I edited the ini the first day I got madden 07, saw you didn't believe the other guy so I finally registered (great site by the way, really made my transition to widescreen allot easier). Anyways I use 1440x900 and it works, just go to "My Documents" then to the "Madden NFL 07" folder open the "madden" configuration settings and scroll a bit to find this part

// Option Group: System Settings
Front-End Rate Limited [Yes/No] = Yes
Hardware Shaders [On/Off] = Off
Helmet Mapping [On/Off] = On
In-game Effects [On/Off] = On
Player Accessories [On/Off] = On
Video Bit Depth [16/32] = 32
Video Refresh Frequency [60-120] = 60
Video Resolution Horizontal [320-1600] = 1440
Video Resolution Vertical [200-1200] = 960
Video Texture Compression [On/Off] = On
Video Texture Depth [0/16/32] = 32
Video Texture Resolution [Low/Medium/High] = High
Video Vertical Sync [On/Off] = On
Weather Effects [0-4] = 3
Windowed Mode [Yes/No] = No

Now is the time to change your Video Resolution Settings, going over 1600 and 1200 won't work, so I used 1440x900. The menu resolution doesn't change. Also any other settings you wish to change you should do in this file as when you open the game if you go into the system settings it will reset your resolution back to 640x480, then you would have to close madden and repeat this process again.

The picture is just stretched to fit the screen but at least it improves the quality over forcing it by my monitor.

Hex eidt did not work for me. No change in resolution at all. Tried several different combinations with no luck.

The change in the ini file did work for me as long as I don't go back into video settings in the game. It is 1440x900 resolution but FOV is stretched.

found a bug when editing ini. In franchise mode when you try to go into draft the game will crash if you have an edited resolution thats not in the system settings. So remember if your in the offseason to change to a default resolution.

Guys, I don't know what to tell you. I just bought a VS vx2235wm monitor 2 weeks ago. I found that Madden 07 was the only EA game I had which supported widescreen modes. When I loaded up the game, my monitor said, "adjust image to 1680x1050 for optimal display", I went to the game settings, and it has just always been there. I have the following WS resolutions I can select by default. This is an unpatched version of the game.

1680x960
1600x900
1280x800

I did find that when I switched from VGA out to DVI out my resolution options changed. Obviously the game can detect what you are using.

Hi peeps, Follow yablo4 method then after you have changed the ini.file

Navigate to (default) c/documentsandsettings/username/mydocuments/madden nfl 07

right click the maden.ini config settings (the file you have edited) and go to properties and tick the box read only and apply. This will stop the resolution settings being changed when the game/starts or options are changed

Hope this helps some people. Peace

Can anyone confirm this? I've yet to receive my widescreen monitor from the store and I want to know if this is working.

Native resolution is 1680x1050.

Thanks!

What would the hex string for 2560x1600 be when replacing the 800x600 string?
