With the exclusive video game license of the NFL and PLAYERS INC, Madden NFL 07 continues to be the number one football franchise in history. In its seventeenth installment, control the running game like never before. For the first time ever, step up as the lead blocker to create a hole, and then take control of the tailback and smash through, overpower, or slash away from would-be tacklers as you fight for every yard.

Innovative rushing controls give you a game-breaking ground attack featuring all-new jukes, cutbacks, and the distinct running styles of your favorite backs. Between the tackles or in the open field, run to daylight with Madden NFL 07.

• Lead blocker control: Throw the perfect block and create a running lane with all-new lead blocking control, and then take command of the tailback and rip off a big gain.
• NFL Superstar Hall of Fame mode: Play your way to the NFL Hall of Fame by taking complete control of any position on the field. Your actions on and off the field determine your impact on the game.
• All-new Highlight Stick: Bust out player-specific running styles matching those of real NFL players (e.g., smaller backs slash to break tackles, while bigger runners bowl over defenders in the open field) with all-new jukes, cutbacks, and power moves.
