Anyone else picking this up tomorrow? I heard good reviews so far about it. Hopefully it is worth a crap on the PS3.

The 360 version is pretty good. I love the gameplay, but I wish there was more environment interaction like in the 2K series (fans, cutaways, etc.). Still an awesome, great-looking game, though.

I'm gonna pull the trigger based on some of the review over at operationsports.com. They should have a roster update and minor patch ready on day one. Then another gameplay patch is already at microsoft so we shouldn't be fucked over like last year.
If you're a franchise player like myself don't expect any improvements until next year.
One thing I don't like is the fact that their aren't going to be any CPU sliders until probably patch #3 in two months.
As long as the game plays better than last year and doesn't have a completely broken franchise I'll enjoy it.
I'm getting it tomorrow...I have taken a break from the past few years but with a new PS3 I am pumped again to play.
Hit me up in a few weeks florige and maybe we'll play a game or two.

PS2 madden has still been the best, but hopefully PS3 and 360 can overtake it this year. they gotta get rid of the bugs, cuz thats what is ruining it, like the DE contain glitch, and some of the rocket catching, which i heard is going to be MUCH improved this year, and a LOT harder to do.

Yeah I am a huge franchise buff too. Thats why I didn't buy the version for the PS3. The version for the 360 sucked to me as well.

Or at least a week to get used to the controls again. I haven't played Madden since 07. And that was barely because I was hooked on NBA2k7 at the time.... Plus I really hate losing. I want to see what glitches the PS3 version has that I have to take into consideration when I'm playing someone online.

:lol Actually I wish I were lying. The only thing I have used that thing for so far is watching BluRay movies on. NBA2k8 is ALOT better than on the 360. Also I just found out because I was being cheap and bought the 40gig version I can't play my old PS2 games on it......:bang

Yeah I feel you. But sometimes when I'm in Best Buy or whatever and I see those old games for like $10 I would like to at least have the option of picking them up if I wanted. If I had known that I would had def gotten the 60gig version instead. Someone here said that the newer 80gig version can't even play the older games. With as much money as those systems are you would think that you could.....

Xbox has some games that are backward compatible but I dont play them. There are too many good new games I would rather play.

yeah I haven't played in so long I need plenty of time myself.

I did the same thing for bluray.
And I don't think the bigger gig version plays all the games anyway..maybe only 70%?

I didn't know that.
But then again there isn't any old games I want to play (besides final fantasy tactics) so I would have wasted ythe money anyway.

And will they finally fix it where you can have the 3 option boxes when picking a play rather than always be weary of your partner looking at your play.

its very very good. MUCH closer to the PS2 style. the players dont all look bulky as crap and stuff. the movement is much smoother. only issue so far is that it seems like the controls are VERY lost, and the speed of the game is extremely quick, even quicker than the PS2 was. seems almost too fast. takes a second to get used to (obviously) but so far i like it a lot.

How are the small details like the crowd and the sideline? Most importantly though, how is the commentary and the Franchise mode. And the last question, which system?

PS3. i didnt get to play franchise yet. graphics are stunningly good.
commentary kinda got on my nerves though, but thats probably just cuz cris collinsworth gets on my nerves, period.

Since I play the Cowboys...
This will be the first year I don't sign every good player in FA, trade them for picks, completely tear down my team by trades, auto complete the first season and rebuild everything with draft picks.

Man that part of it is sooo fun. The offseason is just as fun as the season to be honest. Thats why i wanted to know how the franchise mode was for the PS3. It wasn't there for 08.

Best franchise mode was in like 98 or 99 when franchise mode was still really new, and every new rookie class had all these odd names like "Hsieh"and "Vhang" and after about 6 years the names of all the players on your team would end up looking eerily similar to the Japanese production team in the game credits.

It wasn't there for the PS3 version at least. I think they were just trying to get the release out the same time the 360 came out with their version. So there was alot of stuff left off.
