Ok gang, I bought the game last night and ESPN's website is wrong.

The Saint have an 88 rating overall.

Oh man... I thought about buying it as I've done every year since forever. But after that review, I think I'm going to wait a while after more feedback. No speed burst? What kind of crap is that?

There is a 'turbo' button just like the other Madden games. Pretty much works the same as the turbos of the past games.

the PS3 or the PS2

because I have the PS3 and the game and I'm reading the controles right now and it's not in the game

DeadmaN · 08-15-2007, 02:07 PM

it's not a problem on any other console but the PS3

I guess I'm wrong
yeah that must be it
and I guess that’s why there are thousand of people posting the same issues
and about the bugs in the game
and how the game freezes up and all kinds of problems

don't believe me?
ok well then read for your self

I have it on the Xbox 360. Played two games last night with a buddy and beat the pants of his Panthers. So far, I am very happy with the game.

88 is an overall score, not just the offense. I am do not remember the offensive score and I don't know if ESPN's site can be trusted.

88 is better than 78 for sure.

Well....I got it last nite. Things I noticed.....

1. The game moves a lot quicker.
2. The graphics are a little better than last years Madden.
3. The rating was 88 but I think that had more to do with our defense.
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.
