Who has it?
I've been playing tonight on XBOX 360. Loving it. Need to get some good sliders in due time,but love all the changes so far this year.

Here are some Madden 2008 sliders I found on Operations Sports (AllPro Difficulty). These seem to be getting pretty good reviews from the forums
-----

T.J. and I have been doing a lot of testing with these sliders and we're pretty satisfied with the way they've turned out. We've both had very realistic, competitive, and close games with a pretty good running game from the CPU and reduced CPU INTs.

We consider ourselves slightly above average players and play as close to sim style as possible.

Different sliders work for different types of players so we are guaranteeing anything other than that we've had very good results with them:

Difficulty: All Pro
Quarter Length: 9 Minute Quarters
Weapons: On

(Human/CPU)

Offense

QB Accuracy: 56/70
Pass Blocking: 52/53
WR Catching: 27/14
RB Ability: 43/57

Defense

Knockdowns: 69/63
Interceptions: 0/0

Tackling: 44/56

Special Teams

FG Power: 30/47
FG Accuracy: 43/50
Punt Power: 30/33
Punt Accuracy: 42/48
Kickoff Power: 15/18

Penalties

Offsides: 80
False Start: 80
Holding: 100
Facemask: 100

Defensive PI: 85
KR/PR Interference: 100
Clipping: 50
INT Grounding: 100
Roughing Passer: 100
Roughing Kicker: 100

out / in
qb 60/80 (If you scramble much they need to be raised)
hb 90/100 (run 5 staright runs and he comes out 1 play)
fb & TE 85/95
wr 90/100 (hard to get them to sub)
OL 60 / 80 (OL will sub this year on a drive over 8 plays)

de 90/100 (7 to 1 playing rotation)
dt 90/100 (see above)
lb 90/100 (see above)
CB 85/100
S 85/100

Thanks to aholbert for the auto sub-in/out percentages. I like what I've seen from these as the back up RB gets about 7-10 snaps per game for me.

I was thinking about getting it but I kinda suck at Maddon
I'm trying to get Chris to sell his PS3 and buy an xbox 360 cause he sucks at Maddon too...LOL
That way I would have someone to play with

[Rickypro]

I have it David. Let play a game if we are on at the same time.

[davidan]

sounds fun Ricky. For sure, lets play a game next time I see you online.

[Bob Dunlop]

Ok..I bought it
Who wants to beat on me
I use the Redskins

[davidan]

I'll play ya Bob. Ricky and I just got done playing a game that was funny as hell. It was a really good match (his cowboys leading 3-0 over my Titans in 3rd Quarter. Then I had a drive going, and Vince Young through a Pick to his Defensive Tackle of all people ... and Ricky ran it back for a TD!

he tacked on another field goal to ice it 13-0.
We played on All Pro Setting
I think we may need to try Pro setting in Madden 08, as the Interception AI and Fumble AI is horrible in this version without slider help. I through 4 Picks and I think Ricky had another 2 in a 6 minute quarter game. None of which I think were really bad passes. Just the Monster Defensive AI jumping to the ball and picking them

[Bob Dunlop]

ok just let me know when!

[davidan]

Check this thread out for some Pro Sliders that are under development. I have been having some luck with these ... I made a few changes to suit my abilities in the game.

Bob and I just played what had to be one of the most memorable games of Madden I have ever played. Iwas my Titans, he was the Skins. I got up 14-0 just before halftime with a comfortable feeling. I Get the kick off after the half. I march down the field and am in position to go up 21-0. Bob picks me off in the End Zone and runs it back 100 yards for TD. Wow, 14-7. So, we go into the 4th quarter. I back Bob up on an awesome punt to his 1 yard line. HE proceeds to march all the way down the field with like 12 straight running plays. He goes into the endzone to tie with about 1:50 left.

I get the ball back. I go down the field and there is about 20 seconds left on the clock. I am on about his 10 yard line. I decide to run one more play to get the ball in the middle of the hash for the field goal that would win. I fumble, Bob picks it up with a D - Lineman and runs back 90 yards for what appeared to be the GAme Winning Touchdown to take a 20-14 lead

But wait!!!!!!!! A BOOTH REVIEW!!!!!!!! Overturned, and I get the ball back with 6 seconds left. I kick the field goal and win 17 -14.

Too funny and that was worth the 60 bucks we both spent on the game easily
