I always wondered about those Madden PC ports. So are they good to get into? Would they stack up as well as their console counterparts?

in most cases they are pretty much identical but a bit more customizable...

08 was, I believe the last PC port (they may have finally changed that with 25 though). Because of this, 08 has a bit of a cult-following and is still played pretty heavily on PC today apparently and has a lot of modding and updated rosters and all that going on.

But to answer your question - I don't know. The last time I played a football game for any extended period of time, it was 16-bit. So I'm the wrong guy to ask. But I'd believe Dave. Have you seen his Madden collection?

At any rate... 08 on PC is really, really good as far as I can tell.

I remember 08 as being a pretty poor version... The last few maddens with the upgraded physics engine has been a nice improvement.

I meant it seriously, the 07-09/10 years were pretty rough in Madden.

I know you meant it seriously. And I meant "seriously... Debbie Downer."

I said "I'm having fun" and you said "meh."

:P

Interestingly enough, the first Madden game was exclusive to computers.
