Madden 08 had sim issues. I remember having to increase the pass tendency of every head coach and adjusted rb auto subs to fix the stats, while keeping track of every head coach to not royally screw it.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

So you had to user every team to do that??

[@unknownactions1438]

I remember the raiders in madden 10 on ps2 had like 79 pass tendencies to 21 rush it would always ruin Darren McFadden

[@jolteon345]

@@NuCkInFuTs1 Yeah, but Madden 08 had actually functioning CPU management settings. Took about 30-40 min a year to fix everything in week 1, only thanks to the RB auto subs, which were done based on ovr (IE if a team had an 85 and 83, it would be every other formartion. If there was one very clear starter, the backup gets autosubbed every 4)

[@princenoreally]

Even with that issue this game is still way better then madden now a days and is gonna be better then madden 23

[@jolteon345]

@@princenoreally Based on the spoilers, better than Madden 23 has to wait. It looks like they finally made significant strides in Franchise again. Granted nothing from the past 6 or so years will feel as good as dynamic weather (15 is the last one before Frostbyte I remember playing and it was nice having more than 3 weather conditions), there’s a chance 23 feels better mainly due to not feeling dated.

[@darkokat]

Hey Bengal, the reason that Kevin Smith was so slow vertically is because in the ps2 there was an error with the up stick and you had to really push it up and that's not your natural hand motion. Idk what controller you used but I think that was the reason.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

The reason why the starting running backs have so many carries is because the game is broken and it only gives the starting running back all the carries when you simulate, they don't give any carries to the backup running backs unless the starting running back gets hurt. Shit is so annoying! 🤦

[@TrinityShoji]

Madden 2009 is the Lions roster that went 0-16 but your best chance to avoid history is to go back to 08 and work upwards. Most of the best players on the Lions in 08 were gone the next season The OL was shredded: Damien Woody left for New York and Shaun Rogers was in Cleveland Kevin Jones had jumped ship, so the Lions drafted Kevin Smith... who also wore #34... What little talent they had in the secondary jumped ship, and Ernie Sims was the only returning linebacker The Lions had added no notable talent in the following off-season, went undefeated in the preseason, and proceeded to lose EVERY game.
