Top positive review. I have had this game for at least a couple of years but it didn't work on my Windows 7 laptop. After I built my Windows 8. It works this time around. It appears that this game needs a dedicated GPU even if the iCores should be able to handle this but I'm going to update my laptop to Windows 8.
You do not need high end hardware to be able to run this game. Even when it was working on the Windows 7 laptop, it was running fine as well and that laptop has a core i3 cpu with intel HD graphics. Perhaps this game would be able to work on Microsoft Surface tablets but that is for another day.
There are some quirks in this game such as using the R3 button for the kicking game with the XBox gamepad. You need to press down on the R3 button then move the R3 button as if you were attepting a FG or punting the football.
Sure the rosters might be outdated but let me remind you of Franchise Mode where you can have a fantasy draft. And people talk about the mods Some said Windows I simply installed this game I didn't install the Shockwave stuff since it was related to the internet for that game and it runs just fine. I'm going to update the Windows 7 laptop to 8. One person found this helpful. Top critical review. The installer is pretty terrible and for whatever reason it took me 3 tries to get it to install correctly and run.
The game is only 2gb the installation should be much easier than it was but it is still a good deal. The game does work with the newest version Windows The game itself has very limited controller config but my Logitech F works well with the switch on D and the Mode button engaged fixes slow diagonal running and can still use left joystick or the d-pad. The game looks pretty decent still if you up the resolution and runs smoothly and there are some really good mods available online that will update rosters, graphics, etc.

The only downside is that I had to use unconventional methods to install the updates game and roster , that is because the downloadable game seems to be unupdatable.
Showing 0 comments. So I have little to compare this to. I tried keeping up with the technology, but the timing of the game issues to when Microsoft put out new platforms was terrible.
Tech support must have been hopping, which I imagine was a major contributor of why EA discontinued the PC version. I have had a few crashes, but I am not sure if it was the game or compatability issues. I get skipping, especially playing HOF mode. All I can say for sure is that, I play the Madden more than any of the other games that I have. If I get bored, I may have to buy a console game to continue the fun. I hope that doesn't happen! I have never played Madden on PC before Madden I've had Madden 08 for PS2 and I absolutely loved it.
I spent hours and hours building up a superstar. First off, unlike many other console games available on PC, you do not need a great graphics card. I do just fine with an ATI Radeon I never played Madden 07 for PC, and I am confused about why some of the reviewers were whining about Madden 08 not being much better than 07 version. Seriously, I don't understand. Except for the flashing screen when the game loads up and it only flashed once , I have not experienced any glitches at all, the gameplay was otherwise very smooth.
Although I did need to adapt from using the PS2 controls to PC controls, there wasn't any other main differences in gameplay at all with the console versions and the PC versions. I was very upset that EA decided to not release Madden 09 for PC, but the good news it that they will for season.
I'll be looking forward to another season of Madden on my PC. I would recommend this game to all those football fans out there because it is a great football game.
Thank you for taking your time and reading this. One person found this helpful. I ordered it because I wore out the original. Note: It works perfectly fine in Windows 10 without any compatibility issues. For example, after about 5 seasons, nearly every player will rate near percent perfect. However, I still find it enjoyable and Franchise Mode is still my favorite mode to play. You'll have to deal with some quirks like an Aaron Rodgers that sucks while Matt Leinert is a stud but, if you suspend belief a bit, one can still become joyfully addicted to this game.
It's a shame they don't make games like this for the PC anymore. This is the first time we have purchased a Madden game, and I greatly enjoy it. The gameplay is relatively smooth, and usually works well with my computer.
If you have a PS2 or 3, I would recommend you get Madden for that, because although the game works fine and is very enjoyable, it has frozen up on me a lot when playing multiplayer. I would also recommend that you get dual-analog controllers with the game, because it is far easier to play with them than using the keyboard. Performance has been steady, and slowups have not been an issue. That said, the game is very challenging, has excellent graphics, and good practice drills.
To play the game, you have to have the game-DVD inserted because all of the program files are not loaded onto your hard-drive, which is a good thing. I don't have a single complaint about the ordering processing, delivery, or the game. The problem with game reviews for sports is that they are supplanted by the latest season's games.
Kids who are really into them, with knowledge of the players, perhaps having virtual leagues of their own, the so-called "fantasy leagues", need and insist upon the most up to date player info, etc. They do not mind setting up the games for accuracy purposes.
I on the other hand am older; I can remember the Pirates lineup, but not the wide receivers of the Dolphins last year. So, for me, I want a game that is simple and sets itself up. This game is not like that, as it assumes you are an enthusiast and will want to set up your teams in detail.
As such, I did not have the patience to peruse the game for long and must give it a medium review. Just like the other reviewers have said, there's really no difference from the '07 version. I don't think it's worth the full sticker price. It's a still a great game as was , but it doesn't live up to the hype and commercials - at least the pc version doesn't. Mac OS X. Related searches.
