Dan Campbell was placed on IR after injuring his hamstring week 1 against the Falcons, so he never played a full game for the 08 Lions. He was released at the end of the season.
Madden 08 had sim issues. I remember having to increase the pass tendency of every head coach and adjusted rb auto subs to fix the stats, while keeping track of every head coach to not royally screw it.
@@NuCkInFuTs1 Yeah, but Madden 08 had actually functioning CPU management settings. Took about 30-40 min a year to fix everything in week 1, only thanks to the RB auto subs, which were done based on ovr (IE if a team had an 85 and 83, it would be every other formartion. If there was one very clear starter, the backup gets autosubbed every 4)
@@princenoreally Based on the spoilers, better than Madden 23 has to wait. It looks like they finally made significant strides in Franchise again. Granted nothing from the past 6 or so years will feel as good as dynamic weather (15 is the last one before Frostbyte I remember playing and it was nice having more than 3 weather conditions), there’s a chance 23 feels better mainly due to not feeling dated.
Dude I can’t get enough of you in these old Stay in the pocket drills 😂 I’m laughing out loud at work, any video that has it in it, I’m dying! “All-pro is not to be messed with.”
Noliz213 Bengal is wrong Madden 08 on the 360 was Great it was realistic and still fun I never got bored playing it and ps2 madden is kind of overrated so many bugs and unrealistic stuff
I attempted this myself actually in 08 not long ago, but I simmed the first season without making any changes. Without any input from me, the Lions went 11-5 and won a playoff game Rebuild successful 😎
Hey Bengal, the reason that Kevin Smith was so slow vertically is because in the ps2 there was an error with the up stick and you had to really push it up and that's not your natural hand motion. Idk what controller you used but I think that was the reason.
The reason why the starting running backs have so many carries is because the game is broken and it only gives the starting running back all the carries when you simulate, they don't give any carries to the backup running backs unless the starting running back gets hurt. Shit is so annoying! 🤦
It's amazing how much depth they use to put into franchise before they introduced the money sucking ultimate team... 😮💨😮💨😮💨 The training camp drills were so sick..
The Detroit Lions actually went 4-0 during the preseason during the 0-16 season, I know this because I watched everyone of the games. I was 23 years old that year and my dad had season tickets and we went to all the games.
i have madden 08 on the 360 and i have a blast playing, i’ve never had a playstation so maybe my expectations are just lower but it’s still my favorite madden
Same here, this and 07. I think I liked this one a bit more though. Loved playing with Vince Young on my team, back when I still believed that he was gonna be an MVP and carry my favorite team to multiple rings. It was nice being a kid and fully believing haha
Practicing to get attributes that you can manually toggle looks addciting. Id be so deep in franchise mode. They should spoil us for once and bring back the nuance
Madden 2009 is the Lions roster that went 0-16 but your best chance to avoid history is to go back to 08 and work upwards. Most of the best players on the Lions in 08 were gone the next season The OL was shredded: Damien Woody left for New York and Shaun Rogers was in Cleveland Kevin Jones had jumped ship, so the Lions drafted Kevin Smith... who also wore #34... What little talent they had in the secondary jumped ship, and Ernie Sims was the only returning linebacker The Lions had added no notable talent in the following off-season, went undefeated in the preseason, and proceeded to lose EVERY game.
Madden 08 was crazy!! Vince Young, prime payton and eli manning with freakish micheal vickkk crap tons memories trying beat them lol. I remember one my players gotten frature vertebra and The recovery time said (Career ending) I was shocked.
“Look at that? hook em horns” 😂 Real ones know you make all your contracts 7 years, increase the bonus and decrease the overall contract to keep your salary cap down 🤙🏽
I played it on the Xbox 360 and remember making a maxed out weight and minimum height running back with all the stats juiced to 99 scurrying around like a cockroach
You should do an "All Convicts" rebuild! Darren Sharper and Ray Lewis on the same defense with Mike Vick and Ray Rice on offense...they would beat up on the opponents...

Quick passing offense, spread around the ball a bit.
And for the love of God, invest in defense.
sounds... pretty good ;)
Ah yes, the Fumble Dimension
Back then Calvin was just making his Legendary Making plus our whole team was ass

Absolutely insane how the franchise mode in madden 08 is more in depth and fun than madden 22
In 2007 the Lions went 7-9
In 2008 the Lions went 0-16
I'm not gonna fact check the 07 cuz I'm lazy but that sounds right
I played this game so damn much as a kid. Now I understand why I like running the ball about 50 times a games, this game made me that way. I love it.

It’s crazy how this game free agency & off-season all around is more realistic than todays maddens😭😭
This Lions team brings me nightmares. I was a kid in Michigan in 08 and I am still scarred from what I was witnessing that season.
We beat Chicago and idc we all know he caught that td

I'm 85% sure the Lions went 4-0 in preseason the year they went 0-16
You’re correct
So did the 0-16 browns
One of my favorite videos from you.
28:26 he said “sick catch” omg I’m dying😂😂
28:23 my bad
just the training drills alone is amazing to see. cant imagine why that isnt still in the game anymore in the exact way we're seeing it right now
Just saw you get some love from KOT4Q for this video. The local boy doing well. Go horns

Crazy 2007 NFL Texas rebuild you did
Literally never knew Dan Campbell actually PLAYED for the Lions
Yeah he was kicked off the team for biting the coaches kneecaps. Crazy times
10 year career and super bowl champ with the saints as well ( but didn’t play that year bc injury)
Starting TE
Injured in week one of 08 and released later.
One of the last great Madden's!!! Great video bro!!!
It's amazing how much depth they use to put into franchise before they introduced the money sucking ultimate team... 😮💨😮💨😮💨 The training camp drills were so sick..

Look at that breakdown of FA interests. I really hope Madden gets back to that level of depth!
i have madden 08 on the 360 and i have a blast playing, i’ve never had a playstation so maybe my expectations are just lower but it’s still my favorite madden
Watching you play the mini games was an awesome part of the video more of those please
You should do a rebuild with a team full of only players from Texas or the Giants
Should do the same game but with the raiders. Try to make Demarcus Russell a hof
Please continue this or keep doing rebuilds from the golden era of Madden for PS2 days (2004-2008)
Wasnt this the last madden with training camp..untill madden 23...i forsure remember thiz game lions were actually dope in madden 08 with CJ

yea but if the lions don't go 0-16 then they wouldn't be able to draft stafford 1st overall so he can waste most of his career in detroit
