« These animations are gorgeous to look at, from Reggie Bush doing his trademark summersault for six, or a Chad Johnson river dance after a score. This is because the game runs at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second...Madden 08 is simply superb. If you could only own one next-gen football, this is it. »
« The definitive football game to buy this season. »
« For football fans it simply cannot be missed. There are really no glaring faults at all. One would be hard-pressed to improve upon the graphics, controls, sounds, modes of play, varied content, and online play. »
« This is the Madden that hardcore footballers have been waiting for. The rest of us should be sure to tone down the difficulty. »
« Minus a few hitches here and there with presentation, commentary, and no online leagues, this may be one of the best Madden titles in recent memory, and easily the best on next gen platforms. »
« After two disappointing efforts the last two seasons -- disappointing by the high standard that EA's football franchise set for itself over the years -- Madden NFL 08 redeems the franchise as one of the best-playing football games in recent memory. »
« You'll find a much smarter brand of football in 08: Quarterbacks now scramble when no one is open, wideouts continue to make blocks 30 yards downfield, and defensive backs rarely fall for the deep ball. Some might even say that pass defense is a tad too stingy this season. »
« While Madden NFL 08 certainly isn’t perfect, it’s damn near close. The on-field action is stellar, thanks largely to a buttery smooth framerate and one of the best animation systems seen in a sports game to date. You’ll stay busy with the Franchise and Superstar mode for a good deal of time, and the impeccable online netcode will ensure that you’ll have an excellent experience on Xbox Live. »

« Where is Madden 08 2, EA?! Why did you have to make Madden 09 instead of 08 2?! I cry myself to sleep EVERY NIGHT because of this! It gets an 8 »
« 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. »
« I mean Madden 08 is nirvana on a plate and if you don't like it your a god damn disgrace. »
