  • Summary: With the exclusive video game license of the NFL and its players, and currently in its 17th installment, Madden NFL 07 puts you in control the running game like never before. For the first time ever, step up as the lead blocker to create a hole, and 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. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    It's Madden like you've never played it before and that's something we haven't said in a long time.

    A great sports game in its own right. [Issue 144, p.98]

    Regardless of the evolving antipathy towards current-gen, this game has its share of improvements. [Nov. 2006, p.79]

    There's still that nagging feeling that, certainly on a few of the defensive plays, you could put down the controller and it wouldn't make any difference to how the action panned out.

    New lead block controls are too much in the gameplay. Otherwise the game is funner than ever! Graphics are slightly better and the new superstar mode improved a lot! Madden steped up after buying out all other football franchises.… Expand

    It could be a 10 but the poor fantasy draft mode where position runs make it easy to plan who to draft when. Also they need to add a hall of fame for the franchise mode.… Expand

    Madden 07 is just like 06. It's all the same except for maybe some of the different analog moves you can make with RB's or OL. The QB cone needs to go, but keep the precision passing option with leading the receiver or throwing it high or low. The cone is too much to use when trying to look around and making sure you have the cone on your man, and looking down at the pass rush.… Expand

    It's good to see Gamespot, IGN, and 1UP are calling EA's bluff. This game is the SAME. New features? I guess. I'd call them new "gimmicks". This isn't better football, this is more distractive football. Slight of hand tricks stopped working on me in 2004. I hope someone in the video game world steps up to the challenge and says Madden you stink! You have gotten fat and complacent...it's time for the rookies to come in and revolutionalize this tired genre.… Expand
