I love watching each and every game and letting the games play out by themselves. I love checking over the stats as the year progresses. I'm trying to get back into Madden 08 for the PC and would love to copy everything exactly how you are doing it. Believe it or not I can't even get the vanilla game to start after a fresh install. I'm running on a Windows 7-64bit machine that runs all of my modern games just fine. I put the old Madden 08 DVD into the drive for a fresh install last night and can't anything to work. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I'm sooo looking forward to start a fresh 2018 season and replicating what you're doing here. So cool! I look forward to your reply!
Thanks for your time!

Thank you for the kind words Manooly!
The best way to play
Regarding your install issues, 08 is an old game, I have it running fine in Windows 8.1 64 bit on one of my older computers.
I would suggest disabling your anti-virus and anything else you may have running in the background when trying to install Madden. I have the Amazon version and a boxed version, both work fine, you may want to try the Amazon version, keep me posted, also are you getting an error message or nothing at all?
I'm messing around with Madden 19 PC version also and will have a slider set for Madden 19 PC soon.
The game can't be bought on Amazon anymore.
All I can suggest is you uninstall the game, check for updates for your computer, make sure your video drivers are up to date, restart your computer, and try installing it again. Maybe check to make sure the disc isn't scratched or dirty as well.
