Madden 07

Yeesh, and I wasn't even done with 06. This year flew by fast.

Shawn Alexander graces the cover this year, so there is no way I'm putting him on my fantasy team. There will be picture of the rookies tomorrow in their uniforms once the draft gets underway.

Isn't there a "Madden Curse" or something where something always happens to the player that gets on the Madden cover?

I don't remember who came before but last year was Donovan McNabb, and the year before was Ray Lewis.

So yeah you could definitely argue there's something weird going on there. Dunno, maybe some guy will come through the hole Hutchison would've been filling and take out Alexander's ACL

All I want out of this game is the following:

- Improved sound. Mostly crowd noise and crowd chants. NCAA had the atmosphere down. They need to do something like that. Shit like Broncos yelling INCOMPLETE and even the Eagles song after they score TDs would be killer. Maybe a few new QB voices or overall player sounds. I'm pretty confident that the EA Trax will still delever though.

- Improved graphics. 06 was a step down from 05. They need to get player models and maybe even fan models down. More Options for create-a-fan would be pretty good too. The coaches look a bit too generic, so maybe fix that. Stadiums always look appropriate for the most part.

- TAKE OUT SUPERSTAR MODE. It is just a big waste of space.

- New plays. They've always been good at improving that sort of thing, so I'm not too worried.

- New Cards stadium. It SHOULD be in there, but the early pictures have me worrying about it.

- DL uniform updates. Okay, this was availible in ESPN NBA 2K4, I don't see why EA can't do it. They put the Mavericks' gold jersey in it after the begining of the season, added different throwbacks, and fixed other uniform stuff. I don't see why this can't be in Madden. I was getting tired of seeing Seattle's home jersey in white pants when they never wore that ever.

- Create-a-team online. WISHFUL THINKING, but man that would be sick. Like we would all create our teams and stadiums and maybe even create a league and have our own drafts. But I dunno if there is a way to do that online.

Reading the interview on IGN, I'm fucking pumped about getting it on Wii when it comes out.

For example;


Quote:
When you first play it, it's completely different. When you go to hike the ball, for instance, as opposed to pressing a button you simply jerk the controller up. Boom, you snap the ball. When you want to pass the ball, you gesture a throwing motion while holding the button down to the intended receiver. When you want to stiff-arm left or right, you juke with the nunchuck controller literally. When you want to kick, you gesture the kick motion.
That sounds like it'd take some getting used to, but it sounds hottttttttt.

Also, I too hope they remove the Superstar thing from the game, lol. I didn't buy 06 but my sister's bf did and it seemed like a huge waste of time/space. That and it didn't really have any improvements over 05...

Yeah an overall better atmosphere for the game would be better. Also like better presentation, more creative stuff or something. I dunno. ESPN 2k football had a good presentation.

The sound thing definitely. It is mad shitty. Like the game doesn't feel realistic or something too. Like when I play NBA 2k6 it feels mad realistic.

Yeah like the game recaps and shit like that would be great. The presentation just makes the games you play seem that much more meaningful.

Even in the Super Bowl there is pretty much no build up in Madden. They just need to make it look more like a TV presentation. The actual game play is amazing so there is pretty much no change needed. Just the little things would make this game the best game ever. Also the crowd does indeed need to be louder.

Pretty delicious preview here: http://www.g4tv.com/e32006/features/...7_Preview.html


Doesn't really have the atmosphere I was hoping (at least from what was shown.) I dunno, superstar mode looks promising but could be a huge let down.

E3 2006: EA/ESPN Integration Update
ESPN news, radio, and the ticker.
by IGN Staff
May 11, 2006 - Behind closed doors at the EA booth, representatives are giving demonstrations on what to expect from the ESPN integration in NCAA Football 07 and NBA Live 07 on the Xbox 360.



We've already gone into detail about how NCAA Football will feature an ESPN news ticker at the bottom of the screen that you can switch between scores from real life and updates from your franchise, including everything from scores to updates on the Top 25, Heisman rankings, and more.

What we hadn't seen before is the new integration to be featured in NBA Live 07. ESPN Radio plays in the background, you have the ticker at the bottom of the screen, and you also have 40 of the top sports stories of the day, similar to what you'd find on ESPN.com. Click on the story to read all about the Spurs victory, complete with a picture from the game, then go into the your game and see if you can lead the Spurs to a title of your own.

I was told NBA Live will have even more ESPN integration that EA is not ready to talk about at this time, but all signs point to the hoops title as the game that will take the relationship to the next level.




In other words, no plans for ESPN in Madden this year. Makes sense.

June 23, 2006 - Perhaps the most popular sports videogame franchise known to man continues to ride the cutting edge of the sonic slipstream.



That's right, in keeping with the tradition of its previous incarnations, Madden NFL 07 will feature a bevy of top name and up-and-coming musicians on the in-game soundtrack. As with the previous Madden soundtracks, the latest version of the game will deftly blend rock, alternative, and rap to create an immersive aural experience.

From the rap world gamers can expect to hear tracks from Dr. Dre protégé Bishop LaMont (who first appeared in NBA Live 06 and NFL Street 2), as well as Lupe Fiasco. The alternative and rock side of things will be represented by the likes of Audioslave, Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday.

Here's the full track listing:


Madden NFL 07 In-Game Soundtrack

30 Seconds To Mars - "Battle Of One"
AFI - "Summer Shudder"
Al Fatz - "Came Down"
Anti-Flag - "This Is The End (For You My Friend)"
Atreyu - "Ex's And Oh's"
Audioslave - "Revelations" **
Bishop LaMont feat. Chevy Jones - "The Best" **
Cartel - "Say Anything (Else)"
Cord - "Go Either Way" **
Damone - "Out Here All Night"
Dashboard Confessional - "Reason To Believe"
Dynamite MC - "Bounce' **
Feezy 350 - "Playa What"
Glasses Malone - "Right Now"**
Hit The Lights - "Until We Get Caught"
Keane - "Is It Any Wonder?"
Less Than Jake - "Still Life Franchise"
Lupe Fiasco feat. Jonah Matranga - "The Instrumental"
Matchbook Romance - "Monsters"
Omnisoul - "Not Giving Up"**
Rise Against - "Drones"
Riverboat Gamblers - "On Again Off Again"
Saves The Day - "Head For The Hills"
Shorty Da Kid - "Get Loose"**
Spank Rock - "Backyard Betty"

[** Indicates song will debut in Madden NFL 07 before being released to retail]

I couldn't find any new pics, and I'm pretty sure I don't really care. NCAA looks way more interesting. Still going to get it though.

LOL Anti-Flag on a Madden game? I love when those "hardcore underground punk, fuck authority and big-name corporations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" bands appear on pretty much the biggest most popular sports game alive.



That being said, I still like their music.
