Review by The Executioner

""And this is his story...""

"You can read a fine line from a win, but you can read a book from a loss"

Graphics: 7
The graphics of this game is still the same like Madden 06 or Madden 2005. Not much improvement but it still good to play football. Your office will look awsome for the first hour of your playing but after that, you will get bored of it. One of the things that makes me happy is the view "First person coach" mode. In this mode you will see what coach sees on the field, sort of like NFL 2K5. At the begining of your carrer mode, you get to choose what you as a coach look like, all muscle or all fat. The ESPN are horrible, not even close to NFL 2K5.

Sound: 9
The sounds are awsome. So far, I haven't get bored of them. The sound during a game are also awsome. The crowd cheering and booing sound realistic. You can also pick a voice for your own coach and its awsome hearing him yelling on the sidelines. You can hear hard hitting tackles and players catching or throwing the football.

Controls: 9
The quick NAV buttons are awsome and really easy to use. They will help you a lot during office hours or during game day because you need to be able to manage time. During the game, all you can do is press the button X to hike the ball.

Gameplay: 9
So far this game is just realistic like what NFL coaches have to go through everyday. I enjoy this game but most of the time you spend your time playing managing office instead of playing football. Hey, its just like what NFL coach do right? Sometimes you will be happy and say YESSSS out loud because your time do really good or most of the time you will be frustrated because your team wont do it right. You motivated them and you give them strategy. You earn their trust and your assistance's trust.

Rent or Buy? Its up to you.
- Rent if you like Madden 100% and you dont know what a Quarterback is. Most people dont like this game and decided to rent this game because they dont really know football even though they bragged how good a player they are.
- Buy if you are 100% football fan and would die for football. You will experience what a coach feels like, so you will think twice if you yell at your favorite team's coach if he make mistakes.
