Madden 07 First Look

http://sports.ign.com/articles/705/705351p1.html

It looks pretty good, although i'm more in favor of controlling c.po as my blockers find the hole, instead of being the blocker and trying to find c.po a hole to go through.

Why are all the onlookers at the 'combine' fat? Are we that bad in the US?

the thing that excites me, is that it said somewhere in that article that teams would now have individual defensive playbooks, instead of just the base 4-3, 3-4,etc. sets. We can finally use Gregg Williams plays on defense, which will be pretty sweet.

it said specific plays for playing specific teams i thought... we'll see though.

the blocking addition sounds like a good thing, as long as its optional. and the superstar changes are needed, but they also need a practice mode than doesn't screw up your guy and actually lets you practice, as well as some way to fix the whole 30 pratcice session thing that's a total drag and wastes a lot of time to bypass (enter practice, immediately leave) o it doesn't kill your guys stats.

I hate how at first, Madden is always fresh and exciting. This year it took me a good month to be at a comfortable level. Within 3 months, i had mastered the game against the AI. I was capable of scoring 55 points each game to someone else's 20, even on ALL madden. I hope the AI is upgraded.

I think graphically it looks really good.

Those last few screenshots though, I was thinking they were from the PS2 possibly just because the first like.. 6 are so well defined and has lots of depth graphically and then it was like.. the last few weren't.

Makes me kinda glad I picked up a Xbox 360 after all.

i can't pass, but i can get vick 400-800 yards a game (every game) with PA passes and then just running left or right... It's really nice when you're QB can outrun a CB blitz.

the AI has always been crap though. in 2004 you could just take any fast rb and the spin move and get 300 yards every game. they toned that down, but it takes forever for them to fix anything. nothing ever works right the first time.

'06 was the first time in a while I totally lost interest in Madden.

NCAA '06 is much better in my opinion, thank god for that game otherwise I would be really hurtin'.

yeah I hated EA bought the rights for the NFL because I was a Huge 2k Fan

You know what I miss? I miss those games like Mutant League Football for the Sega that had no realism at ALL and were just nonsense.

On a side note, 2007 looks hot as hell.
