage had lots of issues. They bit way too hard on PA. And were suckers for getting beat by the go-route on the outside.

Years ago, I did lots of slider tweaking, roster editing, and experimenting with Madden 08. It really was impossible to get the level of balance from madden 08 that i can get with Madden 10 or 11.

I used to enjoy the Football-Freaks mod, but seeing Madden on my 47" LCD is way more interesting.

Yo how do you get madden to recognize your ps3 controller? The computer recognizes it but madden doesn't

I'm curious if anyone has tried playing Madden 08 on PC in 3D.

According to NVIDIA's 3d Vision site, Madden 08 is supported with an "Excellent" rating.

So how about it - any of you guys with all the new toys play Madden 08 in 3D?
