This game is a total letdown. For one, it doesnt have all the features Madden 07 has. You cant call for the ball, so in superstar you can go totally unnoticed. It is so hard to throw the ball. You dont have good reactions, you see a guy open, and then once you throw the ball he is covered and they intercept your pass. When you are outside the pocket, you passes have no accuracy. It is hard to tell what button your receiver is. And the open or covered meter just takes away some of the skill you need, making it too easy, even though the position is supposed to be a challenge. The graphics are horrible. One of the most aggravating points is the challenge feature. This is a game, it should just call it right the first time. Only a supercomputer can tell, and some are so obvious. And when you look at the Instant Replay, then you cant challenge. And defense is a big flaw. The catch and swat motions are so similiar. So many picks missed. And all play makes it easier to catch, but you will see a WR wide open, and the game will throw it to another, leading to more picks. You cant make your playbook, which I hate. Madden has never been the best football game fundamentally, but it has normally had the best features. It was so much fun to make your own team, and then to make a playbook for it. The closest you can get to a playbook is Call Your shots, but in multiplayer, it just tells your opponent what you are going to do. EA Sports is really lucky there are no other good football games, or i would never play this game. Its funner to play NFL Rush 2003 (which I dont have), and im not as good as my friends. You cant tuck it in, which every other company does, EXCEPT Madden. Save your money for something more worthwile, like burning it, shredding it, or eating it. This game will only bring you aggravation
