    Once you get an intermediate knowledge of the controls, the game is fun. There are some bugs. For instance, I just finished a game in single player franchise mode with a score of 35-38, while the box score - by quarters - displayed a score of 29-44 (I have the screen shot). I've played a little over a season and would have rated it higher, but the madden series has been around long Once you get an intermediate knowledge of the controls, the game is fun.

I've played a little over a season and would have rated it higher, but the madden series has been around long enough to have a little more polish than this release. It's too bad the NFL signed the exclusive deal with EA. I miss NFL 2Kx. Expand

  1. It may be the last game anyone will ever play on the original Xbox, and it does the Madden name justice with its smooth play, wide range of features old and new, ridiculously in-depth franchise options, and online games.
  2. Although the game doesn't go the extra mile like other current-generation versions on store shelves, Madden NFL 08 still provides a solid game of football.
  3. EA Sports did what they could, but it's all about the future now. Rest assured, Madden is probably a good way to finally retire your GameCube and Xbox.
