Product Description

In Madden NFL 07, you'll control the running game like never before. For the first time ever, step up as the lead blocker to create a hole, then take control of the tailback and smash through, overpower, or slash away from would-be tacklers - as you fight for every yard. Innovative rushing controls give you a game-breaking ground attack featuring all-new jukes, cutbacks, and the distinct running styles of your favorite backs. Between the tackles or in the open field, run to daylight with Madden NFL 07. Smaller backs escape and break tackles, while bigger runners bowl over defenders in the open field Scout collegiate prospects with the all-new NFL Draft Scouting System and during the College All-Star Game Watch players impact their teams with the new Franchise Player Roles feature Team-Specific Defensive Playbooks - For the first time, use actual plays from your favorite team's defensive playbook to shut down the running game, pressure the quarterback, or force key turnovers

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Madden football, nothing more, August 29, 2006

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

There's a lot of different opinions of Madden NFL 07 swirling around so I figured I get in on it as well. For my money, to just have a new football game is worth it. Seeing as how Madden is now the only football game available from year to year, if you don't like Madden's brand of video games then I feel so sorry for you. However, I think this is a great installment. By no means is this the best released but there's no doubt that it's a lot of fun.

Have Madden 06? You basically have 07. Not a lot has changed from last year. The few things are the running options (juking and whatnot) being moved to the right joystick, the 50 yard dash on the training camp, and the new camera angle for your Superstar linebacker. Also, while I've only played a quarter of an exhibition game and a lot of Superstar games, I still have yet to hear John Madden. I don't know if he's not on this game or not, but if he isn't that just makes no sense.

Pros:
It's still Madden
Linebacker view
Overall Superstar: Hall Of Fame feature
Having all the big name rookies is kind of nice

Cons:
It hasn't changed much from last year

Yeah, that's my only big complaint. I can't help but love this game though. If you're looking to save money then there's no huge reason to buy this unless you HAVE to play with Leinart, Young, Bush, and Williams, then by all means check this out. However, if not having those guys doesn't bother you then you really don't need this year's game.

Of course this game plays great, it is the next installment of the Madden series. However, usually I can't get through an entire game without it locking up. I read others had issues with this but thought since I bought my game at least 6 months after it had came out, I thought the bugs in my version would be fixed. I was wrong, buyer beware... it sits collecting dust now because it's frustrating to play over 3 quarters and have the Xbox crash out. Other games have froze up for me, such as Scarface and Godfather, but they have built in mechanisms that overcome the freeze-screen within a minute. Even when the game says "your disc may be scratched or dirty." Why don't all games have this mechanism? Especially a game like Madden with such a lofty reputation? I'm disappointed to say the least and should have paid attention to other reviewers' warnings.

I love this game, I play it every day. I love all the features such as Franchise mode wich is simalair to seasen mode, it alows you to cut and trade players and hire free agents.The running controls are awesome they allow you to juke, spin, and truck through players. If you have a friend thats willing to play do rushing attack. Its a fast paced game where you play defense and offense each. If your looking for a gift our even for yourself buy Madden 07.
