Well, its simple. I like Madden 07 in its current gen form. Therefore, I liked the next gen version of the game just as much. While it is missing a few features that I actually use (like a easy to use hot route option and defensive hot routes, a swim/rip button) everything else is pretty much the same with much much MUCH better graphics. Graphics don't make the game, gameplay does, so if you liked the gameplay of madden 07 for the PS2 or the Xbox, you should like this. I also love the fact that you can completely customize the controls to your own liking and not be stuck with the preconfigured settings (although every once and a while when using the run to daylight feature, the game will forget about your custom settings...rare but annoying). What i am not fond of is the awkward menu navigation. Its slow and choppy and overall, confusing. Also, I am not a fan of the ESPN radio guy announcing the game. Unlike alot of people, I like Madden's commentary, no matter how repetitive it was. The overall feel of the game is somewhat taken down a notch or two without the announce team to me. Last but not least, the inability to edit players attributes. While most of the ratings I can agree with, there are some players (namely rookies) who are extremely underrated in some catagories (take Norwood from Atlanta for example. All in all, I think it is a pretty good game, definately a huge upgrade over Madden 06 and I like it more than NCAA07 for the 360 (which is odd considering I always prefer NCAA games over the Madden game). If on a scale of 1-10 I would give this a solid 8.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Since I bought an XBOX 360 the Madden series has begun to improve. The Madden NFL 06 edition lacked many of the features that Madden NFL 07 now allows. The Madden NFL 07 edition now brings Superstar mode to the next-gen system and an ALL NEW Madden Gamer Level. The game has an even more in-depth franchise mode and many more mini-games which improved since last years game. However, the game still lacks important aspects that the current-gen versions allow. For example, you are still unable to edit the players uniforms and information. It also lacks the additional uniforms that NFL teams have. If you are playing as the Carolina Panthers, you are unavle to use their Alternate Blue Jerseys. This takes away from the realism in a bit brutal way. As they add more gaming features to the game they are forgeting about the small things that added character to Madden on the current-gen systems. For this gaming franchise to become a powerhouse on the next-gen platform, they need to focus on bringing the current-gen atmosphere to the next-gen level.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This game has modified the Superstar mode by making a Hall of Fame that you can get in! On My Superstar in Superstar mode, it shows your HOF progress throughout your career. In HOF on Superstar mode, there is the HOF and other Famers added on every year. It's seldom that you are a first-round draft pick. In the game, if your Superstar is on offense & starts, then you ONLY play as your Superstar on offense. On defense, you can make it CPU control or player control. For defense, it's the exact opposite. In 06, you play as the person with the ball, which I think is better. Franchise is just about the same as in 06.There is a Madden Gamer Level which tells you how much you play. Many achievements have to do with this. There is no Mini-Camp, but the mini games are still good. The mini games are the same as the Performance Institute on Superstar mode, but you do multiple drills, unlike 06, in which you only do 1 a week. The game also shows how far you have gotten in the game, but sometimes the Franchise one goes down. Play Now is pretty much the same as well. Some people may have a problem that Carolina has the best stats on Play Now. Graphics are better, controls are easy to understand, and gameplay is solid. I would buy this game unless you don't have Madden 06. If you don't have Madden 06, I would buy that first.Vollständige Rezension lesen
PROS: -Great Graphics -Improved Gameplay CONS: -Still lacking features on the Current Gen Systems -No other football options gamewise I must say it is gorgeous. The game definately has the look of an awesome football game on the 360, and plays a bit better than the 2006 version. The biggest thing I can say is that this game is still lacking the features found on the current generation systems (PS2, XBOX) and that has become expected of a football game, especially now that EA has exclusive NFL rights. The graphics justify the game purchase, but the gameplay and options feel that of a Madden 2002 or 2003 game, which is disapointing when you think of the power that the XBOX 360 has. You can tell that the game is building the framework to establish an excellent football game, as the franchise had to do when it first appeared on the PS2. You know the game will have the lost features by next year, when the Next Generation systems take full effect. This is worth playing and giving a look to if you only have an XBOX 360, but the current generation versions are more feature filled. This may not be a must own on the XBOX 360, but for any football fan that loves good visuals, this is a definate pick-up - this is the reason it received a 4 of 5 from this football fanatic reviewer.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I've been playing Madden football games since the early 1990's when it was on Sega Genesis. Every year the game has always improved and I have never, ever been disappointed with a Madden game. Now that it's on the XBOX 360 the graphics are just revolutionary. The difference between the Hall of Fame Edition and normal version isn't too great and it might not be worth the price difference in some people's opinions. Madden on the XBOX 360 for me is new and I'm slowly switching training myself on the controls since I used to play PS2. I have noticed that this year there are alot of changes to the gameplay though. Like kicking, it takes time to get used to it but it's what continues to make the game challenging. So, if your a Madden fan, go ahead and get yourself a copy of this one, it's fun and challenging in new ways, Hope I Helped, Justin.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I acquired Madden 07 mostly so my NCAA 07 players would have pro leagues to join. I really enjoy importing my draft classes and seeing where my players wind up. It's fun to continue your favorite players careers through Franchise mode. Apart from that novelty, the Madden series again does the usual roster update and graphics polish. The visuals are gorgeous, but now the announcer is a tinny generic voice for "EA Sports Radio." Color commentary is gone, but I can definitely live with that. They've added lead blocker controls, so you can be a bit more detail-oriented about running the ball, but I haven't found it to be much help. The computer-controlled halfback usually does something moronic while you're busy trying to block for him. Superstar mode is a joke. A great idea, one which I'd been hoping would come along, but each iteration has been boring, repetitive, and frustrating. Playing anything other than quarterback or halfback means down after down of doing mostly nothing. Practices are just about as dull as you'll recall if you ever played football in real life. Where are interviews after games? Where is the chance to pick one's awesome house, or car? Why no moral choices to make which have either helped players or landed them in jail? Making superstar mode a little more RP and a bit less drudgery would make a fantastic alternative to just grinding one team against another. So do what I did: get the game cheap. Never buy sports games new. The dollar value doesn't last, and the improvement over the year before is always minimal. If you can find a copy of Madden 07 for less than $10, go for it. You'll get more than your money's worth in franchise mode.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Gameplay: 8/10 Tackling is great in this game and its very similar to ESPN NFL 2005 but with better graphics. This year in Madden, each players have their own style of running. Bigger players are very good at running defenders over and lighter players will use their speed to dodge defenders. Very well done. There are also newer Touchdown celebrations and they still also keep the old celebrations such as Chad Johnson's river dance. The new run to daylight feature is incredible and helpful. In this feature, you can control the linemen and the fullback so you can open holes for your running back to run. EA also removed the feature saving in the middle of the game which really sucks if you need to leave and dont want to lose your game data. This is the one what disappoint me the most, the create a player. This time in CAP, you cant just make a guy and make him 99 overall or not even 80 overall. You gotta make him run his 40 dash and bench press. Usually, the CAP ends up around the 50 overall just like an undrafted rookie. Graphics: 8/10 Wow, this is great. You can actually see the player's teeth and facial expression. Too bad the players dont actually sweat. The weather is awsome, rain, snow and windy. The stadium are so much better than the PS2 version. The fans are still looking weird but the seats are nearly the same to the real thing. The thing that bug me is the players looks like they are on steroids just like in Madden 05 and madden 06. You can't actually either have a guy taller than 6'11" or a guy with pure muscles. After the game, you also notice that the player's uniform is not dirty enough even though you just played during rain. The dumbest part is there aren't any alternative costumes. You can download them but you got to pay for them, a lot of dollars just for a game uniform. Presentation: 6/10 This is worst than you can imagine. You can't watch the NFL draft during the Superstars season mode. No half-time presentation and no post game. Also, after you play and win the Superbowl, there aren't any celebrations. Sounds: 7/10 Ok, so the announcers are not Michaels or Madden anymore which is sucks. There is only one announcer in Madden 07 and he kept repeating the same thing over and over. The audibles yelling is great and the fake snap sounds like the real players. They really should bring back Madden and Michaels, I mean the game is called "Madden 07". Overall: 8/10 Good Game with room for improvement.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I was very cautious in my approach to Madden '07 after the '06 release for the 360. Madden 06 was by far the worst football game I've ever played, this includes 10 yard fight for the original Nintendo. There are alot of changes in 07 but not the changes I envisioned last year. There is no commentary from Madden himself, whats up with that? All you get is a lame announcer who repeats himself more than any Madden phrase Ive heard over the years. Create a player is lacking and there is no way to edit current NFL players on the game. Marques Colston of the NO Saints isnt even on the game, Tony Romo is a 70 which causes all sorts of roster issues, meaning the game continues to override the depth chart and start bledsoe who is an 83. NO alternate uniforms unless downloaded from XBOX Live. The further along you go into the game unlocks Hall of Fame players. This is a great feature but, there is no way to remove them from the current roster, which means during franchise mode, Norm Van Brocklin is running the offense for the raiders or Barry Sanders is running all over you fro the Ravens. Defense is hard enough on this game without the appearance of HOF players. Also where is the Fantasy Draft?? This is one of my favorite options of years past. The good news about this game is that it is unparralled by any other football game available. Graphics are great, gameplay is fun, Franchise is deeper than ever and the new Superstar mode is fun for diehard fans. All in all, this is a good buy for the 360, and is one of only a few games that is worth the 60 dollar price we shell out for them.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Pros + Great offensive controls. + Rookies start out with names & faces plus roster updates bring about changes when need be. + Franchise is still big fun and will keep you playing for awhile. Cons - What happened to the Defense??? - Xbox Live is still not the best experience and your team will often act mentally incapable of doing anything defensive. - Doesn't have all of the features of the current gen systems. - Superstar mode is not really that fun. Comments The game would have been better if they would have used NCAA 2007's defensive engine. It seems that the days of D that were incorporated in 2005 are long gone. The Hit Stick has become nothing more than a 'make ya miss easy' stick. Superstar mode is plagued by terrible camera angles and having little choice over picking your plays. The gameplay is mostly enjoyable though besides some of the handicaps your players seem to give themselves like not covering well or running the wrong way. The computer can also run faster than you on defense so you might as well let your computer players try to chase them down rather than switching then sprinting. Verdict This is the only Pro Football game available so unless you prefer 'Blitz' you don't have many choices. Good enough to own though & better than Madden 06. Still needs work to be the "BEST".Vollständige Rezension lesen
