Oh, new guy on the box too. Besides the standard updates. Madden NFL 07 adds some standard new. Also added is the defensive commit. Further attempts to map analogue pad controls to keyboard and mouse have also been made, which only serve to confuse, so stick with a gamepad. While Madden retains its position as the best NFL game about, and continues to present itself excellently, this update isn't monumental.
It's merely the bacon topping on an already bulging turducken. That's turkey, duck and chicken. I think it's safe to say that Madden titles represent the upper echelon of football sports titles.
I'm not sure how much of this is a solid foundation, and how much is the responsibility of EA Sports, but you can't play a game like this and think badly of it. With fantastic graphics and a solid presentation, this is the sort of game that rewards any football fan lucky enough to play it.
Naturally, the sim aspect is strong in this game. EA Sport's massively popular Madden series is back once again on the PC this year but this time around, change is in the air. While EA have decided to delay any port of the Next Gen engine to the PC for at least one more year, a new team in HeadGateStudios - responsible for the Tiger Woods PC series - is at the helm for Madden PC development and while not a whole lot has changed since 06, all signs are pointing towards that things are looking much brighter for the fans of the PC series.
As with most Madden's, EA have added few new main features to the game for The first main addition is an extension to 06's 'Superstar' mode, now termed 'Superstar: Hall of Fame' mode. The problem with Superstar mode in 06 was, once you got the off field activities out of the way, the in-game action was exactly the same as any other mode. This has changed in 07's Hall of Fame mode, as you can now choose to control your superstar, and only your superstar, on the field. For example, if your created superstar is a Left Tackle, the camera is changed to give you a close range third person angle and you'll only control him in his duties protecting the QB and closing the edge on running plays.
You can play at any position, and each position has its own functions involving the right analog stick. As with last year's Superstar mode though, Hall of Fame mode probably won't appeal to the realists in the NFL gaming community - stats are a little crazy and the CPU tend to throw a lot of Interceptions when you're not controlling the QB. HoF is probably going to be more of a sub-mode for the PC crowd to occasionally mix up how you play the game.
The other two major additions, Lead Blocking Control and the Highlight Stick, are built to enhance the running game. With lead blocking, you can control any blocker on any running play to create a hole yourself, and either switch back in real time to the HB to run through it or let the CPU do it.
This is a pretty cool addition to the game as it's very rewarding and quite difficult to master. Perhaps the best part is Lead Blocking is completely under your control regarding whether or not you want to use it - if you feel it gives you too much of an advantage over the CPU, you can easily not use it by not pressing the lead blocker selection button before the snap.
The other running feature, the Highlight Stick, is an extension to the Truck stick featured in This time around, only the big bruiser backs can perform the truck animations, while the smaller and more agile backs have a massive amount of agility based break tackles at their disposal. If you're using an exceptionally quick footed back like Reggie Bush or Warrick Dunn, you can even string multiple Highlight stick animations together to produce some truly amazing runs.
However, despite EA's format of adding a few key features in each year to sell the game, if you ask any Madden PC gamer to list their priorities in their NFL gaming, chances are you'll see "franchise mode" high up on the list - a mode that has been in the series for years but still doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves features wise.
Madden 07 PC, while remaining largely similar to 06, improves upon a few key aspects in the franchise mode. First of all, they have added the ability to edit players mid franchise in-game, assign team captains and change the injury sliders for in-game and simulated games - all three of these features weren't "officially" in 06 PC, but were available if you downloaded user made editors.
The PS2 and Xbox versions have had most of these somewhat minor yet vital features for 3 years now so it's about time they picked up the slack for the PC version. Outside of adding stuff that should have been in the PC version years ago, they have added a new feature called 'Player Roles', which define specific capabilities or influences a player can have.
There are many more roles varying in positive or negative effects, ranging from "Team Distraction" to "Fan Favorite", and each player can have a maximum of two roles, although most of the lesser known players have none for the first season in a franchise. Roles are added and subtracted each offseason depending on what happened the season prior - for instance, for a player to retain the "Pass Rusher" role, he'll need to actually rack up some sacks or it will be stripped from him.
