Yep. Just found that out today. I traded in 11 old gamecube games and got enough credit to cover Madden.
got the game at midnight and my impressions so far are pretty accurate to what i expected. after a couple hours playing, mind you... - interface of menu is decent...getting tired of seeing carr already - new animations and a few that really impressed me - sometimes i caught myself watching the crowd instead of the game - graphics are nice - superstar mode is interesting...created a wr, worked out (4.72 40, 11 reps were my bests ) got drafted by the bears. interesting enough is that whatever i did, im rated as the number 2 wr but decided to put me as the 3rd, in the slot. practiced and caught quit a few balls down the middle...but caught 1 pass for 9yrs in 1st preseason game. didnt play much in the 2nd half besides a few kick/punt returns = total 21yrs on 3 returns. cant wait to play a season tomorrow though. superstar is different, fun, and improved but id much rather have control of my whole team. have to get to bed though as work tomorrow morning and i was told that they didnt want to see me as a zombie all day because of madden.
here is a review for the 360 from teamxbox 8.3 http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1206/Madden-NFL-07/p1/ The Bottom Line Madden NFL 07 is the first fully-featured football game for the Xbox 360, so I’ll still Give Tiburon a bit of latitude due to the hurry-up offense needed to ship last year’s SKU. But I still have to question some things that haven’t been thoroughly addressed here; namely, game smoothness, online functionality, and co-op play. Madden NFL 07 is undoubtedly jam-packed with things to do, and most of them are enjoyable additions, but I would have preferred a better framework to begin with. With a bit more attention to in-game fluidity and detail, and the inclusion of core extras such as online leagues and co-op, Madden NFL 07 could have been stellar. It’s good for sure, but Madden NFL 07 isn’t a lock in this gamer’s Hall of Fame.
IGN also has some of their reviews up for the game. From the 360 review: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/726/726977p1.html The other reviews: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/726/726721p1.html (PS2/XBX/PC got a 8.3) http://psp.ign.com/articles/726/726725p1.html (PSP got a 8.0)
I think he means on xbox live...That sucks...That was what i was looking forward to most....Getting in a division with 3 friends and knocking them out of the playoffs.
