Well its time to load up your grills and coolers and head on out to the fields to tail gate and watch the pig skin fly through the air. That right football is among us all! Madden 07 will be the second Madden NFL game to come out for the 360. Madden 06 was a launch title for the 360 and in my mind was a big bust. So will 07 pick up where they left off, and score a touchdown in your heart or will fall short, like its predecessor. The game will cost you as much as a ticket to a game seating you back $60. Here are the features for the 360 as well as the PS 2. So go ahead and compare them and let us know which ver. sounds better to you.

Key Features for the Xbox 360

Lead Block Through the Lanes - For the first time ever, control the lead blocker on running plays. Throw the perfect block to create a running lane, then take control of the tailback and rip off the big gain.

The Season Begins in Mini-Camp - Create a player then build up his attributes by running him through skill-based, combine-type mini-games. In the off-season, use Mini-Camp games and drills to condition players or to rehab injured players to get them back on the field faster.

Madden Gamer Level - Track your career accomplishments in Franchise Mode to earn Madden Gamer Points, and then wager your rewards against the computer or live online opponents to reach the ultimate reward - the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

All-New Running Moves - Use the all-new Highlight Stick to evade defenders with new jukes, cutbacks, and power moves. Smaller backs escape and break tackles, while bigger runners bowl over defenders in the open field.

Run Like the Players Run - All-new running styles match those of your favorite NFL running backs.

Replay Challenge - Throw the red flag and challenge any play. Overturned calls or plays “that stand” play a huge effect on the outcome of every game.

Key Features for the PS 2

Lead Block Through the Lanes - For the first time ever, control the lead blocker on running plays. Throw the perfect block to create a running lane, then take control of the tailback and rip off the big gain.

Team-Specific Defensive Playbooks - For the first time, use actual plays from your favorite team’s defensive playbook to shut down the running game, pressure the quarterback, or force key turnovers.
