Madden 2008 to have historic games

10
Vote

by user False Prophet

Some sources have it that Madden 2008 will include the ability to reinact some of Footballs most historic games. All though very little is known about what this will entail, it is a great feature that I hope comes true. Imagine, about two minnutes left on the clock. You, and your team, are tied, and John Madden is calling the game. He says you should knee it down and play for overtime. But, you, playing as a crotchety hack of a coach (or so people thought), decide that you can do it, and have your band of journeymen go marching down the field and he who I will not name nails the kick to win the game.

Or go back, only weeks before. It's a snowy Sunday in Oakland. You are trying to run the two minnute drill when the ball is knocked out of your QB's hands. Thankfully, the imfamous "tuck rule" call is made, and you get to continue, and the game goes to OT off of a 40 yarder in the middle of a blizzard.

OR how about going retro? 1968, but instead of playing it as the underdog Jets, you're Johnny Unitas and Co. How much fun would that be? The possibilties are endless, and would be a great addition to Madden

New Orleans - Jacksonville in 2006, Week 16. 7 seconds left. Try to match the 3 lateral touchdown, but try to do what Carney couldn't do and tack on the PAT to tie it. Then go into overtime for the win, a win which would keep the Saints alive in the postseason hunt. Games have expanded into this lately, because usually, there is practically no difference between two years games. Other than rosters.

I think ESPN NFL Football 2K5 had a feature similar to this in honor of ESPN's 25th anniversary, where you could re-enact scenarios from the 25 greatest games of the ESPN era.

I can confirm that. It was a great feature. Not only was it interesting being a 'part of history', but it was a good way to get a quick fix. If you didn't have time to play a full game, you could try your hand at an historical scenario or two.

Yeah, that's the only football game I own. It's fantastic. The one with Terrell Owens on the cover, right?

Yeah, that's the one. Madden is probably more fun for playing with friends, but ESPN's gameplay/AI is amazing, and its franchise mode is terribly addictive. Also, I was probably one of a handful of people who actually thought first-person football was cool.

The $20 price tag they put on it was nice, too. Is there any reason a video game should cost $50+?
