    Oh look EA Sports now cares about Madden again? I wonder why?

    http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/784/784281p1.html

    Looks like they are actually not just recycling the same game with new rosters this season, could that be because 2K is making a football game this year, I think so.

    I'll probably buy Madden 08, and 2K8. First time I will buy a Madden game in 3 years, because it actually seems like they are really putting effort into it.

    Wow, they decided to step up their effort now that they have competition? Inconceivable.

    Competition is always good. Madden is still so far behind where they should be though, it's too bad they haven't had more competition in the past 2-3 years

    Poor Vince Young, he's just a kid. Why'd they have to pick him? Also He had a great year, but nothing spectacular. Whoever chose him for the cover must hate the Titans =p

    Took over the reins of a terrible 0-3 Titans team, he was 8-5 as a starter, in the playoff hunt until a loss in the last game of the year, and was elected rookie of the year. How pedestrian.

    Look at those offensive rookies of the year for the last 20 years. I don't recognize a single one of them.

    In all seriousness, though, I think he'll be in trouble this year. Aside from just the general sophomore slump, the Titans lost a LOT of weapons on their offense.

    There hasn't been a good Madden game since Madden '93. The football games today are not as intuitive as they used to be, I need simpler controls.

    I can't wait for 08. Sounds like it is much improved. I buy it ever year. Not because I like to pay for roster upgrades, but I like to play online. But this sounds like a big upgrade.

    Unfortunately, so do I.


    Looks like the madden curse made its way down to the rookie of the year.
