I thought that was happening this year????? Where you could play each other on the exat day of the real game and the weather and injuries for that day would incorperate into the gameplay.

I love the game as is and could care less about new features. I am buying it today simply because I want updated rosters and player ratings. I'm too lazy to manually change everything.

Just bought it at lunch. Can't wait! Is it 5 yet?

That is how EQ rolls. Why answer a question in one post when you could easily do it in three or four post. GOT TO KEEP THAT POST COUNT HIGH.

I got it on the PS3 and while it is not getting the reviews of the XBOX version it was still a considerable upgrade over Madden 07 on any console. I imagine that by next year both versions will be neck and neck. PS3 will have had time to catch up by then. I do not play any games other than NCAA and MADDEN so it's not that big of a deal to me.

Many people question why SONY waited to put out the PS3, and many of you may wonder why I purchased a more expensive PS3. Well, from my experience the company that holds out longer eventually ends up putting out a better product in the long run. ie Dreamcast came out before PS2 and now the XBOX 360 came out before the PS3. BTW, I was one of the fools that reserved and got the Dreamcast when it first came out. Since then, I have refused to make the same mistake twice. In the event that I am wrong about this, I will accecpt defeat and give up on trying to predict the better product.

the only problem with that argument in my opinion is the that the Dreamcast was the vastly superior system of it's generation, but because of the way Sega marketed it, it having a bit of a weak starting lineup not unlike the PS3, and it not being able to playback DVDs caused it to fall behind the PS2, GC, and X-Box.

As for Madden, this years version crushes the past few years of Madden. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is smooth, and finally actually has some features again. The AI is much improved as well, but as others have stated in the Turnovers thread, I've repeatedly had players from opposing defenses somehow grab an int that there was no physically possible way for them to do so. And I am getting a bit annoyed that on practically every punt return ARE fumbles the ball. overall though a much needed step up from EA's recent blunders.
