I came across this site selling a download version of Madden NFL 08 for $12.99. I don't know if it's for real or not since I don't need a copy of the game.

They are selling torrent iso's. We contacted them about Madden 20 and Madden 21. The guy said it is an offline ISO installer and can't be updated. And you can't connect to the EA server to get any patches ever. I am 100% sure that buying Madden 08 from this seller is not a legit copy.

That actually sounds very highly illegal. That should probably be reported to... someone. I hate seeing people buy things thinking they're getting one thing and then getting ripped off that what they're buying isn't legit.
I'm removing the links, but I'm really not sure who to report it to? Any thoughts?

YouTube recommended it in its suggested ads. I wonder why YouTube would send you to an illegal site?
Re: Madden 08 available for download?
The other day I ran into a link that was found on a website called "archive".
Didnt try it, but when needed, I wonder if that works.

If you guy go back into the Madden 21 post I did months ago, I showed a site claiming to sell the product at a reduced cost. My friend paid for Madden 21 and we sent the seller email regarding the version, EA server access (creating a account to download patches and get access to community updates) and refund policy. The seller sent an email to my friend outlining the version 1.0 only, can't create an account on EA server, or receive any updates, patches etc. Once the ISO was installed the game required a cracked exe to run.
We knew exactly what was going on and promptly asked for a refund. He did refund the payment. Madden 20 & 21 can only be legally purchased with the EA Play or EA Play Pro online subscription. Or you can get Madden 21 for the flat fee of $59.00. Madden 20 is only available through the subscription access. Again, Madden 08 can only be legally purchased if you receive a used DVD copy. The digital download version, nor the key used to install it is non-transferrable.
So that's why I don't own Madden 21. I'm not sure about youtube ad policies, so I can't comment on that.

Re: Madden 08 available for download?
Also got this from EA...
The EULA for Madden 2008 says..."you shall not,...(b) alter, modify, enhance, or create a derivative work or improvement of any part of the Software". And in my phone conversation with EA , I was told all modding of Madden PC games was illegal.
1. Ok to create and download user created files of new uniforms and stadiums ...using the utilities that came with the game (Create - A- Team , Create -A-Stadium)
It is illegal to ...
2. Hack into the mmap and TMdl game files with 3rd party utilities and modify the original game files.
Modifying the initial game files is not allowed.
Would using "Texmod" to capture and overlay the original game files be permitted? Would this be considered "modifying" the original game files? Can these modified files be distributed?
Is it legal to use Texmod or uMod to mod the original game files of any of the Madden NFL PC games...and distribute the files?

Not like we are going to stop even if it is.
There was some story from the FF days about EA trying to shut them down, but that's WAY before my time.

Not just for profit. You can't modify the default game files and distribute their game to anyone. Unless EA releases the game as open source. Texmod does not modify game files owned by EA properties. You do what you will, I just posted a portion of the EULA legal terms of use.
