I would have to say that Madden 06 had the franchise going in the right drection again. The biggest addition to the game this year was the Quaterback "cone" vision. Basically the Quaterback has to be "looking" at the reciever for him to throw it accurately(have the cone over the reciever). Madden and Al Micheals have great commentary this year and actually say the right things at the right time. The soundtrack is alright, but I think that Madden soundtracks have been going downhill for sometime. 07 soundtrack is absurd, I don't even what to start. The Xbox control scheme is different to get used to if you play PS2 or Gamecube but you can pick it up rather quickly. The graphics/animations are good to but do have some spin move problems that a player can get "sucked" into a defender sometimes. Check this ghame out, I dont think anyone with be to dissapointed.Read full review
I have been playing Madden for 15 years now, which is pretty scary. Remember Sega? While the EA Sports NHL Hockey series was always my favorite, Madden NFL was a close second. That said, over the last several years, I felt that both of these series have become less playable. Obviously, the graphics have been improving over time, but the game play itself was more fun to me in the mid 90's. I think Madden 2006 has finally put an end ot this. The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is also much improved over previous versions. This game has all of the bells and whistles of previous years, but also has added just a better feel. The differences might be subtle, but noticeable to the experienced Madden player. In past, I have felt that running the ball was too difficult. Now, it seems EA has been able to balance that out, making it more realistic. With a game like this, there are always some issues with control. It can be a little difficult to switch players and react quickly enough on defense, catching the ball, etc. Madden 2006 still has some of these issues, which is why I haven't given it an Excellent rating. That said, I highly recommend this game on the xBox!Read full review
This is a very good game for the faithful Madden followers. This year the Quarterback (QB) position has been revamped with a special "Field of Vission" which will enable the QB to place the pass more effectively in targeted spots to the receivers. The drawback of course is that you alert defenders to where you are passing as they can see your "Field of Vission". I guess this kind of happens in real life as defenders read QBs eyes, it's the same premise. Football game players know that Madden is essential to their Xbox collection and this game is no different. You will enjoy it if you are football gamer.
Madden NFL has an exclusive liscense to the NFL players, trademarks, and other properties. This means that you won't find any other authentic game out there with up to date players, teams, or coaches. So basically it's Madden or bust. Fortunately this game is pretty good and if you like football you won't be disappointed. This game offers a rousing and realistic game of football with plenty of gaming modes. You can put together a tournament featuring your favorite teams, you can play an entire season including training camp, or you can just play an exhibition game. A nice feature for me was the football 101 sessions with Madden coaching me while I practiced different plays with my favorite teams. This game has plenty to offer and should appeal to most any football fan of any skill level. I would recommend picking up an edition one or two years old because you'll get a much better deal and very few changes are made from year to year.Read full review
I bought this game because my neighbor is a quarterback for a division 1AA team and we wanted to enter the plays as a way for him to learn them. It's great for that because we are able to enter almost everything except putting men in motion, that would be a nice addition to the playmaking ability. I don't like the gameplay as much as NCAA 07. Madden isn't as realistic so that's where they lost points with me. The quarterback vision addition is ok once you get used to it but it's no good when your playing head to head because you want to preselect your reciever and the opponent knows exactly where your going. Overall it's a good game but, like always, there are places it could be improved.
