I am so glad that I read the reviews before buying this game! I rented it and I don't understand how EA could have ruined such a great franchise! Don't even bother unless you want to be dissapionted.

How can you have a Madden game without John Madden himself? The only thing provided is some wack radio commentary. The graphics are great but this is the worst Madden version I've ever played. Don't buy this.

This Isn't Madden, This Is Garbage.....

When I bought this, I thought great, this new "Madden 07' PS3 version" should be incredible, needless to say it's complete junk. Don't buy it, just stick with the PS2 version of Madden 07 instead. It's better. Let's just hope that when Madden 2008 is issued for the PS3, they will have done a much better job....

Video game

My grandson loves the game. It was a gift. It has been worth the price for the enjoyment he and his dad have gotten out of it.

Dont buy this game

What a waste of money. You are better off playing the xbox and ps2 versions. I have never been more disapointed in a game before.

I got this game the day it came out and I had to wait about 3 months to get a ps3 to play it and I got the 60GB. The first thing you are going to notice when you play the game is the shift from ps2 to ps3! Like the gameplay is slower than the lightning fast ps2 version and also the controls are different, like R2 is to sprint instead of X, but you'll get use to it. Also, the menus are hard to navigate and they sometimes freeze, like you'll be trying to view a teams roster and it won't let you go back to the menus. Second, the graphics are so cool but some of the players faces don't look like themselves and reggie bush's face, oh my gosh!, but he's fast with the cool highlight stick, also there are no referees or the chain people on the field and there is no net behind the field goal post and when you kick the ball and it is good it goes through like there is a net, now that is weird! But I recommend this game if you don't have this year's madden on a another platform or your new to video games and you like pro football. Well its just another year for us madden fans, but we are definitely hoping that madden 08 is going to way better.

I Expected So Much More

I have been playing Madden forever, and have gotten every single new version since 2001. Every year got progressively better, and while I didn't like some features when they were new (i.e. - the quarterback vision thing) I learned to deal with them and use them.

I expected this release to blow my socks off. I was expecting to get confused as to if I was watching a game or playing one. I was horribly let down.

The graphics are okay. I expected more honestly, a lot more, but I won't give EA too much crap for a game on a new system. A little, but not too much. I fully expect '08 will graphically excel and own all.

Graphically, in terms of how things are laid out and viewed, the game blows. Depending on your team's colors, time of day, weather, and field, the score/game clock/play clock can be next to impossible to decipher. Play calling is an exercise in frustration. Playing a human opponent in the same room, allows him/her to see the plays you are picking, there is no triangle, circle, square selection. You have to highlight your play and hope they fell asleep waiting. So now you go to the line, and they know you are doing a half-back dive. Damn you EA you think as you see their line backers creep up. Sure you could audible, but that is almost worse than just going for it and seeing what happens.

And no Madden? I mean c'mon. Its called "Madden" for the love of God. Sure his comments are obvious, his voice annoying... but we love him nonetheless.

Overall I get the impression that EA tried way too hard to make this Madden different, so as to herald the PS3's release, but in the effort they ruined the best thing they had going.

So to conclude I have a short wish list for EA.
1) Improve the play calling function
2) Improve the graphics (I paid a lot of money for my PS3 and I wanna see what it can do!)
3) Change the user display, go old school
4) Bring back Madden

Final word: you are much better off playing the '06 PS2 disc and waiting one more year.

I like it but it could be better

I bought this game and the graphics just jumped out at me. They are really good. The game play is different. It is fun to play but the defensive is like swiss cheese. Also it sometimes seems like the players are just skating instead of running it seems like. The new interface is somewhat confusing at first. I hope the next Madden is better. Or if you did not know there is going to be a new 2K football game. So maybe hopefully they will give madden football what it needs. A kick in the butt!

I have to agree with the general opinion of this Madden

I'll start by stating that I was a big fan of the Madden games until I played Sega's NFL 2K5 on the PS2. After EA bought the exclusive rights to the NFL games, I was rather peeved. Madden 2007 for the PS3 just enforces the reasons for my dismay.

Pros:

- NFL foolball
- Improved graphics from the previous generation of video game consoles (not by the leaps and bounds you'd expect though)
- That's about it

Cons:

- Graphics not up to the quality you'd expect from next gen technology.
- Controls feel 'off', especially on defense.
- change of the speed burst button from X to R2...this was very difficult to get used to.
- create-a-player was ruined. Yeah, it was kind of cheap to be able to build the perfect player. Now you have to participate in drills to set your created player's attributes. While fine in theory, the drills (think scounting combine...bench press, 40yd dash, etc) weren't well executed. I really noticed the 'off' feel of the controls while running through a tackling drill with a LB. It was the same setup as the Mini-Camp drill from previous games (which I normally ruled at), but I could barely make a tackle. The players just didn't feel responsive.

Bottom line, this game felt rushed. I had a feeling EA would let the quality of their NFL game slip now that there's no competition. I can't even recommend renting this game, let alone buying it. It really seems that all of EA Sports titles are slipping greatly in terms of quality.

horrible graphics
