More Bugs in Madden 2008 for 360

PSYKOMANTiS waited for weeks, days, hours, minutes to get my copy of Madden 2008 for my Xbox 360. PSYKOMANTiS could not wait for what is to him, the football experience that always seems to kick off the season of pigskin video gaming. This is the pinnacle of greatness...sitting on the couch with your friends, a couple beers, and some beef sandwiches.

WARNING: ****EXCESSIVE USE OF "BAD" WORDS*****

[TriggerHappy]

Now there is an agry gamer...Anyone else having these problems ?

[sticky doja]

but my neighbor has it and he hasnt said a word about anything like this.

[Armyless]

And not an accurate representation of Favre's football skills? (with the exception of running through solid matter)

[Rooftrellen]

Ouch, but...true.

Farve wasn't the one going though solid matter, though, but where his skills are currently, and on the Packers, I'm not even sure that would make him a great QB.

[BlLL GATES]

the only ones having these problems are the poor rrodmachine owners hahahaha
everything about that system sucks hahahah
poor games, poor gamers, poor system
hahahahaha
IT SUCKSSSSSSS

[timmyp53]

he walked right through the wall...

[CNIVEK]

No review...for ANY version, ever mentioned any bugs like this; this guy apparently got a bad copy. Regardless, just like with Madden's Raiders little 13 y.o. rant he sent to EA, this IS NOT how you get results....cursing, and acting like a total jackass.

As for the walking through the barrier....when you're running at 60fps, no weak-ass digital wall is gonna stop you! :p

[sticky doja]

"As for the walking through the barrier....when you're running at 60fps, no weak-ass digital wall is gonna stop you!"

I don't care who you are, thats funny.

[Mu5afir]

Yeah, you just stated that every other copy of madden is different.. which I am sure can't be since they make the EXACT SAME COPY of the game over and over again. It's called "mass production" look it up, and don't call people an "idiot", thanks.

You can't simply get a BAD COPY with BUGS maybe a bad copy that won't play. But a BAD COPY of a game doesn't have bugs, all copies of the game do.

[ReBurn]

I doubt if there's any differences between copies on release day. But in any event, he's having issues.

[Armyless]

because my comments can't do it justice.

"What an Idiot", "this guy apparently got a bad copy".

[Vip3r]

"this guy apparently got a bad copy."

LOL quote of the day. Please explain how can someone get a bad copy?

[Ju]

That cries for a comment. Yeah right. A "bad copy". This made my day. Now DVDs rot on the shelfs. I though it was "fresh meat", how can that rot within a day. ... bad copy... ha ha ha... lol can't stop it.

[Kratos12]

CNIVEK proved to be the biggest idiot with his "BAD COPY" comment :)

Do us all a favor and please dont show your face here again. I wouldnt if I were you after such a stupid comment.

PS: I just showed this to my boss and he fell off his chair laughing.

[THC CELL]

Sorry i just laugh my head clean off

He is right man. Why?

[TriggerHappy]

EA - Why you ask ? Simple my friend, MONEY

[n4gbrane]

what does that mean? must have a bad copy...?

bad copies skip or don't play at all.. bugs like these result from bad code. code can't get rewritten during a disc burn.

[jay3]

Well, PS3 must have more bugs since all reviews say 360 is better (If not the same) so...yeah. Take that as you will.

[shysun]

Show me the Video of the PS3 bugs,don't just speak fanboy damage control!

[solidt12]

The only reason the 360 version has higher reviews from a few is because it runs at 60 fps which is faster than the PS3 version and has nothing to do with gameplay. I wonder if the PS3 version has the same bugs. It should since the game is suppose to be identical besides the frame rate. If not then I would rather have the PS3 version that works than the 360 version that looks pretty but doesn't work. Either way EA is wack and can't develop a bug free game.

[WafflesID]

Wow Amazing. You actually managed to turn this into a PS3 vs 360 argument.

Congrats. Takes a hell of a fanboy to do that in a "B1tch about EA" thread.

[Ju]

That is almost as hilarious as "bad copy". You guys are killing me. lol

[skitzoid]

1st it's a bad copy.
Now it's the PS3 must have more bugs since all reviews say 360 is better.
What's next?
The tv it was played on?

[tethered]

Hahaha!
OH now that is entertainment!

I only played one game with my PS3 version so I'm not sure if this will happen on the PS3 or not (I hope not) but I don't think I would get that angry if it did happen.

From the one game I did play, Madden 08 (yes, even the PS3 version) is way better than 2K sports big pile of crap football game.

[WafflesID]

Ya know, it sucks. I REALLY was hoping 2K's APF would be a lot better.

And the bad thing is that it has nothing to do with the lack of current rosters. It's the actual gameplay. I'm hoping they can fix a ton of stuff for next year. Maybe even in a patch. I really WANT to love APF... *sigh*

It was better back when you actually had a choice between madden and 2K football.

God I hate EA. But I need my football...so ... ARGH.

[Omegasyde]

Same here Waffles, This a is a no win situation for all football fans this season. Is Blitz coming out this year?

[Bill Gates]

Bugs!! on a 360 game?....Well, that is just preposterous!

M$ should just rename the 360, the "Xbox Raid" since it attracts so many bugs...AAAHAHHAHAHAA

Seriously XBOT, I have never heard of a system having SO MANY problems. Talk about a shiety "Next Gen" gaming experience....When will you XBOTS learn?....AAAHHAHAHHA

I can't believe you ROBOTS took away my lovely bubbles. I have so many positive thing to say about the 360, but it's just that when I state the negative things first, I have no more bubble to state the positive things about it. But it's better this way because their's NOTHING positive about it anyway...AAHHAHAHAHA

Drink my Oil XBOTS....AAHAHAHAA

[BlLL GATES]

I agree man, the 360 is trash. Why waste money on such junk
hahaha xbots hahahas0-df98we0324095t4rgtse
360 sucks bawls

[gamehendge]

looks like the PS3 version is better after all.

[CNIVEK]

...

[InMyOpinion]

Yeah...you're right. PS3 games have no bugs...

[AllroundGamer]

lol talking of experienced programmers :D anyone wonder now about those lame ports??

[gEnKiE]

thats funny if you ask me :) the game is a pos anyways..

[InMyOpinion]

The title is kinda misleading, makes it sound like the 360 version has more bugs than the other versions. Anyways, it sucks! F*** EA!

[sweeper]

Somebody is MAAAAAAD

[timmyrulz]

I bet who posted this is some crapstation 3 noob who has scowered the ends of the earth and back to find some negative news about this as they cant handle the fact that they have invested an awful lot of loot in a dvd player which cant even handle games as good as a dreamcast, 30 fps ha ha ha, what happened to the 120 FPS like mister sony promised you! Have you ever seen the southpark episode that rips off pokemon? well every day that reminds me of sony and all you fan boys! and before you all say that im an xbot, i own them both, only the ps3 is collecting more dust than an 1840's antique lost in my basement

[gamehendge]

hahaha....conspiracy theories already.

[shysun]

The video came from a 360 OWNNER!!Stop with the damn damage control!

[Armyless]

I'd keep that under check if I were you. Maybe you forgot to wear your tinfoil hat today, cuz you're losing it.

You seem to be a little too invested in this "console war" to be mentally stable.

[Watkins]

omg, hahaha. BEst comments EVER! "They" even manage to turn it into a 360 vs ps3 thing. I totally fail to see how sony promising 120 fps (as if that even happened, what's the use of 120 fps anyway?) has ANYTHING to do with a buggy version of Madden 08. Hahaha, thanks for the entertainment guys. Really

[MANTIIS]

You don't own a PS3 you lying sack of shyte.

[Snake_Doctor]

Well I can say that for NCAA 08 it is the same. I threw a corner route for one play and sure enough he catches jogs by the mascot and into the stands (oh yeah, through a concrete wall). I wish that could be the same for the LBs though... User Ghost Move!

[omfg_111]

he is quite right ... i mean... what the fu** ?

such bugs in a game rofl ... did the game ever go gold`?

[MBS1]

I've said once, I'll say it again. MADDEN IS PONG

Do Not Waste Your Money!

[dork0783]

that was so funny LOL!!WHAT THE F_CK! LOL!

[mighty_douche]

looks like EA didnt just cut corners on the ps3 version huh? oh well crap ass american football just got crapper!

edit @ armyless... dont watch it??? sorry have i come to the right site, this isnt 'NEWS FOR TV VIEWERS' is it?

[Armyless]

No matter. If you don't like American football, don't watch it. You don't see us commenting on that rivetting score-fest we call Soccer do you?

edit @ mighty_douche:
It isn't News 4 American Football Gamers either.

[Wile]

Fanboys will dig up anything to rant about other console.

[omfg_111]

but shut the toilet up ...

it not about the console its about the game ... nuthead!

[Wile]

...but the comments in here are mostly about the consoles. Everybody chill. They're using this guy's rant to turn it into a console flamewar. No? *sigh*

NaturalBornGamer you need to relax and read the comments in here and if you can still tell me that this article isn't being flipped into a console flamewar.

[chasegamez]

ps3 rules

[medziarz]

uu uuu uuuuuuuuu!
MADDEN @ 60fps! the best lineup!

[rowdy 1]

EA has monolopized the football market. There's no reason for them to give a damn about quality cause your going to be buy it. There not going to optimize the ps3 version because your going to buy it. Now this guy did get a raw deal, and I love his rants he had me Fu#@ing balling. NO GAMER SHOULD EXPECT MUCH FROM EA THOUGH.

[supnub5]

then what about Fight Night Round 3.

[tehcellownu]

haha..my friend got the ps3 version no problems at all..i guess a lot of xbots goin to experience these type of bugs..they probaly got used it by now..since they enjoy payin for cheap and crappy products..cough 360

[achira]

looks like the xbox360 has no collision detection for achieving 60 fps, lol thats so funny.

[omansteveo]

If there was no collision detection then you would'nt be able to tackle anyone...i have it on xb360 and that hasn't happened to me at all...but Madden has always had glitches, i mean its a game for crying out loud...last year on PS3 and xb360 they had the cheap animation glitches that let you Juke/Spin through guys.
I mean come on he ran a touchdown and they guy when through the wall, it would be a real problem if the guy got stuck there and he couldnt play madden ever again or he had to shut his system down or somethin.

Real madden gamers no that these games are'nt perfect and it doesn't come down to a single system its goes across the board. EA has screwed up madden over the years but theres no doubt out it that this s the best next-gen version glitches aside and im happy with, running through a wall doesnt hender gameplay all you do is press start get to the next play and GAME ON!

[WoodyWood09]

The only way EA will get the picture if people stop buying there crap until then they will continue to put bullcrap out!!!

[ZombiesNJ]

Someone at EA needs to be held accountable for this sorry excuse for a football game. I think they should just take next year off to refine the game to near perfection. They have have to put out a game every year and you can't make a great game in less then a year. It's time they step up their game and show everyone that Madden is worth buying again. Until they do, I won't be buying the game for a long time. As they used to say on salute your shorts....GET IT RIGHT OR PAY THE PRICE!!!! haha
