At a quick glance, this year's Madden looks the next-gen part: impressive lighting effects, detailed players, fluid animations. But, like the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving. The more time I spent with 07, the more I realized that someone forgot to teach it some football fundamentals: The secondary doesn't always respond fast enough to swat commands, lead blockers will occasionally run past defenders to lay a pointless hit downfield, and shoddy blocking schemes can't adjust to unexpected defensive fronts (which translates into too many QBhungry blitzers). That's not to say I'm totally down on this otherwise solid gridiron sim, but my tolerance for these kinds of mistakes is really being tested.
