Ok, I heard all the BAD things and I have stayed away from this game till now. Today I went out and found a used copy, traded in some old games and got this thing home. Now this is fresh, unadulterated, after first (offline) game feelings about this game.
1. Looks Great! never thought I would see something like this on a console. And remeber this is just the FIRST TRY!
2. Seems smooth all around. Nice feel on the controls to me.
3. Finally they have a nice menu system. no more getting lost in multiple pages. I like how LIVE is right there with out having to flick through pages to "press A" and connect, log in etc etc.
I think most of the bad feelings about this game is the lack of features, and the conreol changes are drastic. I mean this is really more like 1/3 rd of a game. The price seems a little much for what your getting. I mean I'm still flailing my thumbs around the controller like any noob should be. But I feel when you get the controls and can acually do what you want, when you want the game will be more enjoyble. IF you can get past the lack of playmaker, practice, challenges, etc.
I know this may have been covered and sorry for making you read it again if that is the case for you. I just felt the urge to post how I felt, even with my SHORT time in the game. So flame me if you want. And I agree the controls are a shock, the features they took out really take it down a few notches. Madden players are a different breed of gamers. and you mess with the game they have known for so long it makes a few angry. Every new feature over the years has had it's own lack of support in the begining. Now the game is NEW. I personally see the potential here. But I am also happy I did not pay full price (for this version). If EA plays their cards right Madden 07 should be worth the $59.99 price tag.
