Problem is the PC version has issues running on modern windows. It's hard to find without pirating it, and the graphics don't go above 1080p. Emulating the gamecube version has nicer graphics and a crisper resolution. Only thing I like more about the PC version are the mods

@@SOFTDRINKTVWhile there ate problems on windows 10 you can find it easily on Amazon for 10 bucks without pirating it and there are mods to fix the w10 problems, and with a game as old as madden 08 is there really a difference between 1080 and 4k? Idk personally I feel like the mods make up for the differences between them but if the next windows OS is even worse with madden 08 then it's going to be bad

Because for over a decade now, they've stripped features from the game and bled customers dry with Ultimate Team, receiving very little backlash. Yea, there were a few vocal people complaining every year, but the vast majority kept shelling out for the "new" game and x amount of money on the Ultimate Team. The review outlets kept giving the game 8.whatever scores. The sheep finally woke up from their zombified state and spoke up this year. Next year's game will be better, guaranteed. Thing is, it'll only be marginally better. EA will do the bare minimum to get back to those 8.whatever review scores and have the sheep back in their zombified state. Make no mistake, it'll only take the bare minimum to do that.

Another thing that was possible was when a famous player retired he might show up in the off-season as an available coordinator for you to hire, this always happened to me with Terrell Owens for some reason. It's unbelievable to look back and realize that EA cared about their product instead of releasing the same game every year with updated rosters and gamble mechanics (MUT). The last Madden I brought was 15 and for some reason when I played the training mode I was expecting the players to come out with the training uniform but that was nothing but a distant memory when NFL football games were good. Thanks for the vid, it sure made me look way back to better times.
@Sdallyjr5 жыл бұрын
Hell, even FIFA got that treatment until the last few years when they started abusing the MUT in that game too. FIFA 15 let you play as a player, retire, and then coach and maybe OWN a team later on down the line.

@@breal1183 im use to playing Madden on madden 12 but recently got a ps2 and madden 2005, on the drafts in madden 05 the prosoects ratings are all, mosty due to speed, all of their speed is low at every position for some odd reason, is the other maddens on ps2 the same as far as drafts concerned? Example: madden 2005 the first pick in the draft was a 67 overal running back who didn't have not one 90 at any of the speed levels, all of them draft prospects speed low, one lineman had a 33 in speed. Is the other madden drafts on ps2 like this? Or are draft picks atleast respectable on other maddens? Like top first round picks should atleast be 80 overall and up

Ahh the classics... I made a complete custom franchise of all cupcake teams and let the chaos unfold. The South Park Cows vs the Portland Trees The San Antonio Banditos vs the Manhatten Minutemen If anybody ever tries this themselves, the first few draft classes are EPIC. You will find 90+ overall players in every round. The game "rebuilds" the quality of the league. I always turn off trading in franchise, so draft picks are more important. Rebuilding teams in this mode was the most fun I ever had. Every team had insane cap space so there was never any free agents. Those 7 draft picks became literal gold. It would take years to make a winning roster, and when you did, you remember where every player on your team came from. Highly recommend any madden franchise players to go back and create thier own league just as a nice change.

I've purchased Madden every year since Eddie George was on the cover in Madden 2001. Every year it seemed to get better and better until they started to remove features around Madden 10 and then would attempt to add them back in years later as "new". As the video mentions the Pro-Bowl, Super Star Mode (aka Face of the Franchise). What happened to team creation, uniform creation, offensive/defensive coordinators, retired players becoming coaches, training camps, etc. The list goes on and on. MUT is trash and microtransactions in a game like Madden is ridiculous. What also blows my mind is how gaming review sites such as IGN continue to give the games 8.0 or higher rankings each year. How??? EA is trash. I feel sorry for the new generation of gamers who don't remember what the games used to be....and could be. #boycottmadden

@@STANPEDETV I got it and have been playing it for a week.I think the shows with Chris berman are way ahead of it's time.Gameplay is amazing, I just have a problem running the ball (maybe its because I suck).The ball deflections are so good.Its very satisfying when my DB tips it up and then catches it.I enjoyed the weekly training but I wish it wasn't as hard as it was,literally every week almost every position would go down in overall. Franchise is pretty deep,the only thing I dont like is scouting and drafting. Overall its great, I cannot believe how amazing the gameplay is.

amazing_ace12 12 I haven’t played it since it came out but I remember it like yesterday. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed playing. The Chris Berman was amazing, he definitely made me a fan just from his presentations. The game was definitely before it’s time. The game is very realistic. I don’t remember running the ball like that but I do remember tapping the A button to run faster and holding it down to power up for a Juke or a Spin even a Stiff arm. I definitely do miss that game. I believe you can change the difficulty of the game. I think I was in 4th grade when it came out I couldn’t been that good at the game I remember having 200 yard rushing games and getting trophies in my crib for them.. breaking the TDs records etc. Damn I miss that game. Again I’m just happy you enjoyed playing the game and experiencing what I did and whoever else after playing.

Madden 03 and 4, you played for the lore, packed with stuff, never done before! Madden 97, turned into 11, this game can cure all kinds of depression! Madden 25, what, did we travel through time?! Nah, I mean it was pretty alright... John Madden's Football, now I've seen it all, shows how the mighty just refused to fall! Pick any game you want, you have my guarantee, cause there's a Madden just for Me! Madden Overdrive, not a nosedive, EA Sports you continue to thrive! What's their bottom goal? Their honest intent? Reminding players with pride and accomplishment. Madden CD, oh boy, oh gee! Why can't these things start growing on trees! Madden 08, it's nirvana on a plate! I don't like that one You're a fucking disgrace. Pick any game you want, you have my guarantee! 'Cause there's a madden just for me!!!!!!!!!!

If you get a PC you can play Madden 2008 on the PC, it's solid... Or get an original Xbox, it's worth it to play the old Maddens...

Madden 08 also had the best Madden intro ever imo. When Brian Dawkins opens up with "Can you feel that?"
