How can you honestly give this game a bad rating?
You'll find yourself right with your created player in this years superstar mode, as all you have to worry about, is making your player a star. No picking plays, no controlling the other players on your superstars side of the ball, and just an all around fun, new way to play.
The influence system is also great. You'll find yourself fighting to unleash huge plays in order to gain some influence on your teammates and on your team as a whole. You can earn different influence roles and become well known to your team and around the league. Along with this, comes a brand new "Hall of Fame" checklist. Things you should try to get done in order to better your chances of making it into the Hall.
The new blocking system works great too. Tired of dealing with horrible AI blocking? Well now you can do it yourself. Take the fullback, lay down a block, then you're switched right back to your RB so you can hit the hole you just made. A great new attribute, especially helpful in cooperative play. Last years Madden was quite a tank, this years madden is greatly improved. I love it, and ya know what, I will be playing it till 08 comes out. Great job EA Sports.
