I just got my 360, so this'll be my first Madden with it.

I just hope the players don't run all robotic-like anymore. The graphics on the screenshots look sick as hell though.

360 version is alot better, you need to play better defence, cause like the real nfl, one broken or missed tackle and its a TD.

D-Rose...the 360 version is a lot more fluid, and a lot slower paced, more like real football. It'll take some getting used to, but for sure you'll like it a lot more !


I can't wait to be MY NINERS !

As producers told us, there will be improvements to QB decision-making, accuracy, and power. Peyton Manning will be able to pick your team apart if you let him, and Rex Grossman...well, as Bears fans, let's just say there will be a big difference between Rex and Peyton--and leave it at that.
God damn it. Hopefully I will be able to substitute Grossman with Devin Hester and his hundred speed.

And speaking of tackling, gang-tackles that were long missing from the series debuted in the PlayStation 3 version of Madden NFL 07 and will now spread to include every version of Madden 08. As producers demonstrated in a video, tacklers can be added on to a pile at any point when trying to bring down a ball carrier; equally important, tackles can be shed dynamically thanks to the aforementioned branching animation technology. One particularly cool video example of this showed Tomlinson, wrapped up by a defender, make a spin move, only to have an incoming defender run into the defender that first wrapped up LT, knocking him off the running back and letting Tomlinson gain a few more yards in the process.
Sounds tight....

On the defensive side of the passing game, the new tackling animations look to play a huge role in how you defend against big-time receivers. Madden 08 producers said they are looking to make collisions matter a great deal more for receivers who cross over the middle and put their bodies on the line to go up for a ball. This means that defenders will be able to take out a guy's legs and collide with him in midair, perhaps even jarring the ball loose in the process. The intended result is to make the player on offense think twice before putting his star receiver out over the middle and hanging him out to dry. Guys will drop the ball. Worse yet, guys can get hurt.
Finally.

About to be bowled over by a rumbling, stumbling monster like T.J. Duckett? Take advantage of what producers are calling "hitstick 2.0," where flicking down on the controller will cause the defender to go low and attempt to take out the legs of your much bigger opponent (pushing up will result in a higher tackle, which will be ideal for taking out runners who are looking to leap over the pile on short yardage situations).
Nice

Nice. Good to hear.

I'm thinking about getting a used Madden 07 just to wet my 360 whistle till August.
