Madden 2007 Reviews

[MTK]

My thoughts on the game so far:

-No, there aren't a ton of new features and yes it's another roster update with some minor tweaks here and there, but as someone has already mentioned this is the way Madden has been for the past few years. Madden on the current gen systems has run it's course.

-That being said it's still a quality game worth picking up if you're a fan of the series, I'm liking it ALOT more than 2006 based on gameplay so far.

-I like what they've done with the running game. You can't make those dramatic jump cuts anymore that would leave defenders with broken ankles. The cutting moves are much more subtle and realistic. In the past you could get your RB out in space, make one move and take it to the house. Not anymore. Love the lead blocking system too, at first I thought it seemed useless but it's actually fun to play as a FB sometimes kicking out some lead blocks.

-Love the new kicking system with the right analog stick. They should have made this change a long time ago.

-I thought the defenses were too jacked up in 2006. This year it seems like your WRs work back to the ball alot more. On a curl route for example, your WR doesn't just run the route and stand there waiting for the ball to come to him. He comes back to the ball so the DB can't just jump in front and swat it down each time.
