Madden NFL 2007 lets you control the running game like never before. For the first time ever, step up as the lead blocker to create a hole, 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. Between the tackles or in the open field, run to daylight with Madden NFL 07. Use actual plays from your favorite team's defensive playbook to shut down the running game, pressure the quarterback, or force key turnovers

I gave up on Madden back on the 2005 version (which totally stunk). I had liked pretty all the versions from 98 on with a couple exceptions. I believe the big dissapointment was the 2000 version, but subsequent years were good. They improved the graphics of course with newer versions especially 2003 & 2004! But unfortunatly Madden did not make a good game for the console. Even after I tried some of the older versions I liked on PC, they were not the same for Xbox. So after getting tired of playing the old games, I enjoyed ESPN Football 2004 & 2005. I played those games for a couple years. But after reading nothing but bad things each year about the new Madden football, I held off on buying any more Maddens. But I finally decided to try the 2007 version. Honestly, this is the best PC sim ever made. It's better than ESPN football because the graphics are way better (on a good video card) and the gameplay is more realistic. If you play it on an older computer though without a good video card, you will get a false impression. The processor speed, memory, and video card make a difference (to make this the game experience it was meant to be). I don't rate advanced features too much, I'm talking mainly about your basic gameplay. Running offense, defense, special teams, etc and not being agitated by annoying things (that were filled in the 2005 version). The gameplay is smooth as silk, the running, tackling, catching, tackling is more realistic than any other PC sim. And they finally improved kick off returns which up to this version were impossible in Madden, no matter what you did. Now if you set up good blocks, and get a gap down the field, you can run it all the way. Or at least have a nice run back. Detail is vastly improved, realistic looking playing surfaces, grass, etc. Many of the small details I was very impressed with. But without a doubt this is the best football sim out there. ESPN football takes second place. Hopefully Madden will make a great football game this year for the Xbox 360 that can compare to this. I would really like to play it on my high definition TV. But for now, it's the best thing and vastly improved over previous years.

Great game. We have Madden '03 for the Nintendo GameCube and like it, but '07 is worlds above. Outstanding graphics, better controls, more indepth stats. My nine year old son and I have tournaments and he's really starting to understand and like football because of this game.

I Bought Madden 07 This Last March. It's A Great Game! Over A Month Ago, I Created A HB On Superstar: Hall Of Fame Mode. I Am Getting Really Good At HB. In my 6th Regular Season Game, I Returned A Kick 94 Yards For A Touchdown Against The Chargers! Earlier I Played Franchise Mode With The Raiders. It's Fun, But It's Not Really My Thing. The Graphics Have Improved Since 2006. But The Sideline Players Look Unreal. Another Thing Is The Music. I Like Most Of The Songs, But Some Of Them Aren't Very Good In My Opinion. I Think Madden 07 Is The Best Football Game You Can Get!! So If You're Looking For A Good Football Game, This Is The One You've Been Looking For!

I don't get a Madden every year however, I think that this is the best one I have played so far. I especially like the changes from my last version, 03. The Franchise mode is much better and the nfl superstar is a lot of fun and seemingly very realistic.

Very good game overall, the only thing I don't like is the view when playing on hall of fame mode.
