My Favorite Game

Madden 2008 has been out for a few months now, and has been broken down by millions of gamers. Each playbook has been turned inside and out and each player has been tested for strengths and weaknesses. Madden gamers are notorious for finding even the smallest nuances in the game and exploiting them, which has led EA to constantly try to correct the next version of the game. How has Madden 2008 stood up to the rigorous testing of the masses? Sports Gamer breaks down Madden 2008's strengths and weaknesses, and asks you to help EA with your input.
What's Good About Madden NFL 08
Madden NFL 08 (XBox 360 / PS3) is an amazing game. Through this article I am going to critique the game quite a bit but I want to preface that by saying that in my opinion this is the best Madden to date. Over the past two years, the majority of gamers were still on PS2 and XBox, and that version of Madden was becoming a bit too difficult for the average gamer to pick up and play. The addition of the vision cone, while very enjoyable for the hardcore Madden gamers made for a less enjoyable experience for the casual gamer. In addition to the vision cone, the offensive schemes that worked became harder and harder to run without very complex glitch type plays and made it difficult for the average gamer to even score against the hardcore Madden gamer. This led to very low turnouts at Madden tournaments across the country. Gamers made their voices heard with their absence, and they were disappointed with the gameplay. EA heard the masses and went to the drawing board to create a truly great game.
