Turn Down For Watkins Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I am, and I did last year, me and my brother got there about 15 minutes before midnight figuring that it wouldn't crowded but it was absolutely mobbed.
thebug Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I am, and I did last year, me and my brother got there about 15 minutes before midnight figuring that it wouldn't crowded but it was absolutely mobbed. Â Â Hey if you want to pick up Madden at midnight, good for you, I will pickup some hot chic.
Drew026 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I'll throw in a relavent response. Â Yeah I'm going to get it at midnight as well. I went 2 years ago and did the same thing you did and I didn't get the game til nearly 1. They ran out of copies within 15 minutes for kids who didn't reserve it so I plan on being in the parking lot at around 11 tomorrow.
JuanGuzman Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I have been really dissapointed with Madden 07/08 for Xbox 360 seriously the complexity and realism of the game play fell off from just regular xbox and ps2. I hope to god it gets better in 09 because that was the only reason I bought my 360.
Drew026 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I thought it came out the 12th? Â Â It does...12:01 am is the 12th
Max997 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 It does...12:01 am is the 12th  12:01 will be the 11th  although I really hope you and the OP are sitting in line right now

DDD Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 It does...12:01 am is the 12th  When is the release date in Bejing? Was it 12 hours ago or something?
JStranger76 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Got it last night and so far I hate the running game but everything else is pretty good. Also difficult to win individual battles as a D-lineman, we'll see if practice helps, but so far thumbs down for running the ball and getting sacks as a D-lineman.
BillsNYC Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I have Wii, and haven't played the franchise in 3 years as all I read is that it hasn't changed much, especially franchise mode. I was thinking of spending $10 and buying Madden 07, as all I'd miss is the latest players, however I spend most time in Franchise so doesn't make much of a difference. Thoughts?
Big Turk Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I am, and I did last year, me and my brother got there about 15 minutes before midnight figuring that it wouldn't crowded but it was absolutely mobbed. Â Oh yes...Madden... Â I am sure they added all these cool new features on how you can add fans into the game while ignoring realism issues such as players accepting 5 million dollar signing bonuses when IRL they would be closer to 25 million, allowing you to pretty much sign every star player under the cap even after you cut people. Not to mention the old, muffed punt returned for a TD that has not occurred in an NFL game for probably like 15 or more years, if it ever has(not sure if you were ever able to return a muffed punt for a TD). Â Then there is the issue of players running 3.5 40s in game or accelerating from 0-top speed in like 2 strides... Â I gave up on Madden a long time ago because while its flashy eye candy, the overall realism is just not very good...

K-Gun10 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Whats the new features this year? Example, Hitstick, plamaker ect.
JStranger76 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Well I've come to the conclusion that running the ball is a complete waste of time in this game. You can't in any difficulty level higher than rookie on 360. This truely blows!!!!

"Word on the street" is that the new Madden for Wii is a major improvement that makes great use of the platform's capabilities. I pre-ordered mine and it will arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know how I like it.
BillsD#1in2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 What do you mean that you can't run the ball?
