[blitz-dice]

as of now wala pa siyang team.. matagal na siyang binitawan ng Pats.. mahal kasi.. may mga talks about retirement pero malabo pa daw sa ngayong mangyari.. hehe.. magaling naman si Laurence Maroney, 2nd year player palang, ganda ng potential.. hehe

mga bro meron s DB 3495 price, binigay skin ng 3350. megamall branch. regular tv TEXT SPEAK VIOLATION gamit ko ok nman laruin

Hehe ..dude got mine today din at GH....yup its 3495 card, 3350 cash?...only 3available copies kanina ---aVince anda Miguel got theother two daw...

Madden has been traditionally more expensive at DB as compared to other newly released games...mas mababa daw ang GRAW2 kapag lumabas accg. to them.... the trick is " wag tayo lahat mag pa pre-order" kasi kapag tumataas ang demand ng mga pre-order...kpag labas ng game mas mahal...

[Draego]

yup, medyo magaling din si Evans, FB ng Pats.. dati si Patrick Pass yung fullback, nila pero ala masyado enta.. wakokoko..

[blitz-dice]

[remnants_of_day]

[blitz-dice]

TEXT SPEAK VIOLATION for the info brad

[Draego]

Saya saya hehehe!

Initial impressions...I find it slow, compared to the 07 version I played in PS2...Loading times are also atrocious. First time to play, so learning curve has to set in pa....maybe after 3 games or so, masasanay na rin ako...

[cincibearcat]

I thought i saw a lot of new animations sa NCAA08...mas marami pa pala ito...

There's a halftime and post game highlights summary with the ability to replay the entire play.

the cutscenes show that same "hazy" outline.

better arm and leg modelling...may shading na na "nadumihan" angmga braso and tights.

a lot more camera angles specially sa kickoff.

The audio quality of Marshall Faulks voiceis boring...sana dinamihan nla ng ESPN like interface parang yung sa NFL2K5 dati..

Gameplay wise...mas marami ngang INT and fumbles as some complain pero i like this "spontanaiety" part kasi you could be on a crucial drive and then your RB coughs up the ball at the goal line...pwede namang i-tone down sa settings.

Stiff arms are back big time wth animations causing correspondingly "head turning" results

play selection interface is simpler .

i could add more re: "stringing" animations pero paulit ulit na na maraming bago--you just have to see it as it greatly improves the gameplay compared to '07...

dami pa...ill add more as i play along....

@munskie
yup ..they really made it slower....para to give you time to adjust prior to the snap (i.e. read defenses...move people around..alter routes/audibles) etc...I noticed kasi sa ncaa 08 pagkapili mo ng play almost 10sec na lang snap clock....dito you get the full "slower" 45 sec almost....purists will like it as it'll make you seem na ikaw dumiskarte based on your knowledge of the player and the game.

Still have to learn how to read the weapons dahil ang dami...in addition you can exploit mismatches and you can select to play as a receiver and "call " the QB for the ball...on the other side..if you're getting burned by a receiver often you can focus on that receiver just be careful abou leaving another guy open.

Guide i go by is tht buti na lang the weapons are based on the real world abilities of the player so it doesnt take an avid fan long to know that Carson Palmer is both smart and has a cannon arm .. or that Ray Lewis is both smart and can cause crushing hits, etcetc...

More to follow.

Waw... nice post! Bumili ako nito... kaso PS2 version... hehehe :heh:

@cincibearcat pare malaki ba talaga pagkakaiba sa 08? kase dami nagsasabi na parehas na parehas daw sa 07 yung 08 eh.

[tuts]

2 days ko n nilalaro so far eto mga na notice ko
1. mabagal ang loading
2. may sudden freeze after every play ( sandali TEXT SPEAK VIOLATION yung freezing )
3. walang net na sumasalo sa bola during fieldgoal conversion
kayo mga bro na experience nyo ba to?

[blitz-dice]

wala pa din ako copy.. hehe, tinawagan ko na DB ATC, park square, megamall ubos na daw

yer right....my first two running plays with frank gore, he both couged it up....two fumbles in my first two run plays....I guess I have to adjust settings na lang...I dont wanna play with 5 or more fumbles in a game...dina gaano realistic yun...

[blitz-dice]

busy busy nga daw ang mga referee based sa mga reviews ng mga madden gamers.. lagi daw may encroachment etc. btw, magkaka madden 08 nako mya, pick upin ko nalang sa DB park square buti may dumating na copy ngayon! try ko mag online mamaya, laro tayo mga fafa

[cincibearcat]

@cincibearcat pare malaki ba talaga pagkakaiba sa 08? kase dami nagsasabi na parehas na parehas daw sa 07 yung 08 eh.

LAyo pare...wala namang "string" moves sa 07....sa 07 almost sure catch ang WR mo kapag 1 on 1 lang sa corner..dito nasalo mo na pero bago ka lumapag--pag tama sa iyo ng corner nabibitawan pa...walang sure ball lalo na sa crossing route at sinalubong ka ng safety sa dibdib...hehe hawak mo na biglang incompletion pa...


Just played an online game....i'm on dsl so medyo may lag minsan...pero gameplay wise...panalo...as in 1-0 na ako hehe...

btw if you can't find the roster update just play an online game and you'll be prompted for an online update...
di gaano accurate....yung RB ng bengals out for the season na ...sa update naglalaro pa..

with regards to the stringing moves...minsan nagiging O.A. ang CPU....naka break-away run na yung running back nya...kung anu-ano pang weird juke moves ang ginagawa pati sidestep eh wala namang katabi....sumobra naman.

1...yup mas mabagal...if you notice tho at the end of the game...you can replay virtually every play run during the entire game !!! nakasave kasi bawat play as a clickable highlight...wala nito sa 07

2...the freeze occurs when the screen transitions from that "hazy" effect to the "sharper" effect...HD kuno....unnecessary addition in my opinion.
3....net has not been present kahit sa 07...walaring on-field referee...they just appear after every penalty

[blitz-dice]

finally got a copy..

what i like:

1. the defensive play maker is back!! eto talaga yung kulang sa 07, where you can send a defensive player in a zone, man or blitz in an instant..

2. yung itsura ng mga players! hehe, kasi dati kahit kicker, kasing katawan ng lahat! si David Akers, kicker ng Eagles, kasing katawan ni Michael Strahan

what i hate:

1. the play calling screen.. sana binalik na sa dati, like sa PS2.. kasi dito alam ng kalaban mo yung pipiliin mong offense and defense.. nakakainis yun, example kapag hail mary pinili mo, alam ng kalaban, mag quarter 3-deep prevent para makontra yung play. hehe

2. of course, 30 fps.. dahil dito minsan parang nagfreeze ng konti yung game

yun palang sa ngayon, lalaro muna ako! wakokok..

@cincibearcat, na-add na kita sa PSN right? rmmsports ba yun? hehe
