Great graphics. I like the new animations on the kickoffs and the player intros. The auto replays look great too.

Anyone played the PS3 version? I've read about lots of stuttering and delays while playing... I know it's 30fps slower but come on! I didn't think they'd fuck it up that bad....

Gonna rent it for the wii first. If the D is still as painful to use as last year I'll go with 360.

I put Mike Vick into the Free Agent pool and the Jaguars signed him.

Picked this up yesterday and played my first full game. I lost by like 13 points to the Panthers in pre-season (though to be fair, I was playing it exactly like a real pre-season game). The CPU uses its first stringers 1st half and 2nd stringers 2nd half. I was using my 2nd stringers by the 2nd quarter and all my 3rd and 4th string bench guys by the 2nd half.
Overall seems a lot harder this year, which is a good thing. Wayyyyy too many fumbles though. Everybody seems equally likely to cough up the ball with any given hit. |

Fumbles aren't too bad, I think you're forced to use the "Cover Ball" button a lot and in the right situations, which is a good thing.
Right now I think I'm sitting at 4-4 in my season with the Giants. Playing on All Pro difficulty with some adjusted sliders, to make it a tad bit more difficult. I'm having trouble finding realisitic stats in my games, so I'm going to have to adjust further. All in all I'm happy with the game. I think it does play harder like Vito said, but not in an unfair sense. I think it forces you to play smarter. I don't know why some of you guys sign free agents and create yourself and stuff, to me that detracts from the fun and realism. |

I will be picking this up tonight. Am always skeptical about Madden but this does seem to have a genuine improvement. First time I will be playing on next gen so give me a couple days and then I will fire up Live and whoop some ass. Maybe.

I'm gonna be getting a Wii soon, so what do you think? Should I hold out to get it for that or get it on the PS2 now? Is Madden good on the Wii or just a painful concept?

Ok I was mistaken, fucking Play got their release dates mixed up. Although really it's EA being completely gay and releasing the PS2 version a week before all the other consoles. WTF is up with that.

Wow. This game can get really frustrating. I was up by 4 on the Jets, they had just scored...they kick the ball off. Derrick Ward with the return - BAM fumble. Jets pick it up and run it in for the TD. They take a 3 point lead I could never get back.
Good thing it's only pre-season.Anyway, Jacobs, Droughns, and Bradshaw all seem pretty damn good to me. I can't pass for shit though. My receivers just don't catch the ball. They don't even try. Pass or lob, it just bounces right off them 80% of the time. Then another 15% of the time its INT'ed. |

Finally got to the regular season in my game. My first game was like bizarro world. I beat the Cowboys 21-6
Eli only threw the ball 11 times, getting 6 completions for 47 yards. Should have had 8 and a lot more yards but Plax and Smith dropped long passes. Most important pass was a floater from the 2 yard line that Toomer reached up and brought down for the TD. Jacobs also got a TD, had like 56 yards on the day. My other TD was an interception return by Will Demps. My D was sick. Strahan with 2 sacks, Osi with 1, Mitchell with 1. They were also on the field almost all game. Sinorice Moss is the man at punt returns. Got like a 29 yard per return average even though he did fumble once. |

Honestly I think the coverage is a lot better in this game. Plax is one of the tallest receivers in the game and long passes to him still get broken up. If he catches it, the defender usually knocks it out of his hands before he comes down.

I got a freaking XBOX 360 and it took me 10 minutes to figure out where to put the controller in and then like 2 hours to figure out how to play an exhibition game, and then they kept calling Delay of Game on me because I couldn't read the freaking tiny writing on the screen, what the heck is wrong with this game

So the PS2 version is pretty much the same. Is the other versions different?
I saw some pre game shit or something. |
