Madden 07 marks a turnaround for the franchise on the 360, and that's reason enough for football fans to rejoice. [Oct. 2006, p.77]

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.

This is the year EA Sports finally shows 360 owners what the series is all about, the trash talking, the head-to-head competition, the ability to create yourself and become a bigger star than the Seahawk on the box.

There is barely anything to do and the games feel very long but the gameplay is good.

Maybe a 4 is a bit nice. I don't know where to start. For one gameplay is a bit weird at times but not bad, so mediocre at best. I don't like that all players have these big muscles and shoulder pads which isn't realistic. The presentation is bland, to say the least. There is a severe lack of game modes and features. Superstar mode is bad while Franchise is watered down. So, I wouldn't recommend this game but I do recommend it if you're playing it on a 6th gen console.

Sadly Madden 07 is only a little bit better than 06. The real improvements were the graphics; other than that the game modes were still way behind the PS2 games.

Yards better than has faltering debut on 360, Johnny M is back. [Dec 2006, p.100]

Animations and movements look awesome, gameplay is changed in a good way and the durability is improved by the Live franchise mode and by making your own superstar. If you’re a fan of Madden it’s a must-have, even though it’s not entirely perfect.

EA's challenge is not to simplify their simulation or stop adding detail, but to integrate those features so well that players can simply marvel at how advanced the game has become. The Superstar revisions are a step in the right direction, since they allow players to focus on the entire game one player at a time, but otherwise that's just not the case.

Playing Madden NFL 07 on Xbox 360 is like playing "Madden NFL 2002" with next-gen graphics. The drive falls well short of a touchdown, even now!

If the fatigue bug had been fixed the way EA promised it would be, and the game had the same options that other versions had, I’d give the game the same score I gave last year's version: a 7. As it stands, with the lack of features, the lack of innovation with the game play and the higher price tag; I don’t feel comfortable giving this game anything higher than a 5.
