<a href="http://www.maddenoliday.com" target="_self">Oh, it's on, bitches.</a> I'm getting both the 360 and PS2 versions.  I'm hoping and praying that the 360 version is not the abortion of blown expectations that last year was. MY 360 has actually been collecting dust... I've been playing the PS2 exclusively.  Hopefully Madden 07 will change that.  <img width="425" height="600" border="0" src="http://www.xbox-360.fr/screens/madden_nfl_07/pochette.jpg" />

Yeah, I'm gonna get the 360 version as well. Both my 360 and PS2 have been collecting dust, all my games come out in the fall.

but Vilma is fast, strong, and a machine. i agree reading my message that travesty line could be taken as sarcasm well its not im serious. vilma is the best lb under 25 in the league, and ill argue all day that hes the best mlb in the league and the best tackler. see last year vilma was an 89 but dj williams was a fuckin 91. thats bullshit williams may be the better athlete but vilma is the better linebacker. if vilma is lower than williams again im gonna be pissed. whats more of a joke the fact that vilma only made the probowl as an alternate. he led the the league with over 170 tackles in his second year and hes a fuckin alternate but then again vick was a pro bowler so waht does it really mean?

Tenbatsuzen

For that matter, who cares about the pro-bowl?  It's awful. Personally, I'd play the pro-bowl in the weekend before the Super Bowl.  Anyone who's playing in the Super Bowl can take a pass on the game, and the NFL comps them a free trip to Hawaii after the Super Bowl.

thanks fallon its not a complete list but its better than nothing. and if this is accurate how the fuck is shaun alexander a 98 and lt a 97? tomlinson is the complete package with not a single true star on his line, alexander had two beasts on his line last year, no way should he have higher rankings, and if he has a higher catch than tomlinson then i will be missing the 2k series like never beforeedit: i understand that freeney should have a higher overall than peppers but no way in hell should he be faster than peppers. peppers is faster than most lb's never mind de's. peppers intercepted a ball on his ten and took it to the house, he got stiff armed got up ran up to the ball carier and tackled him, freeney cant even dream of doing that stuff. madden needs to fix this shit. just one more reason to hate the colts

Why would you get that annoyed with how the players are rated ?Cant you adjust their ratings if you disagree with the factory set attributes ?

This message was edited by Fallon on 8-7-06 @ 1:40 PM   Favre is an 88 overall, and Vick is a 91? Oh, this doesn't bode well.Leinart and Vince Young also having the same overal numbers is just RIDICULOUS.  Young's arm and feet is much, MUCH better than Leinart.  The only think Leinart has going for him is his head.

Say what you want about Vick, his QB rating was higher than Favre's last season and he has insane mobility. He absolutely should be rated higher than Favre. This says nothing about Vick, and everything about Favre. Favre has a higher rating than Steve McNair. That's a fucking travesty. Favre is lucky to be cracking 80 at this point in his career.

Favre is lucky to be cracking 80 at this point in his career.   That's exactly what I meant.  Vick still has a massive upside to his career.  Vick's got tools, just a lousy system.  Favre, not so much.  Tons of INTs and just a horrible season.  He's still got those "intangibles", but intangibles don't equate to a three point differential between you and one of the better younger QBs in the league.

So, to make up for that, they have no choice but to raise Leinart's other stats to compensate.

Cant you adjust their ratings if you disagree with the factory set attributes not on the 360 version, at least last year. and im not taking anything for granted when it comes to ea

Am I a homo because I hate playing Madden online against people I don't know? It's very rare I play online, and when I do, it's against people I know in real life.

I agree with Tenbats...I would only play Madden against people I know

The few times I played against random people it was no fun because they cheated so much...they would put CBs and safties at DE and you would never have time to make any passes...It was annoying and dumb

yeah i noticed the article a couple days ago fallon but thanks again i think its funny that kellen clemens is better than brooks bollinger.

Dude..if your like me and want some reality in your sports games, you may want to hold off on the 360 version.On another board I check out, they have testers of the game reporting that there is no fatigue feature. You can mash the speed burst button all day and your players will never get tired. <a href="http://forums.operationsports.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=179346">http://forums.operationsports.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=179346</a> They also have a problem with Hall of Fame players being brought into the franchise aspect of the game whether you want them included or not. They do have a work around for this already however. <a href="http://forums.operationsports.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=179518">http://forums.operationsports.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=179518</a> You have to register with that forum so if you want a rundown without doing that let me know.

played the 360 version a little tonight, and it's not too bad, no madden on commentary (some radio thing instead, maybe for the "big games it's Michaels/madden), but the graphics are impressive!!!  gameplay is standard madden, but I like teh game so far
