“RevanFan didn’t simply re-create the rosters and call it a day. With that new site came a new name: Football Idiot. He brought the community back with a new website. The torch had to be carried on by user torontogrudlies after Football Freaks eventually shut down. One by one the 'forefathers' disappeared from the community. The days of the original site are nicknamed by current members as “The Discovery Era.” These founding-users of Football Freaks were responsible for creating the first modding utilities for the game.

Then I figured out the series was discontinued, and that lead me to find the Football Freaks website,” Beich explains. “I had Madden 08 and I wanted to buy the next version. Football Idiot is a blessing for gamers like Danny Beich, who was one of the many users shunned by EA’s decision to cancel the series’ computer releases. Game commentary is provided by John Madden and Al Michaels.“Thanks to the dedicated (and slightly obsessed) Football Idiot modding community, there's been an updated mod of Madden 08 every year on computers during the 11-year hiatus. Also, the superstar mode features a mode where you can play as your team, but also to choose to watch the CPU take control of your team and take over with your player when called upon. It has a new fantasy challenge mode that lets you draft any player you want and risk them in mini-games to create and elite superteam. It also features new skill drills to help your player gain more stats in the ever popular NFL Superstar along with the new Ring of Champion feature that lets you design a ring when you complete a certain achievement such as winning the Super Bowl or winning the MVP. The AI is more improved plus the new receiver control/lead block feature lets you play as a blocker to create a hole in the defence and switch back to your runner to bust through. The new read and react system lets you see your opponents weakness against your own players letting you exploit their weakness.

EA Sports' 2008 edition in the Madden series has some new features along with an updated roster and some new animations.
