It is extremely difficult for me to form the thoughts and words that I am about to write due to the raging inferno that exists inside on me right now. I will do my best.

Like many mindless zombies that have been conditioned to pre-order games based on the previous installment I picked up Madden 2007 for the Xbox 360.

Eager to throw some passes and start a franchise I opened the game case and loaded it up. Disappointment followed.

The situation is tragic. EA has decided to eliminate key features in order to make the game look better. Why? Oh I know because its suppose to be next gen right?

Next-Gen doesn't have to be about looks, but can be about innovation. This is where EA failed.

I could provide a laundry list of features and broken elements  that contribute to the failure that is the 360 version.

It took less that 5 hours for me to re-sell my copy and pick up some DS games.

Good going EA, you managed to kill the one sports gaming tradition I have been a part of since my childhood.
