Madden NFL 08 Features
Passing Icoins
New to passing this year are Passing icons which will help you identify which players are covered and which players are wide open for the pass. This is shown to you in two ways:
What's new?
First the icons over the player's heads on the field will change colors depending on the coverage.
Second after the snap of the ball the Radar will display the passing icons while using the same color scheme. Use these to help make the right reads and move the ball up and down the field on the defense!
- Green = Open
- Yellow = Some Coverage
- Red = Lots of Coverage
Touch Passing
When using the touch passing controls, you can throw to any spot on the field while using the Touch Screen. Simply touch the Touch Screen to activate the passing target and slide the stylus to move it to any location on the field, once you release the stylus the ball will be thrown.
What's new?
You will also notice passing icons located at the bottom of the Touch Screen which when touched will throw the pass to the corresponding target.
