EA's John Madden Football 08 and moving on to 2009

To the guy that said that QB vision adds realism to the game, I say, yes and no. In theory, it was a good idea, but it didn't translate well in the video game. Besides, if you played Madden for a long time, hell if you're a football fan or if you played organized ball before, you know the difference between man and zone coverage and which receiver is open and which one isn't. I agree that you shouldn't be able to flip the receiver more than 80% of the time and that your receiver shouldn't be able to outleap the corner all the time (unless it's Randy Moss, Plaxico Burress or maybe even T.O.) because that's not real. Another thing I forgot to add in my last point for some ideas is weather effects on the game. Meaning if it's windy, the ball could sail on you or like in the Chicago/GB game, it could make a simple punt an adventure. Or if it's raining or snowing, the field should deteriorate as the game goes along and the player's footing and grip on the ball shouldn't be stable. They should have team specific fight songs/cheers/celebrations in there. Good thing I got a 60 GB PS3. I found a copy of NFL 2K5 for $3 and am about to get my football fix.
