Madden 2007 Reviews

Initially, I wasn't too impressed with the game other than the 'Skins screensaver at the main menu and the new music. Four days later, I'm liking it a lot. It's fun blocking and using the highlight stick with Portis and Duckett (Use it wiwth Moss too after the catch! It's wicked!) For those of you bickering of '07 having last year's graphics, it's probably time to consider upgrading to 360 or PS3.

Notes:

Go ahead and change Cooley's position to TE. His rating will still be pretty high >90.

Kicking is a lot easier, not that I wanted it to be. Can you turn off the 'help' button when you press it accidently. The right thumbstick isn't too sensitive to slicing kicks/punts wide like some favorite golf games (I'm an Outlaw junkie).

We've been using KC's playbook since Saunders came aboad and lo! Same playbook from last year. Herm Edwards is using KC's playbook so don't be too mad.

You'd think 'JGibbs' defense would feature some of the more exotic blitzes since we don't have a lot of formations.

I'd recommend serious Maddenholics to buy a 360 but, EA continues to kiss Sony's ass so wait for the PS3 and it's improved graphics w/o freeze frames. A/V guys should already be familiar with the PS3 being a HD DVD player with HDMI 1.3.

Roger McIntosh is rated higher OVR than D'Qwell Jackson.

The grass looks awesome on HDTV. Are you playing on a HDTV?

yeah, HD. i dont know, i liked the grass less "detailed" then. it's taken a big step in the computer/pixel direction then the tv/photographic direction. it's less "detailed" in real life is my point.

oh, and i should fix an earlier post. you CAN wear whites at Fedex on the 360 version, you have to pick HOME not away. may depend on who you're playing..

the freezing on ps2 is irritating, the graphics is the same as last year
the owners mode is downgraded, and i hate it

ea gets the profit, the gamers lost this one this year
the lead blocking is very hard and too much to be desired

I am lucky since I still kept my madden 05 collectors edition
and i think its the best released ever as of now
