I would give this game a 67/100 but I rounded it up to a 7/10. Let me preface this by saying I haven't played the PS2 maddens, but this is certainly better than any Madden on the Ps4. The intro gets me hyped every time, the soundtrack is great, loading times aren't bad for a 2007 game, and the UI is nice. This game has good gameplay. Not great, but fun. I wouldn't call it a perfect simulation as it has its flaws but the gameplay is certainly fun and does a good enough job at simulating football. The franchise honestly lacks depth, but create-a-team kinda saves it. It's like a little worse than what we have today. The presentation isn't very realistic, but it's very unique. I enjoy Marshall Faulk's stuff but he doesn't have that much to say. The commentary's pretty generic and the commentator doesn't have much to say, but it's a 2007 game so I'll cut it some slack. This game has a lot of stuff to do. there's this cool ring and trophy system that gives me more of a reason to grind. Going back to features, the minigames are a good time and they don't really stale. Superstar, while not being as good as the ps2 version, is still great. I do like the player weapons system but it could be explained a bit better. IDK at what point a skill becomes a weapon. If you simulate franchise games, (especially when you supersim) the outcomes usually aren't very realistic. But overall, while Madden 08 has its flaws, its still a good game and much better than current Madden. Is it worth 60 dollars? No, but it's 5 bucks on ebay. You have no reason not to buy it.
