   i'd love to give this game a 9, but there are bugs.......... OVERALL: it is very fun to play (but some bugs), and the controls are great i'd love to give this game a 9, but there are bugs.......... OVERALL: it is very fun to play (but some bugs), and the controls are great (but if you're working for EA, don't settle, they could be made better). THE MYTHS: there IS online play (dont listen to Brian G); and the passing is just fine (CA probably hasn't gotten used to the motion yet, does it too rapidly at a downward angle), though it does help to be standing for ANY Wii game, but i manage fine even sitting; and it should be hard to strip the ball while running at someone, so don't complain that the #1 button is so far, boohoo (JS probably never played a corner position). THE BUGS: Some bugs in franchise mode. The menus froze on me 3 times already (it's only been 2 weeks). In online play mode, kicking the ball is buggy to the point of sometimes completely failing to make the kick (it doesn't happen often, but it is still unacceptable). the infamous blurring bug is not as annoying as you would think, but it's annoying enough to knock down points. i haven't played a 2player local game, i bet CA's comments at the bottom are absolutely on point for that, just because of how the plays get chosen, but the hot-route can be hidden if you do it fast enough i bet. I'm sure there are many features to be discovered in this game that resolve some of CA's valid complaints as you gain expertise --- the key here is that the Wii Madden was made for rookies to be able to easily pick up and have fun with it before they know all the complex controls, and the Wii madden succeeded in this (family play mode, natural movement juke moves and throws, etc). But as you learn all the controls and gain expertise, the game is still great. I really think some of the complaints here arise from not knowing the game well-enough.… Expand

   The presentation and graphics are a little better, but there is definite room for improvement. The online play is laggy, ranging from 1 to 3 The presentation and graphics are a little better, but there is definite room for improvement. The online play is laggy, ranging from 1 to 3 second lag (which is a lot of time in a twitch game such as Madden.) The movements are easier to pull of, which is a plus. The core gameplay from 07 hasn't changed that much. The Wii version doesn't fix "Mario Running" that much with some iffy collision detection, and gang tackles from the 360 and PS3 are missing, keeping the running game more successful than the passing game. You'll have a btter chance gaining yards up the middle than running complex routes, as the CPU corners stick to the wide receivers. There are some glitches here and there, such as the infamous camera blur glitch, but overall, this is still a solid game for single and local multiplayer games.… Expand

   I love football games, and always find myself playing this game, but I do find a lot of problems with Madden 08 for the Nintendo Wii. I love football games, and always find myself playing this game, but I do find a lot of problems with Madden 08 for the Nintendo Wii. Especially with the online play. First off, the passing...is horrible when playing online. Im not sure if its due to the excessive lag you have when you play online, but when you press a certain receiver(left, right, down, up) id say 60% of the time will not pass to the receiver you want. It gets very frustrating when this happens. Thats really the main problem with this game. The passing is horrible, especially for online play. The game itself is fun, but once you start playing online, its a whole new ballgame. Your play changes so much its ridiculous. Whether it be just trying to connect to the server, getting disconnected while playing, excessive lag, very poor passing(possible due to lag), not being able to let go of the ball faster than you want. This all leads to a very miserbale, non-fun, non-competetive online play.… Expand

   As long as the Wii doesn't become gimmicky, this system will be fine. Unfortunately for the Wii, it's become gimmicky. If you are As long as the Wii doesn't become gimmicky, this system will be fine. Unfortunately for the Wii, it's become gimmicky. If you are going to have graphics of such a poor quality, you must deliver with intuitive gameplay and a unique and perfect control scheme. The inability of EA to adapt PERFECTLY to the game. There shouldn't be any issues with moving the controller after the snap. In the NFL if the ball is still at the QB's waist he's not going to throw the ball of his back leg, for no apparent reason. That's it - plain and simple.… Expand
