Madden 07

[stepsukie]

AUG 22...cant wait...HOF edition is a bunch of CRAP that you can watch on ESPN classic (except for the PS3 stuff). New Superstar mode looks pretty shweet. http://www.maddenoliday.com/app/content/shell

PS...does anyone know where they can get MADDEN 07 Player rankings???

SHWEEEET!
Thanks!if the rep power giver thing was their...i would totally hit it.

[BanditsRock11]

So who went and got it already? Being the loser than I am, after the Bisons game me and some friends killed some time and went and picked it up ar EB games around midnight. We were up until about 3am playing and I've been playing since I woke up. I love it, too bad the Bills are tied for the 2nd worst team in the game!



Heres a halrious article on Madden and its ratings from ESPN

[Mouldsie]

that was hilarious

[Scary Good]

Willis didn't have a big ego rating? WTF?

[l3ills]

I love the game. I cant wait to draft to see the new features.

[GOBILLSGO!!!]

it is last years madden...with a roster change...granted it depends on what system you purchased it on...

[24Impala]

44 -- Drew Bledsoe's agility rating. Proof that the people at EA Sports are kind, generous souls. And that their rating system does not include negative numbers.

:rofl:

[SC FAN]

So is it worth picking up??

[Sparx]

I got it for ps2. basically a roster update. They STILL don't have pictures of miami's rookies from last year, and obviously don't have this years'. They painted it up a little, thats it. POS wasn't worth 50 bucks.

[BillsYankees]

In my game the overall points for each team is only a difference of like 8 points between the worst team and best. Same for everyones? The Bills are also rated 85 in my game.

[sukie]

Merged the thread... The step sukie was whining. Hee Hee
He started it first.

[smashingt2312]

I got it at circuit city for 37.99 for the PS2 so not a bad deal, the new highlight stick is cool, and you can pull of some amazing runs, good buy.

[freedomfrypizza]

"Madden's advanced technology allows one to simulate what Alex Smith would look like remaining vertical for an entire play."

[Dontdieman]

I like the rookie workouts. Its great. I worked out some LE and wasnt impressed then I worked out this MLB. o man was I high on him. worked him out three times (only allowed 8 overall) Took him 16th overall and hes a 87 off the bat.

Good bye Mr.Fletcher :rockon:

[mighty peace warrior]

i like the game, i didnt buy last years so it has lots of new features to me..be cooler if i could import guys from ncaa 06 since i am not buying 07

[Victor7]

I have last years and love it. Is it worth it to spend 50 bucks ?? ........ If its just a roster update then no thanks if it really has cool new features then I'll do it. Anyone care to give an opinion ?

[two4trippn]

Is there any game depth differences between Xbox and the 360 release?

[stepsukie]

I simmed the Bills season WITHOUT PLAYING, and Buffalo went 9-7 making the wild card. Losing to the colts in the wild card round by 3 points, with Holcomb throwing a INT for an Indy TD with 1:30 left. Jets were 8-0 in first half, 1-7 in second half. NE went 11-5 and the Phins went 5-11. HOO WAH!!

[TRIPLE P]

Is there any game depth differences between Xbox and the 360 release?

My buddy has a OG Xbox and I have a 360.... he says there are differences between the two as far as the controls go.....

360 has sick graphics though.

[pigpen65]

360 has sick graphics though.

Is the game play pretty much the same?

[TRIPLE P]

Is the game play pretty much the same?



The game play is better than last years 360 Madden, which I didn't like.

I haven't played regular XBOX's version yet because my only friend with one has it in his bedroom and I can't in good conscience sit with another man alone in his room on his bed for any reason.

[Sabres244]

wow, this game isnt very good, the rosters arent even close, the apperance is still the same, except silver not black,the only good things are the superstar mode, the offseson is the dynasty is much better, other than that its doo doo

[Sparx]

Good job EA. You got rid of your competition, and now you suck. coincidence?

[mighty peace warrior]

is it normal for their to be no madden/michaels in superstar mode? I find it a bit disturbing

[mighty peace warrior]

That and my QB superstar got injured on his second play in the regular season. I have tried twice to make players a QB and a LB..both ended up on the BUCs.

[BillsRGreat]

ps2 sucks... like said earlier.. it's 2006 with some updates...

my buddy has xbox live as well.... Let's just say it makes ps2 look like atari

[jaymitch84]

I think it is like that because you are actually the player on the field, and the players can't hear them announce when they are playing.

I can't be entirely sure though, don't have the game yet.

Hey Jay totally love the video on your sig !!! ...... man did that hateable Brushi get leveled by EMO

[Mouldsie]

I loved when Moulds crack blocked on LB's.... Zach Thomas getting laid out is one of my fondest memories

ya that is what i saw on another forum..i guess its more "real" but i am used to hearing them when i am playing

[WhiteRabbit]

I'm surprised no one has noticed that the fatigue on Madden '07 for xbox 360 never goes down for any players. Yes, I have fatigue enabled. GrapeDrink pointed it out to me, and it's kinda lame. I thought a lot of kinks would be ironed out between '06 and '07, not really. Instead of all these new features, I would have liked a working fatigue feature and mass subs. Kinda disappointing, Table Tennis is far more fun :D

NCAA '07, on the other hand, rocks.

[mighty peace warrior]

i just went from "pro" to "all-pro", {yes i know you are all superior and play stricktly on all-madden good for you}

I went from completing 70 percent of my passes to just plain sucking..

lol !!!

I usually kick some serious ass on All Pro but when I switch to All Madden its 50-50 ............ its amazing how much thougher it gets from all pro to all madden

I can still kick ass on all madden but I like to Do All Pro for Regular season and All madden for playoffs because the playoffs have a whole new level of play in real life too

[Sabres244]

well i have still been winning because i am good at defense....my last game 5 minute quarters sped up, i beat the Pats 7-6 despite throwing 5 pics(with holcomb just so we get that out of the way)

[Sabres244]

I cant stand this game, I can only get one side of the ball good on a franchise, first my Bills defense was good, 2nd in the NFL for 2 years in a row, but the offense sucked, then I got the offense going, had JP up to 95, Willis 98, and Lee was a 1000 yard reciever for 6 straight years, and had a solid oline, then my defense couldnt stop itself, 32nd for 3 straight yrs, John McCargo is terrible on that game

[Mouldsie]

madden has lost it's charm on me, havent bought it yet, first time in years i waited more than a day


then when i get it i likely wont play it enough to make it past pro level with consistency

[gunnar_zero]

Does anyone know how to keep the Hall of famers from coming into your franchise mode? Like its bullshit tp have some team sign Sammy baugh, and the other hall of famers

[Sabres244]

just dont unlock them, or look in the options or something

[gunnar_zero]

ALso, anyone else think the ratigns are pure crap?

Matt Shaub is an 85, come on, he hasnt earned that.

Jp is a 77 yet Jason Cambell, Andrew Walter, Mike McMahon and charlie frye were rated higher? CRAP

[dogginbox]

i just went from "pro" to "all-pro", {yes i know you are all superior and play stricktly on all-madden good for you}

I went from completing 70 percent of my passes to just plain sucking..

all-pro seems different this yr, the offense of the cpu can actually move the ball on me and ive actually gotten smoked a few times.....gonna be a while before i bump it up to all-madden.

there is a lot i could complain about w/ this yrs version, particularly the fact that they seem to have eliminated hot route blocking or maybe its me and just cant figure out how to do it cuz im still getting used to XBOX 360. if hot route blocking is still in the game & someone knows how to do it please fill me in.

another thing is there a roster update available & if so how do i access it on XBOX 360?

overall as far as the game goes, so far i cant complain as far as game play goes because ive had some of the best games ive ever played including a win against the raiders in which i came back from a 21 - 7 defecit w/ a lil more than a qrtr left to play and pulled out a 28 - 21 win. terrance mcgee is a bad muh f'er in this game.

however my disappointments are really upsetting. the espn intergration sucks. they get the espn licsense and all they do is add the espn ticker!?!?!?!?

i was expecting some halftime shows, & maybe some highlights - a more tv style presentation. normally im not too picky about this sort of stuff, im more interested in gameplay but for next gen this is a serious dissapointment.

[mighty peace warrior]

i went back to "pro" in superstar mode

the poor vision the qb has now is handicap enough, for some reason now i am doing better overall but throwing pics in the end zone

the one game i played with him on allpro i had a 5 qb rating..now i am back in the 110 area each game

a 5? that is ryan leaf material

[Carl J. Ironsides]

Anyone know when the hell the roster updates are coming? I just got the game yesterday and there aren't any. I can't start a franchise until EA releases them.

they better come soon because it's not kool finding guys like Reyes,Kyle Williams, and others as free agents

[BeastMode Deep]

Kyle Williams is a FA?????

[Carl J. Ironsides]

Kyle Williams is a FA?????

Yeah, so is Reyes, and Bennie Anderson's still our LG. EA gave no effort as far as rosters.

[BeastMode Deep]

I knew about Reyes and Anderson and I corrected that on my own. I just figured they didnt put K Williams in. Thats just Bullshit on EA's part to make him a FA

[Sabres244]

Kiwauke Thomas is a FA to, but I dont think he'll be a Bill much longer

[Sabres244]

by the way, McCargo is brutal on that game, hope it's not a sign of things to come

[gunnar_zero]

Reyes starts at lg for the bills on 360, but Kyle williams is a FA.

Alot of rookie FA that should be on teams, but they are "cut" o fa to make rosters right size

[gunnar_zero]

Good bye Mr.Fletcher :rockon:

How do you work out rookies? Is that ps2 only? I just went straight to draft on 360, did I miss something?

[stepsukie]

do you mean work out rookies for their scouting reports?

[dogginbox]

is there a roster update for 360 yet?

[gunnar_zero]

do you mean work out rookies for their scouting reports?

Im not sure. he said he worked out rookies, which seemed different than the old games. on 360 I havent even seen a scout option for the draft.

[l3ills]

Im playing a WR in SS mode it is KICK ASS! I got drafted by the Bills in the 3rd round and I was an 89 overall to start with Im 6'3" with a 99 in speed I won Rookie of the year MVP and Offensive player of the year. I also caught 35 TD's and 2400 receiving yards...and the Bills went 15-1 and won the SB!

[smashingt2312]

Idk what it is, this game just doesnt seem as addictive as the other maddens, i mean last year i got hooked for at least a month, but this year nothing. hmm, jope nhl is good, because last years was awful.

[stepsukie]

I imported my player from NCAA...got drafted by the CHIEFS. MY GUY'S A 96! WTF? its cool and all, but a rookie being a 96...STARTING in front of Trent Green? c'mon.

[Carl J. Ironsides]

Roster updates tomorrow, fellas. I think. I haven't played Madden since the day I got it because the rosters are so grossly outdated. EA better not half-ass it.

[Scary Good]

Anyone know how to play good D? My roomate is whooping me...who should I put on Shockey? Thats all he goes to...or what D should I play to help with my pass D?

No, I have shootouts with my buds too, I hate it

Play a zone D. Then just get your linebacker and cover shockey yourself.

[Sabres244]

ok, In the franchise is you want a QB, trade for Matt Schuab..do the one of the QB training camp things and he'll be amazing got him up to a 99 in 2 yrs in Oakland

[Mouldsie]

Anyone know how to play good D? My roomate is whooping me...who should I put on Shockey? Thats all he goes to...or what D should I play to help with my pass D?

Call the double TE defense..... then in addition to that cover him manually with your DE, if you need more speed from your manually used coverage lineman substitute Andre Davis for Chris Kelsay and have him play DE :D

Thats my best bet

[phishhead220]

roster updates are supposedly due out tommorow according to the EA rep on their support forums.

i wonder if they will include today's Deion Branch trade etc.

He also confirmed a patch for the xbox360 version, which i assume fixes the fatigue glitch
