EA Makes Strides But Still Has a Way Too Go

User Rating: 8.2 | Madden NFL 07 X360
By wsucougar307 | Review Date:
I was able to purchase Madden07 this evening. I was skecptical about it. EA has managed to release sub-par products for the 360. NBA Live 06 for example is one of the worst games I have ever played. First I would like you to know that I brought back NCAA07 in order to buy Madden07. Overall I thought the trade was a good one.

PROS:

-Running game. The running is smoother than NCAA07. Backs are slippery on the field. I love running the ball. Blocks are fairly easy to read.

-Draft. As much as I think Mel Kiper Jr. is an idiot he was a good addition as the games draftnik.

-Graphics. Wow.

-Franchise Mode. It seems complete. Which is a huge plus because in recent 360 titles this seemed to be skimped on.

CONS:

-Attributes. Some Players will be dissappointed to find players underrated and overrated. I guess that is how most sports games are.

-Player Editing. I haven't been able to figure out how to edit the players in my draft classes from NCAA07. It sucks because I have a couple of good players named HB#17. I also wanted to change numbers and gear. Julian Peterson of the Seahawks is wearing an illegal number of 44 that I couldn't change.

-Draft. Just like in real life Mel Kiper Jr. doesn't know how to spot talent.

-Signing Free Agents, Draft Picks, and Players on Expiring contracts. There seems to be no reason the why the player will sign one contract and not the other.

-Announcing. I would like a personality to commentate if not Madden himself. What he goes to the Hall of Fame and he doesn't have to annouce on his on game anymore.

Thanks for spending the time to read this. I hope it was helpful.
