The trailer got fans excited. But now some are ready to tackle EA over reported bugs in the new Madden NFL 07. According to online reports, Madden NFL 07 for the Xbox 360 is filled with bugs that might tick off some people.

Most games have bugs. It just turns out that some bugs are less noticeable than others, and with Madden NFL 07, there's one bug that's obvious and affects gameplay. The football players in the game are supposed to fatigue from green to yellow to red, but the players keep on running and tackling and running and they're still in the green. Is everybody a Hall-of-Famer?

David Ortiz of EA said that this is a real bug but a fix is on the way. Actually, the players are fatiguing, he says. It's just that the user interface isn't showing it. He says the fix will be delivered as a patch to the game at around the same time as the release.

Fans are divided. A few are actively flaming Madden-related posts, a few express outrage that EA could let such a big bug escape, and others are taking this opportunity to bash the Xbox 360 (the PS3 version doesn't seem to have the bug).

Still, many are just glad that a fix is on the way. Hey, it is next-generation football for a next generation-console; the bugs could have definitely been worse. And despite all the negative hype (and it could all just have been overhyped), Madden fans may still be able to look forward to a fun game for the Xbox 360.
