   i think the game is difficult and that is a plus. I have been playing Madden since 1992 and I will say that the game thru out history has had a problem with it being to easy. The wii is great exersive and well as what I have been waiting for all my life " A REAL VIDEO GAME " where you actually have to move to comtrol the players. We have really steped in the next century with this madden. to all of the ones that say they are not happy with the game you are lazy and not like to be challenged. And lets be real people don't like things that are different than the norm. I don't think that I will master the game on ALL MADDEN after playing one regualr season like all the other maddens. In my eyes this is the best madden ever. Keep up the good work EA sports.… Expand

   The controls are extremely buggy especially in the passing game. Sometimes it takes 4-5 throw motions with the wiimote to pass, and by that time you are already sacked. Also there is no controls to reverse cycle through your players pre-snap so if you accidentally pass up the player you want, you have to cycle all over again. There is no way to set a reciver hot-route unless you show your play with the 'b' button as well as there is no way to choose primary reciver without giving up your play. Although you cant even choose a play in 2player mode without your opponent seeing exactly what it is. I have played this game for only a couple hours and I have noticed many, many, many glitches, its almost like the reviewers never actually played the game and are just giving it an 80 cause it sounds ok. This game was probably pushed out too early as it is LOADED with bugs. These arent just programming bugs (like a running back freezing in the middle of the field, glitching out and fumbling the ball; or not being able to sprint into the endzone (because the sprint button makes you showboat into the endzone...VERY ANNOYING in the rush attack mini-game)) There are basic football principles that apparently EA doesnt know about. Such as intercepting a pass in the endzone, downing it and getting a safety called on you. Pretty much the only saving grace of this game is that it still has Al Michaels and John Madden commentating instead of that bafoon on xbox360 and Ps3. When Madden took over exclusive rights to the NFL liscense, many people warned of the failures of having no competition (pushing out games every year with no innovation just to make their yearly buck). I believe this principle has been clearly shown in Madden 08 for Wii. If you are still curious about this game because of the media attention it will most likely cause (madden nation hooplah) please, for your own good. RENT BEFORE YOU BUY.… Expand

   I love football games, and always find myself playing this game, but I do find a lot of problems with Madden 08 for the Nintendo Wii. Especially with the online play. First off, the passing...is horrible when playing online. Im not sure if its due to the excessive lag you have when you play online, but when you press a certain receiver(left, right, down, up) id say 60% of the time will not pass to the receiver you want. It gets very frustrating when this happens. Thats really the main problem with this game. The passing is horrible, especially for online play. The game itself is fun, but once you start playing online, its a whole new ballgame. Your play changes so much its ridiculous. Whether it be just trying to connect to the server, getting disconnected while playing, excessive lag, very poor passing(possible due to lag), not being able to let go of the ball faster than you want. This all leads to a very miserbale, non-fun, non-competetive online play.… Expand
