Also, the draft screens are up on the Madden 08 website.

Good point, forgot to mention that.

But on CJ's screen, the sideline looks like shit.

I guess I am the only one who is pumped about 08.

Then again, EA always gets us pumped, only to be dissapointed.

I'm looking forward to it, but not pumped.

Apparently the gameplay has improved, but I think that gets said every year.

[Buzz Killington]

I didn't read it.

What's the crappy gimmick this year?

[detroitbasketball]

There isn't one yet.

[Sportsbuck]

Yet being the key word.

the video sheds some light on some of the things we can expect

I'm kind of excited for a new game, but there's nothing there that really sticks out as making the game a lot better... The new Hit Stick sounds okay, but this is something that should be made better every year without being the highlight of the new game, not just making an upgrade once in a while.

Looks like with only the brief mentioning of Superstar Mode, it will suck again with probably nothing new about it.

Hurdling is the top feature??? Honestly how often in a game does that come into play? At least with the passing cone, that was something that happens in the game more than 3 times. And gang tackles and the new blocking... this sounds good, but only because it's been a silly problem for too long. The 2K series had this down, and it's taken Madden 3 years to get one together, and now they boast about it?

I could care less about "celebrations"... I guess it's good they finally decided not to have the same cutscene every time. And for fatigue, I like the idea, but this isn't some groundbreaking feature...

I guess they just ran out of ideas...

I want to see what will happen on the Wii version of Madden. Last year it was pretty fun to play but still needs some tweaking. Some new things would be nice to add to it in terms of gameplay features.

[USN]

the thing with the superstar mode is that it is limited by definition, only so many things to do, which makes it very repetitive, that is the aspect that can't really be fixed

I'm pumped to rent 07 and try it out on the Wii before buying it.

It is a preference thing for sure. The controls take a while to pick up basically because these controls are all new based on nothing from previous systems. I will say that Madden '07 on the Wii is the best version I have played ever. Extreme fun to be in the game like that.

Im ready to see a very, very deep Create a Team mode with tons of uniform options and other things. Even if they have to make a seperate disc to for create a team. I want a really good feature for create a team.

[Freak93]

I think that we will see features as that available through download due to increased internet usage by games.

A seperate disc for create-a-team? That would be completely worthless for EA and a good number of customers. Not happening.

Wait... Vince Young is the cover boy??

Uhhh... ok ??

Old news is so interesting.
