Madden NFL 08

I purchased Madden 2008 through origin a year ago and now I am deployed and an trying to play it but recently a window popped up saying that I need to connect to a network to verify ownership. this is the first time it had done this, I finally hit a port and was able to connect to a network and get the game to play. brought it back to the ship and now it will not play again. the same window appears.

  • Hi jnmblan,

    Please click on the blue link below to see a list of retired games.
     
    The decisions to retire older EA games are never easy.  The development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into these games almost as much as the customers playing them and it is hard to see one retired.  But as games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles to a level -- fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles -- where it’s no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these games up and running. We would rather our hard-working engineering and IT staff focus on keeping a positive experience for the other 99% of customers playing our more popular games.  We hope you have gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the games and we appreciate your ongoing patronage.

    Hello,

    Since Madden NFL 2008 was the last EA football game, that has been released for the PC, and since I don't have a console, I wanted to buy this game. Unfortunately I can't find this game anywhere. I would prefer to have it as a new game but i'm realising that this could be only a dream. And in my home country Germany I even can't find a used one.

    If somebody has got a hint fo me, I would appreciate it...

    @kWiZe89  I was able to find a copy for PC on Amazon UK, it is much more expensive then what it should be though.

    My suggestion would be trying to see whether any local stores (e.g. Media Markt, Saturn) have copies available in their 'classic / legacy' game section. If they do, this would be much cheaper than that online version.

  • So I didnt get the following pops but did the requirements. 

    i scored 119 points, i had 48 rushing attempts and 10 straight catches with thurman thomas, 848 total yards of offense and 5 sacks with ryan dunley. I got the other 4 of these 10. i did 11/11 for the 100% Pass Completion, i also was 6 of 8 for 2 pts, 3 rushes and 3 passes and I got 202 Punt Return Yards.

    All done in 5 minute quarters and the achievements didnt say anything about difficulty so i did it on pro.
