What is up with John Madden Football?

I agree that 07 on 360 was better than 06 ( hell what couldnt be ) but its missing a ton of shit.

I personally think this is on purpose by ea so each year than can add a "new" feature that we all have already had therefore adding "value" each year to convince you to buy.

I cant wait for the 2k sports football release this year. They said it would happen. I wouldnt care if it was real teams, as 2k5 was easily the best football game ive ever played.
 
I totally agree the Sega versions were so much better than EA's version of football. I've only rented the '06 and '07 versions of madden as I am somewhat boycotting buying that game since they snatched the license.

Hopefully when and if that license expires Sega can get on board quickly again.
 
Well, Im thinking about trading this game in for NCAA 07. It's just fucking almost unplayable imo. The game is fucking incomplete. It doesn't imerse you like the old maddens dide.
 
It didn't play too badly. While I much prefer NCAA 2007 for PS2 over the 360 game, there is a brilliance about the graphical quality, the presentation, and the direction that EA Tiburon might take.

Too bad they don't spend nearly as much money on College football as they do on Madden.
 
the ea college games have been better than madden for the past few years, but i don't really watch any college football so it's a lot harder for me to get into
 
Next Gen Madden and NCAA is total shit . I've bought '06 and '07 for 360 and I don't really see it getting better unless they totally start from scratch for '08.

What they need to do for '08:

-Get the frame rate back up to 60 FPS. It feels so choppy and slow at 30 FPS and it's not fun.

-The AI blows... too hard to play defense because its horrible.

-Controls are still a bit sluggish although it does feel a lot better in '07 than '06.

-Go back to the old playcalling menu. It's really lame that you have to "fake" your call so your friends don't know what play you just called.

-Get rid of the current announcer and get Madden and Michaels back in. The announcer sounds like he's talking out of a god damned can.

-Some stadiums just don't look right. Like Paul Brown stadium is WAY too dark and you can't see shit when playing in there. And no it's not my TV because i've played it on 3 different TV's and it has looked like crap on every TV.
 
I think Madden has always been the better game, and I'm a much bigger college fan than pro fan.

I guess some people do like playing the college style more (with the options and trick plays), but I don't think NCAA is ever better than Madden in any other way.
 
played both college and madden, madden looked and played alot better. and id still rather play "missing features" madden over 2k series of games. tried those every year and they were brutal, didnt do a thing for me.
 
to clarify i was referring to the regular xbox versions. haven't played last years versions on the 360, and only played madden 07 so far this year.
