New Madden 08 gameplay video
Gametrailers has posted a new gameplay video from Madden 08. The Packers face off against the Chiefs at Aloha Stadium (Pro Bowl). Some thoughts on it follow below.

All-Pro Football could become biyearly title
Within the Operation Sports impressions it was mentioned that 2K Sports' Anthony Chau stated how they are considering All-Pro Football as a title that could be released every other year. However it depends on how well this one sells whether or not the franchise will have a future.
