Too Bad It's Over
I have enjoyed the PC version of Madden NFL for many years. I am quite disappointed they have discontinued the PC version.
Madden NFL 08 is very fun to play. Play calling is simple and direct. Game play is smooth and fast. Both offensively and defensively there are multiple audible options after a play has been called. The playbooks and audibles are highly customizable.
The graphics are nice at the highest settings. There are multiple graphics levels which helps improve game speed if you have a slower PC.
Owner mode is fun as well. Building and improving a team through the draft and free agency is entertaining. One complaint about the draft - you have a limited number of scouting attempts. So you can't gain much information about any of the available players pre-draft. This does not seem right considering how much time and money real NFL teams spend analyzing players before the draft.

Pretty good, but not perfect
Good, but not great graphics, I hate when players run then fall on their own (I don't know if this is my controller doing this). Lots of cool features, all time teams, create a team etc. Pretty good, intuitive playability, but not great. Four or 4.25 stars I would say. Overall, I'm pleased and would recommend.

Stick with Madden 2007
You may by now have heard that EA has killed Madden for the PC, and you are looking to buy a copy before it goes completely extinct. I'll keep this short and mildly enraged- Madden 2008 is the same program, but somehow with MORE bugs than 2007. How they did that I don't know. They clearly never cared about the PC game. The same stupid bugs appeared year after year, like a department store Santa with syphillus. But I bought both programs and compared them and Madden 2008 is now in the garbage.
For what it's worth.

Perennially broken franchise mode
I just quickly want to agree with another reviewer who criticized the broken player progression model in Madden's franchise mode. In reality, players do not improve because they have big games statistically. They have big games because they have improved. Until EA reverses this fundamentally flawed concept, their franchise mode will never work right long-term. PlLayer progression should be based on 3 things: starting playing time, coaching quality, and a third unmodifiable category of "aptitude" or "intelligence". But it's not likely EA will ever see the light on this issue, the same way they won't fix the salary cap, roster glitches, on and on. It's amazing that they can let the same old problems fester for so long...amazing that is, until you realize that they just don't care any more.

I'm addicted to Madden Football
I buy the new version of Madden for PC just about every year. I wish they would expand/ enhance the scouting drills for the draft, but I have greatly enjoyed this game, as always. It's th only way I can get my favorite team to win the Super Bowl.
