Does anybody here own Madden 07 for Wii? is it pretty good? I read some awesome review for this football game. I must admit I haven't own madden since the year Ray Lewis was on the cover (05?) anyway, with new developer (ea canada) was this title worth your money? u think this game was easy enough to pick-up?
I'm not a big football fan, although I'll watch it with buddies if I'm forced to. I rented it out for a week for them, and honestly, besides the whole "the graphics aren't that great" argument, I've never seen them more engaged in any Madden game in their life. It doesn't exactly feel like football to me, but my buddies said it was the closest thing they could get to playing football indoors. I would at least rent it out and give it a try, but if you're really into Madden, it's the best version of the game out there. There's no excuse not to pick it up.
my friend owns it and says its very fun but just like rockstar_88 im not a big football fan either so i just watch my friends play. All i can give you is word of mouth.
I own the game and yest it is worth buying, however it may be worth getting it cheap to see if you liek it and then splash the full price for next seasons game which will hopefully have online.
It's really good. I think the Gamespot review did a great job in describing the game's attributes. Having said that they are wrong in complaining about the kicking system. Gamespot complained that the system was buggy and difficult to figure out. I experienced the exact same problems but then I read the instruction manual carefully. In order to punt or kick you have to be sure to hold the controller down at a 25 degree or more angle before the kick. Once I did that the kicking is great. Much better than on any other version. I flat out love the running and passing. It's also the first football game I've played that is both great for running and passing (I've missed a few additions so there might have been others.) Some complain about the motion controls not playing much of a factor on defense. Again it's user error. It's great for spin and swim moves but you have to time it properly. Namely, you have to just have engaged the lineman. If you to it to soon or too late it won't work. I find this more realistic.Â
The AI is good. Better teams are aggressive. I had the Jaguars fake spike the ball on me to throw a touchdown pass just before the end of half. The gameplay graphics are very good with a wide variety of animations, etc. but the close ups on the faces is pretty bad.  Still the advice of the previous post is right you might want to try it out and if you have to have it you'll be happy. If you can wait you'll definitely have something to look forward too.   Â

I never read this lol, but it looks to me that he knows what hes talking about :D
The graphics are not that great (my biggest disappointment) It plays just like any other Madden, but with motion controls. The passing I found to be very fun. While I wish that the buttons could havebeen reconfigured by the user, the other controls work really well. I haven't had a problem with response. It's one of the more challenging Madden's I ve played in awhile, (haven't owned it since 04, 05). Whether it's because of the controls I'm not sure but it is definetly fun and worth picking up. I got mine off ebay for about 30 Bucks since I ws unsure about it and didn't want to throw away 50 $.

I agree 100% with your post, just be warned this is a madden game and you won't find all the plays that you want either if your a hardcore football fan, only the basic plays. But other that great game.

It's alright, but there are definitely flaws in it. It's much better than the other versions though, the whole wiimote is nice. The only real problem is that your friend can see your play selection and the pointer is a little messed up in the game.
Got Madden 07 for Wii on launch (my first Madden game), and love it a lot. Way better than console controls in my opinion, and the exclusive multiplayer mini-games are really additctive.
