My Review of Madden07 Located inside. I beleive people overhyped a game just built from the ground up a year ago, but...
The Graphics this year are amazing. The lighting really makes the jerseys, helmets and what not, stand out greatly. It may be the lighting that makes the player models look better but they have changed a little and do look better. Last year was pretty dull, this is a lot more prettier to look at. The grass also looks much better and wears out during the game. In rain they also form puddles. Looks best on a HDTV, but still looks great on a SDTV -
The Gameplay this time around is a lot better and smoother. When you check your play, it doesn't stay zoomed out anymore. Playing the game is a blast, and the superstar mode is great! There are mini-camp drills which can be fun, competetive, and boost your players abilities. The Gamer Level is actually a neat feature since it shows your skill overall in Madden. A great ranking system too for other Madden Players to watch for. The Highlight Stick is a very nice addition and I have used it to avoid tackles numerous times. A lot of new features/fixed features have been added in this game. While it still needs a few more features to be back to the old Madden's. The Gameplay, Graphics, and new features make up for it. -
I played a few games. The ones I played with friends ran nice and we had a good time. There are also other challenges you can do which makes it fun. However, when I went to play with random people, the gameplay was slowed down. Almost laggy. I really hope EA fixes their servers. -
It's the same radio announcer last year... it's actually a bit better and I don't mind him too much, but it could be much better. Players on the field make comments and yell to each other a lot in the game and it's great! When you throw the ball for a long bomb, you get a nice whoosh as it flys over to your receiver and a bang as he catches it, making it a very thrilling and tense moment. Collisions sound nice and the crowd is more exciting then last year's version. -
