Now i love madden and i love football, and honestly as much as sometimes i wanna smack madden for what he says to my players, "Next time he should look before he throws the ball like that." In all honesty though it's much more boring w/o the old hag calling the shots and that's how i felt in this version. We have some guy who says the same things a 5 year old can say with a mic and a brain. The 360 just doesn't feel right as there are way to many buttons for this version of the game, holding both triggers to have a special run in which u can spin while your the Qb, Theres only a handfull of the Qb's who i would do this with one is my favorite Vick, speaking of the man, the ratings in this game have to change, it feels like EA has players that no matter how good someone else is they won't let anyone pass them, big example, Champ Bailey, no doubt in my mind there are corners better than him but every year he's numero uno. Same thing with WR Marvin Harrison. Sure Randy had a year but Marvin has been #1 for a while now. In addition to that Anyone who actually fallows football can agree on one thing, Mike Vick is one of the fastest players in the Nfl, not a 94 speed dimwit try a 97 speed beast. And Randy Moss is still 99 speed. They give players not enough credit or way much, and All-Madden mode is same as always, your CB's couldn't cover a snail, no matter how big your AWN is your QB will still have tiny cone, unless your brady or manning and your WR drop more pass's than T.O. in one game. Running is weird as well, in this version you move real fast to hand the ball off but your running back then slows down even if your holding down sprint when he gets it. Seems like your #1 or #2 reciever are never open and 90% pass's go to your RB TE or slot WR. If you want to pass in this game you have to drop back in singleback 5 WR and then you can pass for 250 Yds a game. Now on the Ps2 i have only lost like 3 games, i put in the 360 one and i won only 3 and lost like 8, that's how much differnt the versions are. I'm hoping next year's version is a lot better for this great system.

Madden 07 once again disappoints with a mediocre product which will be a retail success because it is the only game with the NFL license. There is absolutely no excuse for a gaming giant like EA to release such a "celeb... Read Full Review
