Madden NFL 08 is the third installment in the series to be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generations of consoles. In addition to the standard additions and adjustments to the roster and controls, it includes some new features.
The new read-and-react system is the most significant alteration to the gameplay. Star players are each given a “weapon” category that best describes their particular collection of skills. A simple push of a button on the line reveals mismatches that consider these weapons, signaling when it is time to make some last-minute adjustments to the play. The franchise mode has been improved to incorporate a player training component in the form of minigames and a Front Office Mode (which is analogous to the Owner Mode found in earlier editions). A brand new feature called rookie potential labels players as “gems” or “busts” after a few years in the league, depending on their draft potential. These labels cause their numbers to change by the brands they receive.
The Rings of a Champion system has been implemented in place of the Madden points used in the previous year. Rings and trophies can be earned by completing specific tasks. The awards can be risked in games, either against the game’s central processing unit (CPU) or against other human players.
