Stick with Madden 2007Aug 10, 2008
By Bruce Horn
You may by now have heard that EA has killed Madden for the PC, and you are looking to buy a copy before it goes completely extinct. I'll keep this short and mildly enraged- Madden 2008 is the same program, but somehow with MORE bugs than 2007. How they did that I don't know. They clearly never cared about the PC game. The same stupid bugs appeared year after year, like a department store Santa with syphillus. But I bought both programs and compared them and Madden 2008 is now in the garbage.
For what it's worth.

 A little disappointingAug 17, 2007
By rocking chair bum
After watching all the hype, I eagerly awaited the August 14th release of Madden 08. I bought the game for PC the day it was released and right away I had problems with it. The installation went well, but then '08 would not run ("Security Module could not be activated:7001"). After an hour I finally found a fix by deleting some registry files. Expecting something close to the XBox 360 or PS3 version of '08, I was saddened to see the same menu screen as last year's Madden 07 PC version. I played several games and noticed very few differences from last year's PC version. Like anothre review said, the roster s were updated and there were 1 or 2 new graphical tweaks, but for the most part I felt like was playing Madden 07. Player movements are still slightly awkward and there are some clipping issues. A lot of hyped features like gang-tackling are noticeably absent from Madden 08 PC. I've played Madden 08 on the XBox360 and I gotta say the console version is way smoother and much more entertaining. If you have an option, skip the PC version of Madden 08 and go with the Xbox 360 or PS3 version.

 Stick With Madden 07Nov 12, 2007
By D. Paul
I've gotten used to being dissapointed by recent Madden releases but 08 was supposed to be different, right?....Wrong, dead wrong for the PC version. Other than a couple mediocre graphic additions it is essentially just a roster update. If you've heard about changes to franchise mode, player weapons, etc. forget about them, because absolutely nothing changes from the 07 version. I'm especially dissapointed by franchise mode...in my opinion the only aspect of the game worth playing more than a couple hours. For some reason Madden thinks players improve by playing on winning teams...rather than teams win because players improve. Four years into the season every player on the saints, rams, patriots, colts and any other team with a couple playoff appearances has awareness ratings of 99. The salary cap is so high you never need to cut a player, and while drafting the CPU teams still offer ridiculous trades every 30 seconds. Screens are still ineffective, defenders turn into blockers, receivers can't stay in bounds, quarterbacks can't evade rushers, and don't even think about the tuck rule. I'm definitely not buying another madden for PC until they make some major changes. If you have the option, the PS3 gameplay is probably tops (in the next generation systems 08 is a decent improvement).

 I'm addicted to Madden FootballJul 05, 2008

I buy the new version of Madden for PC just about every year. I wish they would expand/ enhance the scouting drills for the draft, but I have greatly enjoyed this game, as always. It's th only way I can get my favorite team to win the Super Bowl.

Too Bad It's OverNov 16, 2008
By Stephen Blackstock
"Smedley"
I have enjoyed the PC version of Madden NFL for many years. I am quite disappointed they have discontinued the PC version.
Madden NFL 08 is very fun to play. Play calling is simple and direct. Game play is smooth and fast. Both offensively and defensively there are multiple audible options after a play has been called. The playbooks and audibles are highly customizable.
The graphics are nice at the highest settings. There are multiple graphics levels which helps improve game speed if you have a slower PC.
Owner mode is fun as well. Building and improving a team through the draft and free agency is entertaining. One complaint about the draft - you have a limited number of scouting attempts. So you can't gain much information about any of the available players pre-draft. This does not seem right considering how much time and money real NFL teams spend analyzing players before the draft.
