Saints Madden 08' Ratings

pakowitz · 08-15-2007, 09:31 PM

thats because the ps3 version plays at 30 frames per second while the 360 version is at 60 fps which allows for smoother gameplay and less hiccups... the speed burst button is the right trigger and to switch the ball to the opposite hand is the stiff arm button.. on 360 its the A button, im not sure on PS3 but im guessing X... the only thing im really not happy about is that reggie feels like he isnt fast at all... he never breaks tackles and he fumbles like crazy

ps3? xbox? Sorry - I quit the video game football business when my toddler son (at the time) first beat me at the old Techmo football game in the early '90's. I'm like you Joesam -- WAY out of the loop.

4. The pants were not only wrong in the commercial but they are still wrong in the game.

I'm gonna spend a little more time with it tonite and see how it goes.

Update....
1. Unlike last year...there are more uniform options. I think the correct pants are actually in the game but not sure because I chose the black on black option and it looked great. (There is...home, away, black on gold, and black on black. There may be more but I stopped when I saw black on black.)
2. The turbo button on the 360 is the RT (right trigger).
3. Environments and stadium detail look great.

So far so good. Superstar is good but I kinda miss watching the defense play itself out while you waited. (Call me weird but I kinda enjoyed that.) I'm gonna give it plenty of playing time tonite since I spent most of my evening creating a team. The options were pretty good but obviously APF 2K8 gets the upper hand on that one but still....not too bad.

ok a friend came over and was looking at it and pointed out that the page was stuck together in the booklet that came with it
lol
no I was not reading it like a playboy
because that was what he asked me
so there is a speed button but it does nothing
neither of us saw a difference in the speed of the guy running
he even said that on his 360 the game moved a lot faster
and yeah I am taking it seriously because it was dam near 60 bucks for that game

I just played for the first time this morning. I'm still on the old xBox, but the game is great IMO. Speed burst works and Reggie is virtually untouchable. I made some modifications to get Clancy and Dhani on the team and the rating was 88 overall.
