Superstar Mode additions

With the addition of the Campus Legend mode to the next-gen version of NCAA Football 08, players are now able to take their player from Campus Legend mode and import him into Madden's Superstar Mode. In addition, players are able to take over the careers of select rookies from the 2007 NFL Draft and use them in Superstar Mode.[12] Camera angles have also been tweaked for the next gen of Madden 08 after complaints with its predecessor.[11] Key attributes of superstars are assigned by players when creating them, rather than generated by random parents.[13] A number of features have been left out in this year's Wii version, most notably, the ability to edit your superstars appearance as the Superstar Mirror is no longer selectable, and the Barber Shop in the City Map is also no longer selectable. Users are stuck with the random hair combination given to the user while registering their new superstar. Although certain new features have been added as well. For example, you can have more control over your character while firing agents, while the selection of rookies is more extensive.
