Excelle Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Is it just me, or does anyone else find it a bit strange that Madden 08 and Tiger Woods 08 are meant to be released in two months time, and yet we know pretty much nothing about them? EA surely can't be holding back until E3 can they, given that would probably be less that a month from release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Madden 08: - Exhibition match-ups - Online lobby with real-time leaderboards - EA Locker features - EA “My Profile” when online, which includes country of origin, win/loss record, defensive percentage, overall ranking, and 5-star reputation score - ESPN ticker updates - Promised downloadable content such as roster updates planned for late 2008, early 2009 - Friend Code Implementation: Unknown as of right now, interface will be similar from other versions. Wii players will be able to randomly play against an opponent. - No voice chat, but will offer EA’s instant-messaging system - Offline: 22-mini-game party mode, which allow players to play new drills such as the 40-yard dash. Also includes a football-trivia mini-game. Your performance in party mode will also affect your party mode rating, which can go as high as 99. This rating is recorded via your system’s own Mii roster. Tiger Woods 08 - Well, The Wii version of 07 is selling well, so they probably don't want to detract from that. NBA Live 08 - They seem a bit quiet about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 EA never makes a big deal out of these games as last year's screens are close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelle Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Shame I'm not really bothered about Madden, as there seems to be more news about that around. Only seen a 360/PS3 preview of TW. Main things on my wishlist for TW08? Power bar, fix swing, online play. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhang7 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 if madden doesnt use friend codes and the 08 range is goin to be online, does that mean titles like tiger woods are not gone to have friend codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePigMarcher Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 if madden doesnt use friend codes and the 08 range is goin to be online, does that mean titles like tiger woods are not gone to have friend codes I would ASSUME that since it is going to use the EA Persona thing , it is likely that that ID will stretch across the whole EA range , it would be a bit stupid not to do it like that. Out of interest , does anyone know why us NHL fans are getting shafted on Nintendo consoles. I miss my NHL action and Strikers* has proved that it could work. * I use Strikers as an example because the game plays out more like hockey than football.

Haden Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Anyone have any experience of the EA matchmaking tool or whatever it is? Easy to use hard to use etc? I agree about NHL especially considering the new fifa viewpoint is just like oldschool nhl games! I would have thought nhl would be easier to bring to the wii than fifa tbh.

Zechs Merquise Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think everything is a bit quiet at the moment, a bit like the calm before the storm that is E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparko Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's a shame that there's only about 3 distinct models in the crowd, hopefully it's just an early build. I wonder how the controls will be, could have potential I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
