5.0 out of 5 stars Big improvements, way to go EA!, August 31, 2006

This review is from: Madden NFL 07 (Video Game)

I previously owned madden 06 for psp and while i found it to be pretty fun, the infamous loading time really brought the fun factor to its knees. EA fixed this problem and a few more with 07 and overall this game is GREAT. Great graphics, great sound, challenging situations, and more to love.

Being a Steelers fan, i first played against the titans to get a feel for the game play and it wasn't hard to pick up since the controlls are essentially the same as 06. EA opened things up with the analog stick which gives you more types of juking moves on offense and harder hits with the defense. the screen movement is smooth and fluent which makes finding an open reciever easier then 06. The game also moves faster then 06 so you have to be on your toes. The sound is also a big improvement when you've got on a good pair of headphones as the crowds are louder and the hits realy stand out. They've even added some new commentary from John and Al along with the some of the same stuff from 06.

The franchise mode is great. The game sets goals for you to reach each week and if you acomplish those goals then you're rewarded with points you can distribute amongst your players each week, constantly improving your team as you move through the season. Thanks to this feature, your rookies can develop faster as the season moves along. The graphics are a big improvement also with more shading and the players move better, even their hair seems to shake when they put the big hit on you. There's also some pretty cool end zone celebrations.

I can't seem to put this game down and am looking forward to the long road trip i have coming up thanks to this game. This game puts 06 to shame which wouldn't be too tough since EA was making their first football game on the psp platform with 06 so you can tell that they studied what needed to be better and did it. Good job EA, great game! You won't be dissapointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Glitches Vs. Fun, November 10, 2006

It's got a lot of small glitches, but only one or two affect the game play, not enough to make a difference though. All in all, it's a great game. It's Madden and he's got almost a decade of great games. This one has more glitches in it than any other Madden game to date, for instance... If you run in for a TD, he will say, "The lineman got his hands up and batted that pass down". That's how most of the glitches are. They don't really make a difference. If you're looking for portable football, this is the way to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Timer, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Madden NFL 07 (Video Game)

I've played all the team sports game (FIFA, NHL, MLB, NBA, etc..) but Madden 07 was my first experience with American football. Awesome!

Except for a couple of bugs (wrong audio, weird transparent effects), the game plays well in the rookie mode, better in the pro and even better on the All-Pro level. After three months of intensive training (gotta know your audibles), I'm now playing All-Madden and getting my butt kicked by the 49ers...

The mini game is boring but unlocks teams and tracks songs (useless).

The ad-hoc and infrastructure mode play better than other games (MLB 06), but it's still a work in progress that will never actually progress because of the weak wifi (b) capabilities provided by the PSP.

Now that the football season is almost over, it's time to pickup the game.
