Introduction
================================================================================
Welcome to my first football FAQ! I hope it goes a little more smoothly
than my (incomplete) baseball FAQ. :)
Shortly after producing this FAQ, I got rid of my copy of Madden NFL 07,
but I'm still getting a ton of emails. Because I don't have the game to go
back to, I am no longer answering questions. I apologize for this, but I've
included a lot of info in this FAQ, and you should be able to use the
message board on GameFAQs and other sites for getting help with this game
and others.

about this game (read the Introduction section).

================================================================================
Game Modes (00002)
================================================================================
Madden 2007 has more than just one or two different game modes. Below you
will find a brief description as to what you can expect to find while in
that part of the game.
PLAY NOW
Challenge either the CPU or a friend to a game of football. This
obviously isn't a season game or anything like that - it's an
exhibition game. You get the option to choose teams, stadiums,
uniforms, etc. This is also a great way to introduce yourself into
the basics of the Madden game series.
PLAY ONLINE
With certain versions of the game, you can play online against
friends or even people you've never met before. Depending on the
game system you're using, you may need to buy additional hardware,
so be sure to consult your user manual when attempting to use this
game mode.
FRANCHISE
This is one of the older and most popular game modes in the Madden
series, and most games aren't viewed complete without this mode.
Build your dream team for up to 30 seasons. You can change coaches
and draft players just like the General Managers do in real life.
NFL SUPERSTAR: HALL OF FAME
In the Superstar mode, you create a player and take him from the NFL
Draft and hope that he makes it into the prestigious NFL Hall of Fame.
You take tests, do interviews, go to practices, get endorsement deals,
and of course play football.
NFL NETWORK
Sterling Sharpe walks you through three select plays on both offense
and defense for each team. After he describes the play to you, you
can practice the play against your team's defense for as long as you
wish.
TOURNAMENT
Set up your own tournament with 8 or 16 teams and see who comes out
the winner.
MINI-CAMP
Tour NFL cities in the Madden cruiser and fine-tune your playing
skills in the Mini-Camp mode. You can also earn trophies along
the way in various drills for Madden Cards.
RUNNING ATTACK
Select two teams to test the ability to run the ball and then defend
against the run. On offense, you'll use the main running back, and
on defense, you'll control one of the linebackers.
TWO MINUTE DRILL
Earn valuable points and Madden Cards, while working on your skills
at the same time.
PRACTICE
Work on your playing skills in practice. This allows you to better
familiarize yourself with your team's playbook and players.
================================================================================
Player Positions (00003)
================================================================================
There are a number of positions for players to play at. If you aren't at
all familiar with football, this section will give you a much better idea
of who does what on the field. However, if you're familiar with the sport,
you can skip right on past this, of course.
OFFENSE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Quarterback (QB) - The quarterback is perhaps the single most important
offensive player on the team. He touches the football on nearly every
play. If it's a passing play, he passes it; if it's a running play, he
hands the ball off to whoever is running it.
Running Back (RB)/Tail Back (TB) - Don't be confused if you hear someone
mention tail back or running back, because they're the same position. In
professional, you'll usually hear running back, and in college, you'll
usually hear tail back, but it really doesn't matter. (I usually refer
to the position as running back)
The running back is responsible for running the ball down the field, once
he is handed the ball from the quarterback. Depending on the play called,
he may be expected to block defenders from tackling the quarterback, and
he also runs short passing routes when called upon.
Fullback (FB) - Fullbacks are typically larger than running backs - 20-30
pounds heavier in fact. They are mostly used for blocking, leading the
way for a running back. The fullback also has the speed to be used for
rushing and receiving, like the Running back.
Wide Receiver (WR) - The wide receiver is the primary passing target for
the quarterback. They're often tall and very fast, capable of out-jumping
and out-running the defenders.
Tight End (TE) - Often a blocker, the tight end is also used for receiving.
He typically has a size advantage over defenders, and is sometimes
taller than their wide receiver counterparts. The passes they catch
are often over the middle of the field, just beyond the first down mark.
Center (C) - Centers give the ball to the quarterback and punters to start
the play. Often very large in size, centers are also responsible for
keeping the defenders from getting at the quarterback.
Guard (G) - Guards flank the center and are responsible for blocking
against defenders, but they also have to try to open holes in the line to
allow the running back or fullback through to run the ball.
Offensive Tackle (OT) - Tackles flank the guard and are also responsible
for blocking against defenders. They're job is very much the same that
of the guards.
DEFENSE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Defensive Tackle (DT) - They are in the middle of the defensive line, and
they're trying to either tackle the running back or fullback who is
running through the line, or they're trying to rush the quarterback.
Defensive End (DE) - The ends flank the defensive tackles, and their
jobs are very much the same.
Middle Linebacker (MLB) - Middle linebackers are large and agile. They
typically tackle the runs up through the middle and any short passes up
the middle.
Outside Linebacker (OLB) - Often smaller and faster than their middle
linebacker counterparts, they must protect from short passes to the outside,
but also protect from the outside runs.
Cornerback (CB) - Cornerbacks have to cover the wide receivers, so they
are very quick and agile.
Free Safety (FS) - These guys have great acceleration since they're free
to do almost anything they want to do. They are free to cover wide
receivers or even go after (blitz) the quarterback.
Strong Safety (SS) - Strong safeties are resposible for tackling wide
receivers and tight ends. They're quick and very strong because of this.
SPECIAL TEAMS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Kicker (K) - Kickers are responsible for kick offs and field goals. They
are often the smallest of the players.
Punter (P) - Punters are responsible for punting on fourth down.
================================================================================
Defense (00004)
================================================================================
There is often a great deal of emphasis put on offense, but I believe a
defense is equally as important. Offense may win games, but defense wins
championships, or so the saying goes.
For a defense to be successful, you don't necessarily have to stop the other
team on each and every play, just stop them from scoring. This is a much
more realistic goal, afterall. When it comes to offense versus defense, I
actually prefer to play defense. I know most are the other way around,
enjoying racking up the yards on offense, but I enjoy shutting down my
opponent's offense.
Below, you'll find a brief description of each of the general defensive
formations, which includes the advantages and disadvantages of using the
particular formation.
4-3
¯¯¯
The 4-3 defense is likely the most commonly used defense formations. It
involves four lineman, three linebackers, two cornerbacks, one free
safety, and one strong safety. This is a great overall formation, but
is best for defending against the run. If you're forced to defend an
offense using three or four wide receivers, I'd recommend selecting a
different formation.
3-4
¯¯¯
The 3-4 defense is much like that of the 4-3 formation, and also very
popular. It involves three lineman, four linebackers, two cornerbacks,
one strong safety, and one free safety. With the additional linebacker,
you will be able to better defend the short pass and the outside runs,
compared to the 4-3.
46
¯¯
The 46 defense is much like that of the 4-3 formation, but not very popular
in today's game. It involves four lineman, three linebackers, two
cornerbacks, one strong safety, and one free safety. This defensive
formation is good for run stopping, as one of those safeties will be close
to the line of scrimmage, providing speed. With that speed, you will also
be able to blitz, providing pressure on the quarterback. If the quarterback
is able to find a wide receiver open deep down the field, you will find
yourself in some trouble.
Nickel
¯¯¯¯¯¯
The Nickel defense typically involves four lineman, two linebackers, and
five defensive backs. With the additional defensive backs, you'll be able
to provide a better defense against a passing offensive situation. This
defense is susceptable to a run, so make sure the offense will be passing.
Dime
¯¯¯¯
The Dime defense typically involves four lineman, one linebacker, and
six defensive backs. With the additional defensive backs, you'll be able
to provide a better defense against a passing offensive situation. This
defense is susceptable to a run, so make sure the offense will be passing.
Quarters
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The Quarters defense typically involves three lineman, one linebacker, and
seven defensive backs. With the additional defensive backs, you'll be able
to provide a better defense against a passing offensive situation. This
defense is susceptable to a run, so make sure the offense will be passing.
Goal Line
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The Goal Line defense involves several linemen and linebackers and a couple
of defensive backs. This formation should really only be used when your
opponent's offense is in a short yardage situation and running the ball.
Although you are given defensive backs, you may be in a world of hurt if
your opponent decides to pass the ball. There's always a chance they could
do a play-action pass for short yardage, so be careful. Make sure you have
your audibles set so that you can quickly find a good pass defense if you
notice something odd at the line.
================================================================================
Offense (00005)
================================================================================
The bulk of the points you will score will obviously be on offense. A
balanced offense is required to effectively move the ball down the field.
The best advice I can give someone is to vary your offense. Don't call
the same play over and over; the defense will learn what you're doing and
shut your play down. The same play calls aren't the only thing you need to
vary; you have to vary what type of play... run vs pass. Mix it up often,
and don't be afraid to use the occasional play-action pass. This is a great
way to confuse the defense, getting a linebacker or two to bite on the
possible run, while the quarterback drops back for a pass.
If you're not happy with the playbook your team is given by default, choose
another. Some team playbooks are very balanced, while others may favor
either the pass or run a bit more. You can also create your own playbook,
which will offer you a lot of input into your own playbook.
TIP: If you're running low on time, hold the L2 or R2 button after you
call your play. This will actually stop the clock until you
release the buttons. It will allow your players to get to the line
of scrimmage without any time on the clock expiring. It's
kind of a cheat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running The Ball (00006)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When running the ball, you will require a hole in the line. If you don't
see one, try to get to the outside as quickly as possible, as it's only
a matter of time until the defense ends up in the backfield, taking you down
for a loss. If you are able to find a hole, get right up in there and hit
the sprint button, along with the appropriate juke button should you need
to get around a defender. If you're lucky enough to have a fullback blocking
ahead of you, don't be afraid to follow him to one side or the other. Some
of my biggest runs are because of my fullback knocking defenders down on
their butts, allowing me to sprint right on by, picking up several yards
and the ever important first down.
Going around defenders isn't your only option when running the ball, of
course. In Madden 2006, we were given the Truck Stick. It was very much
like the Hit Stick for the defensive side of the ball. When the runner
(running back, wide receiver, etc), you can use the Truck Stick to knock
the defender down, shedding the tackle. It doesn't always work, which is
why I prefer to try and avoid the tackler with a well-timed spin move, juke,
stiff-arm, or just have a blocker take him out for me. One disadvantage
of using the Truck Stick, also known as the Highlight Stick, is it increases
the odds of you fumbling the ball. If your running back is smaller and
more ellusive than say a larger back, like Jerome Bettis, when you hit the
Highlight Stick, your smaller, more ellusive back will try to evade the
tackler by ducking the tackler and doing other cool moves.
If you are trying to run the ball to one side of the field, but have noticed
that the defense has stacked that side of the field, you have three options.
You can change the direction of the play, you can audible an entirely new
play, or you can send your tight end in motion so that he blocks on the
other side of the field, allowing you to still run there.
A common mistake rookies make when running the ball is instantly hitting
the speed burst button. Lay off of it until your blockers do their job.
Going too fast too soon may result in you either running into your own
lineman or you may even end up running right into the man your blocker
was supposed to block, but you were in too much of a hurry to let him do
his job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passing The Ball (00007)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you call your play and are approaching the line of scrimmage, take a
look at your defense. What formation are they using? Are they in 4-3 or
are they in Nickel or Dime and expecting a pass. With Nickel or Dime, their
defense will have more defensive backs, which means you'll have a more
difficult time passing the ball. You could consider changing the play or
perhaps using the playmaker option to have one of your wide receivers run
a quick curl or something else short.
When it comes to actually throwing the ball, make sure your quarterback's
feet are planted. If he is on the run, his passes will likely be inaccurate,
resulting in either incomplete passes and even interceptions. A bullet pass
thrown on the run is also likely going to be incomplete. Throwing on the run
can be dangerous, so if you are in a situation where you have to throw while
running, try to lob the ball a little. The odds are a lob will allow the
receiver to get where he needs to be to catch the ball and not result in an
interception or incomplete pass.
If you have a wide receiver or tight end that you can send in motion, give
it a shot. You may be able to interpret what sort of defense your opponent
is currently running (aside from the obvious formation), and the motion man
may end up causing a little confusion with the defense.
================================================================================
Special Teams (00008)
================================================================================
You're not going to be able to score a touchdown every time you have the
ball. On these occasions, you'll likely have to either punt the ball or
kick a field goal, depending on where you are on the field. If you're in
field goal range on third down, but are on the far left or right of the
field, you may wish to use that third down for a run or short pass to
the middle of the field. This will allow for an easier field goal kick.
If you're to the extreme left or right on the field, you will have to
adjust your kicker's aim. Obviously with this situation, there's a chance
that you could kick the ball too far to the right or left of the field goal
posts. For this reason, it's easier to kick from the center of the field,
especially when the wind can become an issue during an angled kick.
If you're in a punting situation, kick the ball fairly hard. If the line
of scrimmage is in your opponent's territory, you may want to try a shorter,
angled punt. Aim for the pylons near the end zone and try to get the ball
out of bounds within the five yard line. If you end up kicking it in the
endzone, the opponent will get the ball at the 20-yard line, so try to
make them start as far back as you can on offense.
On punt and kick-off returns, there's really not much to talk about... much
like the other subjects of special teams, lol. Anyway, try to watch for
where your blockers are and try to find a hole to run through. Jukes and
spins can help you elude tacklers and gain extra yards.
================================================================================
Team Profiles (00009)
================================================================================
Below you'll find complete profiles for the teams available to you in the
game, which includes a full roster. The figures are actually from the XBox
360 version and are from VG Sports' website. Several sites posted this
information just before the game was released, such as IGN and GameSpot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona Cardinals (00010)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadium: Cardinals Stadium (2006-)
2005 Record: 5-11
Head Coach: Dennis Green
Division: NFC West
Overall Rating: 87
Offense Rating: 88
Defense Rating: 85
The 2006 Cardinals have made some big changes recently. They've got a brand
new stadium, a great new backup quarterback in Matt Leinert and a new starting
running back in Edgerrin James. Arizona certainly has the potential for a
big turnaround. Despite having one of the league's top running backs, the
success of their running game will depend on its mediocre offensive line.

Overall Rating: 89
Offense Rating: 88

The 2006 Falcons have made two note-worthy acquisitions. The additions of
John Abraham from the New York Jets and Lawyer Milloy from the Buffalo Bills
will provide the Falcons with a better defense. The Falcons have one of the
better running schemes in the league, and with the light-footed Michael Vick
a constant threat at quarterback, the Falcons look to continue with a strong
running game. There are a lot of questions surrounding All-Pro tight end
Alge Crumpler, who has had shoulder surgery recently, and his abilities have
been questioned. As long as he's healthy, Crumpler will be a big target for
Michael Vick to find.

Head Coach: Brian Billick
Division: AFC North
Overall Rating: 89

The Ravens signed veteran quarterback Steve McNair in the offseason. McNair
should provide the Ravens the quality quarterback they've been looking for.
Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton should rack up even more yards than they did
last season at the wide receiver position. Also, with Jamal Lewis at
running back, the Ravens have a fairly solid offense. Their defense, anchored
by linebacker Ray Lewis, is still great. If there is one obvious problem
with the team, it's the offensive line. McNair may have a good arm and be
fast on his feet, but he'll likely get a lot of pressure from the defense.

A lot of eyes will be on J.P. Losman to see if he will be the Bills' QB
of the future. Many have doubts, including me. None of the Bills' QBs
have very good ratings, fairly mediocre actually. If the Bills cannot
get a passing game going, a lot of pressure will be placed on Willis
McGahee, their running back. Despite his talent, McGahee will likely face a
4-3 or 4-4 a lot if the Bills don't pose a threat in their passing game.

The Panthers did very well last year. Steve Smith served as a go-to receiver
for Jake Delhomme and wowed crowds with long passes, racking up over 1500
yards. With the acquisition of wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, the Panthers
are looking to put on another aerial assault.

The Bears are a one-sided team. Their defense is incredible, while their
offense is deplorable. They have several good players on offense, but
none of them are superstars and don't especially stand out. If you're going
to have success with the Bears, it'll be with a mediocre offense and a
stellar defense.

The Bengals have one of the top offenses in the league. The three top
offensive threats include Carson Palmer, Rudi Johnson, and Chad Johnson, a
trio which reminds me of Dallas' championship team from the 1990s with Troy
Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin at the same positions.

You'll find some decent defensive players, but the Browns are lacking some
power on offense. Reuben Droughns is a tough running back, but the Browns
don't have much of a passing game. Charlie Frye saw limited action last
year, but he's young and has potential.

Without a doubt the biggest change on the team is at wide receiver.
Keyshawn Johnson was released by Dallas, who later signed Terrell Owens.
There really isn't much else as far as major changes are concerned. The
defense is average, but will improve as they get used to the 3-4.

Overall Rating: 89

To combat a salary cap problem, the Broncos had to release their leading
running back, Mike Anderson. The Broncos should be just fine, as Tatum Bell
and Ron Dayne both looked good last year. Jake Plummer continues to improve
at the quarterback position and should be able to put up some great numbers
again. The strength of their defense comes from their linebackers and
defensive backs.

The Lions have had a poor team for years, and there are no signs of great
improvement. The quarterback position has two average quarterbacks looking
for the starting position, with neither of them likely to be a huge star.
Kevin Jones should have a better year at running the ball, as the Lions have
a better offensive line than they did a few years ago. The defense is held
together by Pro Bowl tackle Shaun Rogers.

Everyone was curious about whether or not QB Brett Favre would return for
another season, and when he announced he'd return, many were surprised with
his decision. Last year was his worst, posting terrible numbers. Although
the Packers don't have any stars at the running back position, they have
three good backs. Their offense lives and dies because of their offensive
line, which has been very poor at providing Favre with some time to find open
receivers.

talented players. Eric Moulds (WR), Mario Williams (DE), and Mike Flanagan
(C) all stand out in my eyes.

Stadium: RCA Dome (1984-)
2005 Record: 14-2
Head Coach: Tony Dungy
Division: AFC South
Overall Rating: 91
Offense Rating: 91
Defense Rating: 87
The Colts did a phenomenal job last year, nearly going undefeated in the
regular season. Edgerrin James was a huge loss to the offense of the Colts,
but they picked up Joseph Addai in the draft to help counter that loss.
Peyton Manning is still one of the top QBs in the league and has great
targets at wide receiver. On defense, the Colts were one of the best last
year. If you're looking to add a top defender, I'd look at the secondary.

Byron Leftwich and Fred Taylor are both solid in their position, but the
offense could use a big receiver. Jimmy Smith's retirement was a big blow
to their passing game. On defense, the Jaguars are among the best. They
are solid at each position.

best offensive lines in the league, making them a great team to choose.

The Dolphins added a great quarterback to their roster. Daunte Culpepper
is the best Dolphins quarterback since Dan Marino, and should help the team
improve quite a bit. Fred Beasley is one of the league's top fullbacks,
and should help block for running back, Ronnie Brown. The team could really
use some help in the secondary.

Overall Rating: 86

With Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss gone from the Vikings, the organization
stepped up and made some changes to the team to help bolster some of their
positions. Brad Johnson will be starting now at quarterback. Running
Back Chester Taylor and Fullback Tony Richardson should come together to form
a solid rushing threat. The receiving core, however, still needs some work.
On defense, tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams lead an effective unit.
At free safety, veteran Darren Sharper is phenomenal.

Tom Brady is healthy this year and should perform much better than last year.
Corey Dillon is backed up with Laurence Maroney at the running back position.
Both are very solid players, and should give Tom Brady's arm a break.
Despite losing Willie McGinest, the Patriots still have a solid linebacker
core.

The Saints got an upgrade on their offense this year. Acquiring Drew Brees
and Reggie Bush should excite the Saints fans this year. Although Bush won't
start, he will provide solid backup for Deuce McAllister. With Brees at
the helm, Joe Horn and Donte Stallworth should see more passes than ever.
As for their defense, the Saints are rebuilding after some losses.

Chad Pennington, despite having good ratings in the game, lacks a great
core of receivers. The only big target for him is Laveranues Coles.
Fortunately, they have a solid running back in Curtis Martin. Shaun Ellis
and Jonathan Vilma trying to hold together their defense.

The Oakland Raiders acquired Aaron Brooks at quarterback in the offseason.
The Raiders are hoping he can provide them with an offensive spark, but I
honestly doubt he's the answer to their quarterback problem. LaMont Jordan
should provide the Raiders with a rushing attack as long as the offensive
line can come together and actually block and open up holes this year.
The Raiders really lost this year when it comes to their secondary. If
you plan on taking control of Oakland, I'd recommend trading for some help
in this area.

Overall Rating: 89

Without Terrell Owens in the receiver position anymore, the Eagles are now
lacking a quality receiver. The group they have are fairly average, with
no real standouts. Brian Westbrook should provide the Eagles with a solid
running attack as long as the offensive line stays healthy. The Eagles
defense is packed with a lot of talent.

The defending Super Bowl Champion Steelers suffered a shock in the offseason
when star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was involved in a motorcycle crash.
Fortunately, everything seems to be fine with him, as he tries to take the
Steelers back to the Super Bowl. By the looks of it, you shouldn't have too
much trouble leading Pittsburgh. They're pretty solid on both sides of the
ball.

With Drew Brees out, Philip Rivers is the new starting quarterback. There's
no telling how things will turn out for them in the passing game, but Rivers
will certainly have two great targets to throw to in Antonio Gates and Keenan
McCardell. Also, running back LaDainian Tomlinson is looking for another
great season. The Chargers spent a lot of draft picks trying to insure this
would happen, drafting a number of offensive lineman. On defense, the
Chargers have plenty of talent on the defensive line and in the linebackers
core, but they don't have a sound secondary. It looks like they'll have
trouble defending the pass unless you can bring in some new talent.

Wow, one of, if not the worst team in the NFL last year. You can have some
success with this team if you're able to bring in some new blood. They went
out and got Larry Allen from Dallas to bolster their offensive line. The
49ers aren't the potent team they used to be...

Seattle was the highest scoring offense in the league last year. Can they
do it again? It certainly looks like a possibility with talent like Matt
Hasselbeck at quarterback, Shaun Alexander at running back, and a fairly
solid group of receivers. This is really one of the most solid teams in
the league. It's quite likely they'll be back in the Super Bowl this year.

Stadium: Edward Jones Dome (1995-)
2005 Record: 6-10
Head Coach: Scott Linehan
Division: NFC West
Overall Rating: 87
Offense Rating: 89
Defense Rating: 84
Don't let their real world record fool you. They've got a solid group of
people on offense. With Marc Bulger returning, the Rams could have a solid
year on offense. They've got three good runningbacks and a pair of top
receivers in Terry Holt and Isaac Bruce. Their secondary could certainly
use some work, however. That would be the first place to upgrade.

The Bucs are back with their phenomenal defense. Jon Gruden may have a lot
of confidence in Chris Simms as a starting quarterback, but I'd bring
someone else in if I could. Their offense isn't great, frankly, but it'll
get the job done.

Overall Rating: 85
Offense Rating: 85
Defense Rating: 86
The Titans are a very young team, and will not likely be a surprising team
this year either. Steve McNair is out and Billy Volek is in, with rookie
Vince Young in as backup at quarterback. Many Madden players will be
switching this, of course, as Young is a huge threat on the run, like Michael
Vick. As long as the backfield can remain healthy, the Titans should have a
more reliable running game. On defense, Keith Bulluck is the leader, but
he's pretty much alone in greatness.

Division: NFC East
Overall Rating: 89

If the Redskins are to be more successful, Mark Brunell will have to step up
and remain healthy this year. Clinton Portis is as good as gold in the
backfield. The Redskins have several people to throw to, including Clinton
Portis, who took in his fair share of receptions. On the other side of
the ball, the defense looks very solid. They have several players with an
overall rating of 90 or highter and should be able to prevent too many TDs.

================================================================================
Franchise Mode (00042)
================================================================================
Franchise mode allows you to be the coach and general manager for one
of the NFL teams. I've not played this enough for this year to offer
any advice yet, so check back in this section later.
When you begin your Franchise, you must first choose from a few options,
such as the number of players and which team you want to use.
One of these options is whether or not you want to use the Fantasy
Draft option. If you choose "yes", you will start with a blank roster,
and you'll have to draft your roster from all of the talent in the NFL.
In Madden NFL 07, the Fantasy Draft has been a big disappointment in
the eyes of many gamers. The first two rounds are nothing but QBs and
HBs, selected on their overall rating only. The CPU doesn't take into
account the player's age and career potential.
After you begin your franchise, you will be greeted with a simple menu,
offering details on your team. The first menu is for Training Camp.
Remember those mini-camp drills in other areas of the game? Well, you
have access to them again in this mode. Each drill will allow you to
take one player and run him through the drill to improve his attributes.
Once that player has been used in a drill, he's not eligible to be
used in another drill.
After you've done your drills, you can either proceed to the Pre-Season
or you can do a little roster management. You can sign free agents
and trade players with other teams.
Pre-Season
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Pre-Season is very similar to the regular season portion of the game.
The primary difference is the emphasis on getting your backups some
playing time. This is why your starters won't play the entire game.
In the Pre-Season, you play four exhibition games. A great Pre-
Season may net you some attribute bonuses.
Regular Season
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is what the bulk of this mode is all about. Play your sixteen
games with hopes of making it to the playoffs and into the Super Bowl.
Not only will you be able to trade players, sign free agents, and
play the games, but you will be able to make adjustments to how much
tickets, merchandise, parking, etc costs. This has an impact on how much
money your team will bring in for the year. With more money, you may
be able to get a better player or two and even upgrade your team's
stadium, thus bringing in more fans and in turn more revenue.
The owner's box has an advisors panel, which I recommend consulting
every now and again. If you're doing everything well, you shouldn't
need to use this feature, but it can be handy if you're looking for a
little advice when it comes to pricing, for instance.
Most of this mode is very self-explanatory in my opinion. I find that
there's very little strategy needed that doesn't come naturally. Things
are pretty easy to find. You can check your player's stats and check out
your rosters. You also have an Inbox for emails from coaches and players
with updates.
Off-Season
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is actually my favorite portion of the Franchise mode. While I
enjoy playing the actual games, I enjoy looking for up and coming talent
from college and getting them on my team.
Before you look for more talent, check out your staff. There's a chance
you may need to hire someone. Coach contracts don't usually last very
long (two years is my average), so it's a frequent thing to check every
year. Go into "Staffing" and see if someone needs to be hired. There is
a "Team Needs" portion on the screen. A coach position lit up in red
is one which needs to be filled.
HC = Head Coach
OC = Offensive Coordinator
DC = Defensive Coordinator
ST = Special Teams Coach
Use the attributes boxes to help you determine the best coach for the
position. It's fairly self-explanatory.
Now that the off-season is here, let's take a look at our stadium.
From the main menu, go to "Stadium". You have the opportunity to
do everything from upgrading seating to renaming the stadium. If you're
happy with everything, let it alone and leave. Otherwise, upgrade
something if you can afford it. You may have a lot of players that
need re-signing, so keep that into account.
Stadium Upgrades
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Cost Maintenance Costs
EA Arcade $2 Million $500K
Cup Holders $2 Million $50K
Internet Cafe $2.10 Million $100K
Gourmet Chefs for Lux Boxes $2.40 Million $500K
Retractable Glass Windows $6 Million $1 Million
Medical Facility $8 Million $2 Million
English Pub $8 Million $1.5 Million
High Fidelity Audio System $9 Million $500K
Super Screen $10 Million $1 Million
Personal Audio Systems $12 Million $2 Million
Massage Seats $15 Million $3 Million
If there's nothing else you fee like tinkering with, go to the "Off-
Season Schedule" option and let's begin working on next year's team.
The Off-Season Schedule is as follows:
01) Retired Players
02) Roster Management
03) Restricted Free Agents
04) Re-Sign Players
05) Free Agent Signing
06) The Draft
07) Roster Management
08) Sign Draft Picks
09) Free Agent Signing
10) Re-Order Depth Charts
11) Start New Season
Up first is retirements. Players usually retire because they're getting
old and are looking to move on for some reason. There are of course
young players who get hit with career ending injuries, so there may be
a surprise or two in the list of retirements. However, most of those
who retire will have been in the league for ten seasons or better.
Once you're through viewing the retirements, hit the START button and
the CPU will assign new roles to the players. These roles are things
like NFL Icon, 1st Round Pick, etc. You've seen these roles before
in the game. This is when those get assigned.
Next, you'll be given the opportunity to release some players from
your roster. If you want to release them, go ahead and hit the X button.
Otherwise, hit the START button to advance past this part.
Next, you have the opportunity to go after restricted free agents.
Your team may have some that you want to keep, so try to resign them.
Another team may have a player you're looking for, so make an offer
to get him. You may just end up picking up a great player.
You can now re-sign players whose contracts have expired. You've
got the first crack at re-signing them, so re-sign those you want
and the others are cut. You only need to re-sign those whose contract
years remaining says 0. If you find a player whose contract is expiring
a year from now, you can negotiate a price and perhaps get more years
per dollar for him. It's quite easy to become attached to a player
who has played for your team for say twelve years, but sometimes you
need to cut them or trade them. After a while, they may not perform
as well as they once did or they're looking for a contract bigger than
what you're prepared to offer. When you're done, hit the START button
and the CPU will cut those players who weren't re-signed.
Now, you can begin signing free agents. These are players who no longer
are under contract with other teams and are for the highest bidder, so to
speak. Be sure to frequently check your "Breakdown" page in the game.
This will tell you how many players at each position you have and you
need to have. It's better to have an extra player at some positions in
case of injuries. Free agency is a great opportunity to pick up on some
excellent talent for your next season. After you make your offers,
hit the START button and choose to advance a few days and see if you
can pick up the players you targeted. You will be outbid on occasion,
so if it's a must-have player, offer him a nice contract before someone
snags him first.
TIP: When looking for players, don't look just at his overall
rating. Depending on the position, consider things like
speed, catching, throwing accuracy, kicking strength, etc.
Next up is the Draft. In 07, you have three options. You can play
the draft class in a "College All-Star Game" to see how they all feel
in an actual game. You can get right to the Rookie Workouts and see
what they can do. Finally, you can get right to the actual draft and
get your team its players. For me, I go right to the Rookie Workouts.
Instead of what I remember from 2005's game, you have to actually
earn the workout information by using the player in one of the mini-game
drills. The better you do, the more information you will get about the
player. I'm not a big fan of this change; it seems like a ridiculous
obstacle to throw into the game. You can learn some information about
your rookies this way, but I still prefer the way it was handled in 2005.
Afterwards, go to the NFL Draft. If you haven't traded away your picks,
you may have a chance at getting a good rookie for your team. Making your
selections is pretty simple. The on-screen information is helpful for
figuring out how to navigate things. It's all pretty self-explanatory.
After you finish the draft, you'll get another chance to cut players.
If there's no one to cut, hit the START button.
We'll now have the opportunity to sign our draft picks and see how we
fared. It's not until you sign the players until you figure out their
overall ratings. You DO NOT have to sign every draft pick, just the
ones you want.
Afterwards, you have another opportunity at picking up some free agents.
Any draft picks not signed will show up here. I wouldn't expect to find
any big surprises here.
After the free agency signing is over, you can re-order your depth
charts. I rarely need to make changes, but sometimes things get out
of whack in the off-season somehow. Look over everything and if
everything's in order, move on to the next season. You'll be able
to put your players through the training camp mini-game drills again.
================================================================================
SuperStar (Hall of Fame) Mode (00043)
================================================================================
SuperStar Mode, also known as Hall of Fame, allows you to create a
player and send him through the NFL in hopes of him earning a spot
in the NFL's Hall of Fame. Have you got what it takes to make it?
I've had a chance to play around with this mode much more than with
the Franchise Mode, but I've still not made a whole lot of progress.
The mode isn't nearly as fun as I expected it would be. I started
as a Defensive End and got bored with him and created a Running Back.
That's a bit more exciting, but it's still not all it's cracked up to
be in my opinion. The camera angles *may* be more realistic, but it
really takes away from the fun of the experience. I may end up creating
a linebacker, which from what I've heard, is more fun to use.
When you create your player, you get to name your player whatever you want,
and then you need to choose your parents. This can have a very big
impact on what you will play as in the NFL. On the screen, you're shown
information about your parents. You need to go into this screen with a
certain player position in mind. Once you have one in mind, try to find
the correct parents to give you the best benefits. If you want to be a
Wide Receiver, for instance, your best bet would probably be to find a
father who is a Hall of Fame Wide Receiver and a mother who is a
Sprinter. Press the O button to give you another combination of parents.
Keep pressing it until you find the parents of your dreams.
Tip: When creating your player, you will receive the option to
choose how much muscle your player gets at each part of his
body. Don't over do it. Look at the appearance bar at the
bottom of your screen as you increase/decrease the muscles.
More muscle isn't always best.
Afterwards, you will find yourself in an apartment. This is where you'll
live. There's not much to do, however. You can check out your cellphone
and your calendar (schedule), but that's it until you get drafted by a
team. You will receive messages on your cellphone, which works more like
an email inbox than a regular phone. You will know you have mail when a
green light near the phone lights up. Your calendar has scheduled events,
such as movie shoots, game days, training days, etc marked.
Go into your calendar and hire an agent. You won't likely be able to get
a good agent in the beginning. I wound up with the worst. Afterwards, go
by what is listed on your calendar. This acts as the best guide for the
time being. Do what it tells you to do. You'll perform in an event or
two, such as the 40 yard dash. Which events you have access to depends
on which position you are playing. Pre-draft workouts have permanent
effects on your attributes, so it's criticial to do well with these.
Regardless of which position you will be, you could certainly benefit from
being able to run faster, so I recommend the 40 yard dash for at least
one of the workouts. In the dash, wait until the word "Go" pops up on
the screen and start tapping that X button like crazy. As the "power"
meter fills, you will run faster. Keep pressing the button until you
cross the finish line. Other than the 40 yard dash, you need to consider
the other events available. If the dash is the only one you're good at,
then you can really improve your speed, but you should practice those
other drills so that you can improve other attributes should you decide
to play this mode again.
After the draft, you'll have access to the city's map, mirror,
computer, and rookie handbook. The map will allow you to travel to
a few locations, such as your agent's office, the barber, tattoo parlor,
and the performance institute. The barber and tattoo parlor are used for
changing your appearance. You can go to your agent's office to get
press coverage and get traded, for instance. You can't visit the
performance institute until you have an agent which has access to it.
Your mirror will allow you to change your appearance. The computer will
allow you to access your statistics, your team's roster, etc.
Now that you've grown accustomed to your apartment, it's time to go
train, practice, and obviously play some games. If you're like me,
you really only desire to play the actual games and sim the practices
and training events, but that would be a mistake. You'll probably
have better practices if you play them yourself. A good practice could
increase key attributes for your Superstar. A good practice, by the way,
is to get ten points per play. If you want an easy way of doing this,
choose a deep passing play on offense and choosing a goal line play for
the defense. Your receivers should get off the line, leaving you to
throw the ball deep for a TD, giving you a total of 48 points a play.
If your player is on defense, however, you will obviously have to play
a little differently. A reader, going by the handle of scstan13
suggests calling a Singleback PlayAction pass for the offense and
a defense that drops most back into coverage, keeping the quarterback
from rushing the throw. Keep sprinting before the snap, and if you are
at a far enough distance outside the OT, he'll either miss you or ignore
you completely when the snap comes. The QB will be a sitting duck after
wasting time faking the handoff. It may help if he is facing away from
you after he hands it off, so he can't see you coming to crush him. Sacks
are worth 15 points unless you make a diving tackle (not hit stick), in
which case, they are worth 20 points. Even if you don't sack the QB,
the pass will likely be incomplete, worth 10.
You can see what sort of bonus you've gotten from the practice by going
into your computer in your apartment, called "Your Web". In the first
drop-menu, select the option for Practice Results. The attribute bonuses
you get in between games will give you a boost for the next game. You
will lose those bonuses after the game and will have to practice more
for the next game.
During a game, your Superstar will be awarded temporary influence points.
You can use these points to improve your team. When you first start out,
you are given the role of "Rookie." As a Rookie, you can only improve
yourself. You also can only improve two attributes: Stamina and
Toughness. As your career progresses, you can gain new roles. These
are very position-specific. If you're a Quarterback, for instance, you
can have a role or two that you couldn't get if you were a Middle
Linebacker, and vice versa. Roles other than Rookie allow you to affect
other players on your team. In fact, there are a few roles which will
decrease the attributes of your opponents as well.
Before you play a game, get accustomed to the controls. Know what every
button does as it relates to your player and his position. If you are a
wide receiver, tight end, running back, or fullback, for instance, once
you get open in a passing route, hit the L1 button to call for the ball.
If the QB hasn't already thrown the ball, he will likely pass the ball
to you.
When you check the "Home" page on "Your Web", you will learn more about
your Superstar. The description is written by your webmaster and contains
an interface displaying your current level of Ego and Influence. Your ego
fluctuates because of your agent, how you answer questions in interviews,
etc. Influence changes because of your agent and how you perform in the
games.
As you perform better in the games and as your influence increases, other
agents will become available to you to hire. To see if you can hire a
new one yet, go to "Agent Directory" in "Your Web". If a new agent is
available to you, his name will be in white text... instead of being
greyed out. One of the nice benefits to getting a new agent is gaining
access to the Performance Institute. Below is a list of the agents in
the PS2 version of the game:
Name Influence Ego Performance Institute
Marty Allen Excellent Negative Yes
Pablo Fuentes Excellent Positive Yes
Joe Martin Good Negative Yes
Jesse Spinks Good Positive Yes
Tom Dagart Good Neutral Yes
Ned Masters Average Negative No
Bob Allen Average Positive No
Jimmy Powers Poor Neutral No
The Performance Institute is merely a way to access the mini-games from
other areas of the game. When you came into the league, you had to go
through Individual Workouts which gave you increases to your attributes.
The same is true with the Performance Institute. You have access to
those mini-games and if you perform well, you can give yourself an
attribute bonus. Which mini-games you have access to depends on which
position your Superstar is. The attribute bonuses you get from the
Performance Institute are temporary. After the next game you play is
over, the attributes you changed revert to what they were before you
visited the Performance Institute.
From time to time, you may receive offers from companies looking for
you to star in an advertisement or movie for them. These are great
opportunities, so jump at the chance when you can. To do well at them,
you need to get your lines correct. It helps if you have a great
short-term memory and attention to detail. They will show you your
line and then give you options for what the line was. Usually, the
only differences come down to word contractions (I have vs I've) or
the punctuation marks at the end of the lines. Doing well may net
you additional opportunities in product promotions and movies.
After your first two seasons are up, you will have the opportunity
to walk and become a free agent or your agent will negotiate a new
contract with your team. Since I was happy where I was, I stayed
and got a new contract. If you decide to be traded, try to look at
the new team's depth chart. Make sure you will be a starter and that
you have a good support group. If you're a running back, for instance,
check the offensive line out. If it's bad, ask your agent for another
trade.
As your career progresses, you will end up moving. You start in an
apartment and will eventually move to a loft. After my third season,
I moved to a mansion and became a millionaire. You will likely even
gain roles like Team Mentor, which is great for influence.
To see if you will be able to make it to the Hall of Fame, monitor the
"Hall of Fame Board", which is found on your computer (Your Web). I
ended up retiring with my RB after seven or eight seasons and made it
into the Hall of Fame with about 12,000 yards rushing.
_______________
Important Note:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After you complete the Superstar mode, your Superstar file may end up
becoming corrupt. It seemed to happen to me when I retired and made
it to the Hall. You'll likely end up getting an error message stating
the memory card may have been ejected from the PlayStation, but it
obviously didn't. Why this corruption happens is beyond me. It seems
like a technical glitch on the part of the game's developers. Turn off
the system. Open the disc tray and remove the disc and close it back
up. Use the PS2's browser to find the memory card and delete the
Superstar file from your card. There's no point in wasting all of that
space with a corrupt file, afterall. If you wish to do another Superstar
career, go ahead and create a new one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (00044)
================================================================================
This is the section I've dedicated to questions that I deem are asked
quite a bit, and instead of receiving the same questions over and over,
they will be asked and answered below. Be sure to read this section
prior to asking me a question.
Q: I lost my manual - can you send me yours?
A: No. This kind of question is one I don't like to answer. Far too
many people are using pirated copies. If you use a pirated version,
obviously there's no printed manual to use. Much of the information
you may need from the manual can be found in this FAQ, so it's of
little use, really. Each year, EA's manuals get thinner and thinner.
It'll only be another year or two before we only get a slip of paper
inside thanking us for buying the game and providing no help at all.
They're nearly there already.
Q: I bought Madden 06 last year, so should I buy Madden 07?
A: It's difficult for me to answer, given the fact that I didn't play 06.
The previous Madden game I had was 2005, so it's a bit of a change for
me to go to 07. My advice would be to read about 07 and then rent the
game from a rental service or maybe borrow it from a friend.
Q: I'm in the SuperStar mode and I would like to play when my character
isn't in the game. Is it possible?
A: Yes. Pause the game and hit L1 or R1, and you will see the control
switch from CPU to User. You will then be able to control the offense
and defense, although you still won't be able to call a play.
Q: What's your favorite team/player/etc?
A: In the game or in real life? Either way, I've been a fan of the Dallas
Cowboys for some time. As for a favorite player, I really don't have
one.
Q: Can you turn off the passing cone in online games?
A: No.
Q: While using the Superstar mode, why can't I use the Performance
Institute?
A: You need an agent who has access to the Performance Institute.
If you do have an agent with access, you need to wait a full week
before you can use the Performance Institute again. If you use it
on say Tuesday, you cannot use it until the following Tuesday.
Q: My attribute bonuses after using the Performance Institute disappears
after I play my next game. Why?
A: It's only meant to be a temporary bonus. For long-term increases in
your attributes, it really comes down to long-term success in the
actual games.
Q: How do I change the camera angle in the Superstar mode? I hate the
default view!
A: You cannot change the camera view/angle. It's meant to add realism,
much like the passing cone for the QB.
Q: When I import my NCAA Football superstar, I notice his skin color is
darker than it was in NCAA Football. Why is this?
A: I've received this complaint from a number of people, and I'm not sure
why this is the case, other than to say it sounds like some sort of
glitch on the developer's part.
UPDATE: I received an email from Josh Fox who suggests not using face
number one while creating the player in NCAA 07. According to him, the
bug only affects players made with that face selection when importing
to Madden 07.
Q: I created a player and would like to use him in the Franchise mode.
I cannot seem to find him anywhere, so can you help?
A: When a player is created in the Franchise Mode, he is not
automatically affiliated with any particular team. He is thus a Free
Agent. While in the Franchise Mode, go to the Rosters menu and find
the Free Agents list. The list can be sorted according to overall
rating as well as many other attributes and even player position.
This may help find the created player a little more quickly. Once
the player is found, highlight him with the directional pad and
click the X button. A screen should pop up informing you of the
contract the player desires. Lowering the salary will decrease the
chance that he'll sign for your team, so just go down to the last
option, "Submit Offer." If the player finds your offer acceptable,
a message will pop up saying so.
Q: When will there be a roster update?
A: EA probably won't issue an official roster update until after the
preseason has finished.
Q: I created a custom playbook and would like to use it in the Franchise
Mode. How can I do this?
A: Of all of the email I've been getting, this is one of the most popular.
According to one reader, EA doesn't allow this in the Franchise mode,
only in the Play Now mode. Why they did this is beyond me. The reader
has confirmed this information with Electronic Arts.

Madden Challenge (00045)
================================================================================
Introduced several years ago, the Madden Challenge gives you certain goals
to try and accomplish. They include things like rush for one hundred yards
in a game with a single player. If you meet the goal, you will be awarded
a number of tokens which can be turned in for the purchase of Madden cards,
which will give you a bonus in the game. How many tokens you are awarded
depends on the difficulty on achieving the goal. Increasing the difficulty
level will obviously make achieving the goal more difficult, but if you
meet the goal's requirements, you will be awarded more tokens.
Here is a simple chart, showing how the difficulty level can affect the
number of tokens you're awarded.
Difficulty Setting Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
Rookie 2 3 4 5 6

There are 283 total Madden Cards this season. Player cards give that player
a boost for a specified amount of time. Playing a Coach card boosts your
team's awareness for a specified amount of time. Stadium Cards unlock
stadiums for exhibition (Play Now) mode. Historic Team cards open those
squads for exhibition, and Cheerleader/Pump Up Crowd Cards give your team
a temporary boost. I've included a list of those cards below.
The cards come in three values: bronze, silver, and gold. The higher the
value, the longer the benefit will last in the game. You can view the
benefits of each card by hitting the O button while viewing the card. The
O button will flip the card over, revealing all of the details of the card,
including the value of the card, should you wish to sell it.

* = Due to a programming glitch by the developers, the LaDainian Tomlinson
card is nearly impossible to get. When you complete the Ground Attack
drill on All-Madden and receive a Gold trophy, you get the Shaun
Alexander card. If you go to the Madden card list, Ladainian
Tomlinson's card is locked and it shows that you need to get a Gold
in the Ground Attack on All-Madden difficulty. They obviously got
the two cards mixed up somehow. This screwup has been documented by
not only myself but through several readers of this FAQ.

================================================================================
Version 0.1 - Aug 28, 2006 - 252 KB
Released the first version of the FAQ. There's still quite a bit to add,
so if you would like to contribute, email me.
Version 0.2 - Aug 29, 2006 - 252 KB
I added a few more Madden Cards.
Version 0.3 - Aug 29, 2006 - 252 KB
I corrected the coaches for the Bears and Panthers in the team analysis
section.
Version 0.4 - Aug 31, 2006 - 258 KB
I made a few more corrections in the guide. I also added a couple of
more Madden cards. If you have some which I don't, email me. I'm still
missing some. I also listed the glitch with the LaDainian Tomlinson and
Shaun Alexander madden cards. Also, I added more to the Superstar
mode section. I'm still looking for any other tips for the section. If
you've retired and made it to the Hall, let me know about your experience.
Finally, I'll likely begin the Franchise mode soon, so if you've got some
experience with that portion of the game, let me know about any tips you
think should be shared with others.
Version 0.5 - Sept 01, 2006 - 271 KB
I added six more Madden cards to the list. The list is nearing completion,
but is still missing some. If you have any of them, let me know! I also
added to the Superstar and the Franchise sections of the guide.
Version 0.6 - Sept 03, 2006 - 274 KB
I finished the Madden card list and added to the Frequently Asked Questions
list. There's not much else to add to the FAQ in my opinion, so I don't
expect to update this anymore.
Version 0.7 - Sept 07, 2006 - 275 KB
I only have one minor update, a new frequently asked question has been
added regarding the problem with picking a custom playbook in the franchise
mode.
Version 0.8 - Sept 30, 2006 - 275 KB
I added a minor update to the question in the FAQ section regarding the
glitch which takes place when importing a superstar from NCAA Football 07.
Version 0.9 - Oct 30, 2006 - 275 KB
I removed my email address. I'm sorry, but I'm no longer accepting emails
about this game (read the Introduction section).
