I like that, but it's rough when you're trying to step up in the pocket and the ball goes sailing over my open receiver's head.

Zone coverage in madden 08 is almost useless...somehow a good receiver will always burn the CB and S no matter how deep the zone coverage is....its freakin frustrating...yet when your on offense, going deep is almost impossible with the likes of Curtis and Brown. Curtis sometimes gets free, but rarely. Passing it just about impossible. Hook routes, impossible to tell if its good to throw or not, since its all based on timing. It may look like he's in front, but CPU will jump in front somehow and pick it off. I have 5 picks and 1 TD with McNabb 3 games deep in franchise...QB rating of about 40.0 with 40% completion rating, hah!

Did I mention I am playing on All-Pro level with computer sliders down also.

I played an online game last night, and neither one of us scored a TD, the game ended 11 to 9.

Geez, it's not THAT tough.
Mussa, the main difference is you need to do directional passing with the left stick. Your receivers will make up the difference in the pass placement, so if your guy is running a route to the right, then use the left stick and move it slightly to the right. NCAA didnt have that this year, Madden does, it just takes a little while to get used to it.

I do use directional passing thats just it. I think I just am still adjusting to xbox controller. Its almost an entirely new game. I'll quit my bitchin and take it out on you fools online.

Anyone try the new Tiger Woods game on the 360? I'm not a huge golf fan, but some of my friends are going to get it and are trying to talk me into it. Is it worthwhile?

Wingspan · August 30, 2007, 10:52:26 AM

The only way I golf is virtually.

I like the Demo, i just cant see myself playing that, its not enough of a fast pace. I'm in the same boat though Zanshin, 4 friends are getting it, and they are already trying to get me on there. EA owns the world this time of year. They already got me for NCAA, Madden, NHL on Sept 11th.

SunMo · August 30, 2007, 11:37:34 AM

i love the Tiger Woods games for PS2, but got bored pretty quick with 07 for 360, not sure why

phattymatty · August 30, 2007, 05:02:28 PM

they're coming out with a "party" game for the Wii, which includes beer pong as one of the games.

oh god.

Quasimoto · August 31, 2007, 08:40:12 AM

Sorry I haven't logged on Live yet for anyone to kick my ass in '08. I recently bought RE4 and Metroid Prime: Corruption for Wii and haven't been able to stop playing either. They are badass as farg.

Video beer pong?

Wow - queer beyond measure.

i dont know, could be pretty cool, but i'd have to play

Cerevant · September 04, 2007, 03:28:46 PM

Anyone give Tiger Woods '08 a try on the Wii? I'm wondering how it compares to the golf in Wii sports.

Any WoW geeks on CF? I've recently become addicted.
