 Still Number 1 April 11, 2007

Imagine a game which combined the polish, presentation and licensing of FIFA and the shear realism, playability and game engine of Pro Evo. The result would be gaming perfection!
Sadly the most recent John Maddens isnt quite this game, the players wear helmets for starters and the ball isnt round. However what Maddens does is provide a sporting experience with all of the above. It has the usual EA polish but the game engine is more akin to Pro Evo than Fifa in that the controls are so smooth and the AI is top notch. It may not be everyones cup of tea but this is an example of how a sports game should be.The one gripe is that is with many 360 games there are less options than the PS2 versions of recent years. Such as the create a franchise option. This is possibly due the extra memory taken up be on line play which more than makes up for it. The problem with Maddens as with Pro Evo is How do you improve on near perfection.Pro Evo 4 and Maddens 05 almost cant be beaten.

I love NFL games, always have done. Up until a couple of years ago my game of choice was the excellent Sega Sports/ESPN 2k series. I likened the difference between the ESPN and Madden games with the age old Pro Evolution and FIFA debate.
Madden was for people who just enjoy "GOING LONG" all day.
Then EA Sports did their usual and waded in with an exclusive rights deal and it was bye bye ESPN NFL games - a real shame.
Eventually I swallowed my pride and I bought last year's Madden on the X Box and it was actually a very good game - my preconceptions were perhaps wrong.
When I bought my 360 I saw the graphics on Madden 2007 and was so looking forward to playing it.
I honestly cannot even manage to get through longer than one quarter of this absolute disgrace of a game without turning it off in disgust.
In between every play there is a needless high graphic cut scene that doesn't run smoothly, it jerks and makes the whole affair seem awkward.
Add that to the really odd mono-radio style commentary and the woefully substandard options menu.
Tell me why - my team the Colts have a Cornerback assigned as punt returner on the depth chart and the team's overall rating is something like 93%
But then when i go into the options and change it to a more suitable returner like a wide receiver or running back and the overall team stat goes down to 88%
I'm more concerned with the appalling gameplay rather than numbers and ratings but the above just goes to show where the majority of EA Sports' budget is spent on these games
Namely on strangling the competition out of the picture by ensuring they have exclusivity rather than developing the game itself - take the EA cricket and football games for example, they're rubbish!
but people buy them rather as they don't like having to play as Andrew Flentoff or Ryan Gregs.
Shame on you EA Sports!
Only buy if it is the last game in the shop December 30, 2006

What a massive let down, they really have gone backwards with this one. The superstar mode in this awful. Some genius at EA decided to stop letting you have full control of the teams and now all you can do is control your created player. It gets better because now when you are using your player you get given a view right up up his backside so you can't see anything thats going on around you. Now with previous Maddens you get a proper demonstration of all the controls and the new features etc. But someone had a moment of genius and decided that they would get rid of that and now all you have are written instructions. The franchise mode is crap because now all you do is play the games and thats it. My advise to anyone wanting to buy an american football game is to save your money and buy madden 06 which is a far better game.
 Well worth buying if you don't have other Madden games December 26, 2006

Many of the reviews I have read here and elsewhere revolve around the fact that this version is not as good as previous versions of the Madden franchise. Whilst I largely agree with that, as a game in it's own right I think this is still a great game with plenty of options and most importantly a lot of fun. Well worth the attention of the casual sports fan although perhaps not a Madden purist.
Ignore the bad reviews December 26, 2006

Madden 07 may not be the deepest game, but the graphics on a HD tv will blow you away. Throw in customised commentary to your team, unbelievable stadiums, and a fantastic superstar mode where you go from zero to hero and the game is a fantastic representation of american football.
