Upcoming Madden 08 Community Event
July 2, 2007 by pastapadre

Next week brings the annual Madden community event, in which a handful of community leaders get an opportunity to spend time with Madden 08. Unfortunately we will not be joined in person by the producers however we will be given an opportunity to submit any questions to them after. This year it will be taking place in Los Angeles and runs from the 10th-13th with the Madden gameplay session taking place on the 12th.
As always, I'm open to taking any suggestions of what to look for or questions to ask. I'll be writing up my impressions of the game as well as a general recap of the event. I may also do a PadreCast right from LA.
Since it is a limited amount of time we have obviously some things will not be addressed. For example I don't intend to spend much time if any at all with Franchise mode, however I'll jump in and try out Owner mode and Superstar mode. After posting up my reports I'll attempt to answer any questions that are presented to me. We do our best to dig into the game and give a general overview of our experience with it, and anyone who has followed my previous reports from community days would have an idea of what to expect from my end. Since there is a group of people, usually you'll be able to find a wide array of info in the days following.
If there is anything you'd like me to look out for or try and get a response to, feel free to use the contact form or leave a comment.


Pasta it would be awsome if you could ask why has 4 player co-op been such a problem for them on the next-gen consoles? It be much appreciated!
Looking to see if they have the implemented the feature that NCAA, and Tiger Woods is touting that allows you to capture video of the games and/or highlights.
Unfortunately there isn’t a screenshot or video feature for Madden this year. I know finding out about that was a bummer for me.
Please find out if madden08 has fair play!!! Last year it suck playing online an people would go for it on 4th down every time.One last request if you would be so kind please give some info for ps3. thanks Pasta
Sorry Pasta I forgot to ask you if the game play is that big of a diff. from ps3 to xbox360 frame rate wise.Just wanna say thanks for the time an effort you put in for madden fans.
Thanks pasta, yes that is truley a bummer seeing how NCAA is going to have this feature.
How about concentrate on the game play specifically if the inside runnign game or power backs are super dominating like they are in 07. I hope they balanced that out a little bit and perhaps the defensive percentages of stoppping those fullback dives on short yardage is increased.
Can you check out edit player, see if its really in the game
