Author Topic: Is it just me or is Madden 08 EXACTLY the same as Madden 07 for PC?!  (Read 854 times)

Hey lads... You've got to help me out here!

I've just bought the new madden for PC, and yes there are now double team tackles, yes there are ridiculous unrealistic drops on the lense if you watch a rain game and ofc new added rookies etc. but other than that isn't it EXACTLY the same game.
Furthermore why have they moved the pedigry (chose your parents) thing?! Now all superstars will be more or less the same and all start with 80+ rating unless you purposefully don't use all your points, which would make the combine completely superfluous! And why on earth have they deleted the 'player of the week' award. Now there's nothing in between games except a 'congrats' or 'sorry you lost' from your agent or Dexter. I just don't get it?! To me that makes NO sence at all!

On top of that, all the things I've read about and heard that RB's wouldn't continue to run into an OL-guy but push instead, as well as LB's being able to push the pile, mid-air collitions, much better get-feet-inbounds AI etc. None of that has been imprved the least! At least not for PC.

The camera angle in superstar mode I was told would be changed aswell, yet it hasn't. It was suppose to support a brand new wide screen view - it doesn't.

All in all a MASSIVE dissappointment that really pisses me off since I paid almost $70 for mine incl. shipping.

Could somone please tell me whether all these things have been improved for other platforms or if it's the same money milking cash-cow-crap for every console?

Hope to hear from you guys soon.
Cheers

I'm not talking about graphics at all and my comp is fine. I'm talking about gameplay. All the things EA has promised and virturally none of tham implemented, at least on the PC version.

well i mean i never do superstar mode for some reason, i dont know why but i mean they didnt have that many new features, the only on main one is just more realistic gameplay like g- tackling, spec. catches and stuff, but ya i dont play superstar mode if thats where your problems are coming from, and like i said im getting mine as early as this week so ill see whats like on my 20 inch lcd screen media center should be fine but ill let u know about anyting that i find odd

THANK YOU!! Are you talking about the PC version or Madden in general mate? I'm under the impression, although I haven't tried it, that Madden has all the promised improvements for all the other platforms.

I might be wrong there tho. However, it's REALLY disappointing that I had to pay for a new game to get the old Maddon 07, with a roster update containing the new rookies!

That sucks big time!

People who have too much money to spend usually spend it foolishly. I bought a helmut and cleats for madden 2008 and someone told me i don't need em to play the game....but I like wearing them cuz my opponents always smack me in the head when i win. When we play for money the cleats help me run faster when i lose.
