Reading on 1 site, there is still no fantasy drafts in 2007 for the 360 and that the blocking isn't great. Graphics and Frame Rate are supposedly excellent but some of the player animation is choppy.

Competition is good.

[censored] a monopoly, [censored] EA.

I am boycotting this, and all future NFL games until there is no longer a monopoly.

I tried to post a thread on Friday, but I've had my Xbox version since then.

I'm getting my Ps2 version tonight.

If anyone wants to play online, send me a message.

About to pick mine up. For 360

Not really.

It's very similar to last year, but it is a new game upon itself.

There is the new blocking feature which allows you to set up your blocks.

It is also key to run the damn ball.

After playing here are my first thoughts.

1. The lead blocking mode is really cool and suprisingly fun.

2. No Fantasy Draft is really stupid, I'm very angry about this.

3. The minigames are really fun. The 40m dash is so addictive you have no idea how badly I want to become good at this.

4. Superstar Mode seems really cool, but my player won't become good untill I learn how to do well in the minigames.

5. I really like the addition of historic players.

The review on IGN has the 360 version of Madden better than any other version. I guess it's not perfect yet but a definite great sign in the right direction.

That could just be because of different reviewers.

Probably going to pick up the Xbox version of this today. Is it going to sell out? I have never celebrated Maddenoliday before.
