Most of the madden football games are basically the same thing; however for the 2007 edition they added some new features. As a Football game I find it to be the worse, some people prefer the changes, but I believe all they did was hinder the game play.
A new function called the QB vision has been added, what this does is let you see easier the receivers that are open and the button you have to throw to that receiver. Also it highlights the screen area. How could this possibly be bad your asking yourself well for starters you already know which button to throw to which receive, to use this QB vision you have to hold down the right trigger (Xbox 360) if you’re not in QB vision you can’t throw the ball also you can’t immediately go into QB vision since the ball has to be hiked to the QB and pressing that trigger button to soon will mess the play up.
Another new feature they added is a mode called super star mode. In this mode you can do random things that star players do such as choosing which products you will endorse, and deciding whether or not you will take a role in a film. I have to admit that is kind of neat and is the best part of this function. You are basically supposed to live as a super star player, most of your days all you have are repetitive practices, however you can skip and go straight to games. But that’s actually pretty cool, now what sucks about this mode is you don’t get to choose the position you play it is based off your parents occupation. What sucks is when you’re stuck as a linebacker or any defensive man, it’s just boring, and most people just want to be QB. To make it worse you don’t play half the game if you’re on offense and your defense players played by computers mess up you’re screwed, and yes you do get to sit through the whole thing and watch as you’re not playing.
So if you plan on playing a madden game just play an older version it’s cheaper and you don’t have to deal with that new crap.

I remember playing madden '94? '95? somewhere in there and it had a bug where if you were on defense and you called your play before the offense did you could take your guy and run into their huddle and knock everyone down and then run back and not get a penalty.
good times....they should have left that feature in.
keep posting.

I got '06 for christmas one year and it had some of that new shit and at first I hated it.. All that QB vision non-sense was a pain but after puttin it down for a few months and playing it again after a while you get used to the new stuff.. Also Madden on XBox is far worse than PS2.. The players are all herky jerky and it's not natural at all.. Yep.
