EA chose to port this to Mac themselves rather than give it to Aspyr. The inexperience shows. Fraudulently sold as an online game but online didn't work until a patch on Nov 22. EA should have tested it a lot more before it was released. Shame on Apple for selling it at Apple stores before it was ready - don't tell me no one ever tried it. After the first dozen patches, it could be lots of fun but disappointing for now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the upgrades for the OS, September 28, 2008

This review is from: Madden NFL 08 (Video Game)

I purchased this game and initially was very disappointed. I have an IMAC 24 inch screen with the upgraded graphics card and 4G of ram, so I did not expect any issues. After downloading the patch for this game, i was still seeing crappy graphics and a weird green tint as well as almost like mirror reflections coming off the players. I then read on a blog that you also need to download the latest patch for the Leopard operating system to remove this particular problem. I was skeptical that this would help, but once I did this, I fired up the game again and everything worked perfectly. My only problem now is trying to learn the game all over again, as I previously played Madden 2002 on a Windows system. Quite a few changes since the version I am used to playing.

The most annoying thing about Madden 08 is you've got to carry the blessed DVD around with you to launch the game. That's not a problem when you're at home, but if you travel and want to just kick back and do something mindless - DOH! You didn't bring the DVD, you can't play the game. Performance on a 2.2ghz MacBook Pro is good. I kill processor intensive tasks (like BOINC) before starting and have had no problems. Haven't seen any image distortions that I heard complaints about. And, it's running fine under Leopard, too. Overall, it's Madden. You get what you expect. The limited ability to create new plays is still annoying, but it's an arcade game, not a coaching simulator after all.
