[b]MADDEN NFL 08[/b]

I didnt see it posted so...
Who here got Madden 08
So what do you think.
My 360 gamertag is OSUbreeze. Look for me online.
Personally...
Well I have HDMI for 1080i resolution so Graphics are a 10 of course. Gameplay is like an 8 or 9. Its funny I say that because except for way to many fumbles, (at least according to message boards) and the ease of which CB's return INTS for TD's (first hand) down-by-down its pretty damn good.
The problems I have with it are the following:
Tackling - Maybe I just suck but it seems like even scrubs can break a 1 on 1 full speed tackle. But now that yo can tackle high/low, you have to be careful
Highlight Stick - Any ball carrier can look like reggie bush. the ratings only affect the speed at which you cut and juke, not the ability to do so.
Animations - Sometimes it just seems like the players are gliding, mostly only when using the jukes.
Now the good
INT's - sure if you make a dumb throw the CPU still will make the pick, but at least only the good CB's play like Champ Bailey. In addition, a good play call will still allow you to get yards on a good CB. the players dont have eyes in the backs of their heads anymore.
The Rock - Congrats, you can run the ball again. Then again its pretty hard to get stopped for NO gain.
Superstar Mode - Its still a little rough but I actually like the fact the camera spotlights only you. it makes it feel like to have a responsibility on the field. And now you can sim the game until your player is back on the field.
Passing - Deep passes actually work again. The last time I played in 06 this was practically impossible.
WEAPONS - Makes the game seem more like a chess match
