Madden NFL 08 by Electronic Arts

Get the upgrades for the OS

I purchased this game and initially was very disappointed. I have an IMAC 24 inch screen with the upgraded graphics card and 4G of ram, so I did not expect any issues. After downloading the patch for this game, i was still seeing crappy graphics and a weird green tint as well as almost like...

Great football simulation

The overall game was good, however the programming bugs in it take away a significant portion of the fun. I would recommend it, but only with the bug warning. The online gameplay is a blast, even though it is filled with bugs also. ...

It's Madden

The most annoying thing about Madden 08 is you've got to carry the blessed DVD around with you to launch the game.

Awful display

Awful on new iMac

I have a new 24' iMac and the program will not run. The text gets all garbled up so navigation is impossible. You can't even get a game started because the text is superimposed giberish. On the Apple site others report the same thing on iMacs. Really bad to release a program with such major flaws...

Those of us who have been playing games for longer than the majority may have become a little jaded with respect to the industry's placeholder franchises. We have often suffered from shelling out for games that turn out to be little more than a roste

Every year there seems to be a summer gaming drought that everybody seems to hate, but to the casual gamer—it really means nothing. Why? At the eve of it all, Madden will come to fall. This year, the game is actually a step forward for the series. M

Every year, EA Sports releases a new Madden NFL football game for the Nintendo DS. And every year, it makes a few improvements that entice football fans into dishing out another 30 dollars for the most up-to-date portable football fix. For Madden NFL
