It's just madness they were able to cram so much content in these ps2 games, and we don't even have an 1/8th of this in current Madden. Their motivation was definitely much different back then before the age of connected franchises and MUT. Really they didn't have much of a choice if they didn't want the game to get boring when you're primarily playing against the CPU.
Amen to that. Just imagine how much stuff they could put into current gen consoles. And I'm not talking pointless mind-numbing crap that has nothing to do with anything or waists time. I'm talking about an in-depth career/super-star mode or a franchise mode that's thru the f'ing roof. How about online leagues? I'm talking legit top-shelf online leagues. None of this ass hat butt rock crap EA has.
@@beibsgaming Was a great team, but sadly lost one of their starting safeties to the Titans in FA, which would lead to them signing a safety that would help them in another SB.
I have 06 as well! I’ve thought about doing some kind of series with it since I have NCAA 06! I have a memory card with the actual roster names on NCAA 06 so importing the draft classes into Madden would be fun.
Steeler Nation! Yeah it does hold up today! I hope that when the new college football game comes out you can import your draft classes, but knowing EA you probably won’t lol
Last year I went out and bought all of the ncaa/madden games for the 6th grn consoles. Got them dirt cheap and have been enjoying them greatly. The 07 games were great!
I’ve done the importing your player it’s so sick I remember doing it for my NCAA07 too madden07 ncaa was just much more smooth I feel like but both great games
And the SOUNDTRACK is great. It isn't just nonsense mumble rap that most Caucasians and people over 30 don't know like today. The soundtrack for '07 was God Tier.
Madden was slightly better on the original Xbox over the ps2 due to memory storage & significantly faster load times, especially when simming through franchise.
it’s the best Madden ever. just bought a ps2 slim to play this game on franchise mode. they just need to remake this game remastered with updated rosters every year and I’d be happy
Out of the maddens I played growing up this was probably my favorite. Besides this my others I liked that I played was 2003, 2004, 10, 11 and liked 12 too. After 12 I just happened to take a break from getting football games but also seems like it was probably worked out anyways cause after 12 I think it was starting to go downhill. The recent maddens I've played the past couple years are just okay. Just not the same or as good as games made a decade or more ago which is a shame.
Glad I was able to have that game. Only reason I wasn't able to play it even years later because it got scratched up. You can do everything else except play a full game but yeah this was my childhood, Used to love playing that hall of fame career mode
Madden 07 was great. Growing up I'm played Madden 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 10, 11 and 12 because those games was really really good. In my opinion the downfall of Madden started with Madden 13. Ever since Madden NFL 13 came out, Madden has never been same since.
@beibsgaming Yeah like ever since Madden 13, it's like EA doesn't care about making a better care because all they about us money money money. Ultimate Team has clearly ruined Madden and Franchise hasn't received any update or hasn't been good since Madden 12. But everytime when me, you and other people like us that criticize the game, they don't listen to criticism at all
Agree, the best Madden i played. The franchise mode was fun to do, each time the CPU cuts their players when their contracts expire, i grab them right away to a 4+ year deal to prevent CPU from bidding on them.
@@beibsgaming Yeah! Once i see guys like Shaun Rogers or Jeff Saturday after year 1.... Gives them a 5+ year contract, then they sign it right away, rigging the entire franchise in favor of the user team.
As a Charger fan. Donnie Edwards was a cheat code. That man picked off almost every pass the AI threw over the middle. Dude was an absolute unit in this game. So don’t feel bad for any of those picks. He was cracked.
I also remember when you played this game online they gave you trophies 🏆 for things you did and you could track your stats and compare them to your friends stats. Then you could play a ranked hardcore match and it showed next to your name you was a all madden skill player
I remember them forgetting to put the quarter on the score overlay, and also they took out gang tackles this year for some reason, but still one of my favorites.
Hey what’s up man I would have to agree this madden and madden 04 are at the top of my radar, currently I’m doing some playoff classics from the 2006-07 season for Madden 07…also modded some uniforms like the New York Giants…check it out when you get the chance!
ya this was released in the off-season right after super bowl XL. it was a tough season for the Steelers, because even though they lost their locker room leader in Bettis, a lot of ppl predicted that the Steelers would be one of the NFL’s best. they were wrong. if i remember correctly ’06 was the first season they decided to open the playbook and let Ben throw the ball. i wanna say he practically doubled the amount of passing attempts p/game compared to his 1st two seasons. he threw so many INTs-more picks than TDs. hey, they still managed .500 despite the turnovers and unreal injuries. most importantly though, Roethlisberger figured out how to throw the ball in the NFL well enough to earn a gold jacket in Canton, Ohio.
Madden 08/09 had a few more features (but no Tony Bruno), and a couple features were taken out between 07 and 08. If you could combine 05-09 you'd never need to make another game.
TBH back in the 2000’s the ps2 madden games were the best basketball had nothing on madden untill 2010 in my opinion just because nba 2k10 on ps3 looked so good compared to all the basketball games made before. After that madden feel off and basketball became the goat but many of us will always remember there things. 😢😢❤😂🔥
@@beibsgaming Wait... but it's *faster*. You ever try to navigate a Madden menu since 16? (At least; I skipped 13-15) It takes a minute to move what you're highlighting, then you have to hit "A" about 4 or 5 times before it registers and goes to the load menu, then another 4-5 button presses before it registers that you hit it...
I do adore these games but I cannot stand the control layout for these old gen football games. X/A to sprint is just the worst. I usually go into pcsx2 and change the bindings to a more modern feel but I wish you could do it natively in game.
Over a month and a half madden has been out and still haven’t fixed the draft class. It’s disgusting how trash at their job they are and how they don’t care. The reason 2k has to make a game so there’s competition to actually do their job
Dude it honesty pisses me off! I’ve been waiting and waiting to start my franchise on the game, but can’t. The thing that pisses me off most is the fact that they give you one update and then you don’t hear anything further.
Honestly, the lifespan of current Maddens, for me, is about 2 months tops. I don’t mess around with UT casino shite and the rest of the year I basically play 2k5 and Madden 7.
You are right. They put the most effort into MUT because of the tons of money they make from it. As far as the rest of the game they know millions will buy it every year regardless of how bad it is so they put minimal effort into it because they know we want the new rosters.
@@beibsgaming well not necessarily. I see a lot more people getting hip to it and complaining. I know there are a lot others like myself that have stopped buying it every year. That's how we control it by not buying the new ones until they change. Myself I bought a PS2 and 360 so I could play NFL 2k5 and all pro 2k8. I have been having so much fun playing those. However I do miss playing online but we have to make the stand.
Ps2/Xbox era Madden is the GOAT
This Madden blows the new Madden out of the water.
Agreed! If madden had built off its successes from this era imagine what the game could be like now!
I will say they included a lot in this madden
I still play this game to this day. Love all the old 6th Gen console Maddens
I love the nostalgic factor!
Amen brother. Ain't no shame at all either. 100 percent better than any new gen madden
It's just madness they were able to cram so much content in these ps2 games, and we don't even have an 1/8th of this in current Madden. Their motivation was definitely much different back then before the age of connected franchises and MUT. Really they didn't have much of a choice if they didn't want the game to get boring when you're primarily playing against the CPU.
And although 2k didn’t have a game at this point Madden did have competition in the early 2000s

You should have kept rolling until you got a NFL HOF dad and a sprinter mom, but waiting for the RNG to work in your favor would take all day.
