Front Page Sports football rulez all. Best playmaker ever. The triple pitch-out ownz jooz. Best classic sports game ever though:  Nothing beat drunken 6 man tourneys in to the wee hours of the night back in '94. Ok, maybe sex with girls would have beaten that back then, but the hockey was pretty fun. |

Fuck that noise, give me Blood Bowl or give me death.
GO GO ORCLAND RAIDERS! Dwarf Giants! And I have to say the Blood Bowl novels are good cheesy fun. Giant fantasy versions of Jumbotron Screens (crystal balls) rolling around the field and stands. FUN. |

First! Woot! Sloppy seconds. Thirsty thirds. Frothing fourths. Filthy fifths. Sickening sixths. I don't think my band ever came up with a term for sevenths. |

Strat guide has lots of play diagrams I can glance at during playon the crapper. At least I hope it does.
Fixed that for you. Nothing better than gaming info for throne reading, 'tis true. I haven't sullied this particular guide yet (been laid out in bed sick or playing  ), but I will have to give it some time over the weekend. Anyone play yet? The Hall of Fame Career stuff is really interesting. I can't figure out how to make it run the other plays when I am not involved quickly yet, but I BET IT IS IN THE STRATEGY GUIDE! :-D |

I scoffed too at the thought of a strategy guide for a football game but have found myself flipping through it at work. The game came with such a piss-poor manual, like 7 pages and was mostly just a button guide. I haven't played a Madden game since 97, so I don't know what all this new shit is.

They changed the play calling screen and now the person you are playing against can see exactly what play you pick. Is there some way around this or is this some ploy to force me to play my friends on Xbox Live instead of having some actual human contact?
EDIT: Figured it out: pressing X lets you pick the play you want and then A is your bluff play. Or you can press A straight away to choose that play.

Yeah, the manual for Madden is piss-poor. No joke about i being only seven pages or so. They explain, "Oh yeah, we created this new thing called superstar mode. If you wanna learn how to use it, buy the strategy guide!"
Bastards. I for one will not be giving them a cent for a strategy guide.

Anyone else having problems connecting to the EA servers? I can't seem to play online, even though my Xbox Live account is up to date and I'm logged in. I can chat with friends, play other online games, just not Madden cause I can't connect to their damn servers. Any suggestions?

Superstar mode rules. But godDAMN is it hard, and I have only been playing defensive players! I can't imagine the nightmare a rookie QB is.

I haven't tried an online game yet- my fragile ego isn't quite ready for that level of pwnage.
Also- folded this into the existing Madden thread.

It's all about online play, everything else is subpar IMO. They even took out fantasy drafts, what the hell is that shit about? That's been one of the top features for ages...

So it is safe to assume that the Xbox version won't play on 360 due to compatibility issues? Fucking bastards. |

From Jeux-France (of all places), here is a video of Madden 07 for Wii gameplay. I haven't really watched the whole thing, but there you go. Madden looks boring. |

Necro-post! Response of Madden 2007's lowest rated player, Ethan Albright. Just classic! |

I remember in Madden 01 that Tom Brady was ranked real low like that. He ended going second string that year....But then came the playoffs, and we all know what happened.
I remember Kellen Winslow being ranked ridiculously high in his rookie year as well, while Shockey was ranked a plain 80 in his rookie year.
Basketball games are even worse. I adjust this stuff the minute I buy them.

Necro-post! Response of Madden 2007's lowest rated player, Ethan Albright. Just classic! It’s also pretty wonderful that my awareness rating was 59. You make it sound like I wake up in the morning, helplessly shit and piss myself, then lose three of my teeth before I discover that I am trying to eat a rock for breakfast. Fuck, John, I understand you saying that I am slow and lacking athleticism, but a rating like this pretty much labels me as retarded. Rod “He Hate Me” Smart has a 52 in this category. Electronic Arts is saying that seven rating points separate me and the breathing embodiment of the perfect oxymoron. Rod Smart struggled to arrange words in sentence form. Cave men had better hold of the English language. The only actions that separate point values of ignorance at this embarrassing level are things like using your own toothbrush to wipe your ass. I basically edged out Rod by my lack of shit teeth. If I take a night school class, could you bump me up to a 60? Cool. But I espeicially enjoyed the comments at the bottom from people who didn't quite understand what was going on... This guys has a sence of humor, some of you that post don't. Writing something like this proves that you have self-distance. It seems to me Ethan can't wrap his arms around the fact that he suck. He talks about Red Beard and Thunder. Threatens to drop red pubes in meals. Bitch please. |

Oh wow, thank you interwebs, thank you f13, such a funny thread. Strat guides for sports games followed by that fantastic letter I'm literally holding back tears of fucking mirth right now. Bravo!

Does a football game exist that isn't full of strategic holes? I find that most of them are ok when two humans play eachother, but I can usually destroy the AI after playing for a few hours. In some cases, it's like the people designing the game know absolutely nothing about the sport of football.
If you guys could recommend a football game with decent AI, I'd be interested.

The 2K games could be pretty good with a little rule tweaking (especially for the run game).
I can't remember the last time I played Madden by myself.

The 2k Games are fantastic. Madden 2007 on the other hand... meh. It's difficulty settings are wonky. At normal difficulty, it feels like the game plays itself. At the next step up, forget completing a pass without an INT. Fiddling with sliders is the only way to make it work, and even then, they are as precise as a retard with a hammer.

The Scotsman posting in a football thread? We're winning you over, aren't we Ironwood? Soon there will be pasty, surly, barely intelligible dudes in kilts crashing into each other all over the heath and heather. You'll paint yourselves blue and cry, "Freedom!" while going into the blitz. Scotland will be the gateway for real football into Euroland, mark my words. |
