Madden NFL 07 (PS3/360)

Madden NFL 07 is a football video game developed by EA Tiburon and published by Electronic Arts released on August 22nd, 2006. This page covers the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 3 and mh:awesomegames:Xbox 360 versions of the game only.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Gameplay remains rough due to the broken gaming engine introduced in Madden NFL 06 (Xbox 360).
 * 2) Super sluggish and confusing menu system, a problem among many that has plagued commonly all EA Sports games for many years.
 * 3) Unbearable framerate severely damaging the game's responsiveness.
 * 4) Presentation is bare bones.
 * 5) Dull, uninspired commentary that is provided by a generic un-named radio announcer instead of Al Michaels and John Madden once again.
 * 6) Franchise mode is extremely shallow once again, and there isn't even an owner mode!
 * 7) No ability to edit players.
 * 8) Awquard animations and various physical bugs.
 * 9) AI is still braindead.
 * 10) Weak sound design.
 * 11) No Tony Bruno radio show.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Great graphics for the time.
 * 2) Superstar mode is at least included this time, although it is inferior to the previous generation versions.
 * 3) At least, the Xbox 360 version features Create-a-player mode.
 * 4) At least it still has the same excellent soundtrack as the sixth-gen versions.

Reception
Despite positive reception from critics (80 and 76 on Metacritic), a glaring sign of bribery, these two versions of this game are considered by fans to be two of the worst of the franchise.
