My review (A bit incomplete for now but will most likely grow.)
Superstar mode is really really cool. You actully go through a random set of parents, until you get the desired pedigree, and go from there on to getting drafted, getting movie roles (actually interactive lol), getting tatoos, and hiring an agent. There are many more things that go on such as interviews, training camp, and individual practices (which are really neat and fun minigames). As for the rest of the game, so far I have barely scratched the surface. There are many modes on the disc that have gone un-played.
Now for actual game play. Everything is top notch. I really like the kicking system (not sure if its new or not since I have not played madden 06) but it consists or pulling the right stick back until the desired power is reached, and then flicking the stick forward. For other parts of the game, everything is relatively the same, which isn't really a bad thing at all. Another new feature that has to do with superstar mode, in superstar mode when your player is out on the feild, you only have control over THAT single character. IE, if your a quarterback, you throw the ball to the reciever, and from there your done. In superstar mode, every play you do will most likely alter your "Reputation". If you throw an interception, your rep will go down. On the other hand, if you throw a touchdown pass it will raise your reputation. Pretty cool little system IMO. Kicking onside kicks has decreased in difficulty (to me) and are way easier to pull off.
This game is basically the same madden with Enough cool new features added on to warrant a purchase. This will most likely the first game I will buy for my Xbox that is brand new and cost more than $30.00. Basically, If you liked the other one, You will love this one.
I give it a 10/10.
