O/T Madden 08'

Sorry mods if this is the wrong spot! (pls move)

Anyone have it? , haven't seen any talk on it yet here.
I like it alot...The animations are superb and mobile QB's like Romo can move better than last season.
So far - my only gripe is on playaction plays, you can sacked instantly too often.
BTW - The Gang tackling is excellent.

I own both Madden and NCAA, and trust me, NCAA is better. I think the inability to edit positions in an NFL game is stupid, and that's what Madden's missing (if your not a big franchise fan, it's probably not a big deal). But you almost have to be able to edit players amond the o-line, LBs changing to different spots, some DBs switching, and very rarely a college QB to WR. Just based on some of our offseason moves, we signed a LT and moved him to RG, drafted a DE and moved him to OLB, and drafted a QB and moved him to WR, none of which is possible in madden 08'.

As far as game play goes, it's pretty good, but the pass protection so far has been suspect

If you don't mind playing with guys with no names, the game is great. Blocking is great, even on runs to the outside like toss, and sweeps, play actions are 50/50. You may get sacked before you get a chance to really scan the field, but it won't be instantly like I've noticed in Madden (but I admit I haven't played enough to learn how to set it up yet).

Just started the season.

I'm 4-0 so far:

Dallas 28- Giants 7
Dallas 48 -Dolphins 3
Dallas 42- Bears 24
Dallas 17- Rams 14 ( Intercepted the ball with Henry in Fg range then ran out the clock)


fun game.

Just an FYI on this, SteveOS from the zone is part of a site at Operation Sports(operationsports.com). There is a link to update the players names instead of just the #s with the aid of a transfer kit. With the Xbox360 there are a few options/kits you can purchase.. Or you can go straight to fkrosters.com to get the files as well.

If you're using an xbox 360, get yourself a transfer kit and you can get the names.
