Another year, another Madden. Madden is back again with all new modes and gameplay features,,, but does it live up to the hype?? The brand new gameplay trend this year is the QB vision. It has it's ups.... and it has its many, many downs. I personally do not really like this gameplay trend as I find it a little too difficult and clunky. It seems that EA was trying just to think of something new for 06. Fortunatley though, you can turn it on and off so it really isn't much of a problem. Another new addition to 06 is Superstar mode. In it you have a Vegas style slot machine in which determines your parents careers, hobbies and other stuff and it determines what postition your best suited for. Then you determine what postition you play, your name, college, build, etc. and you move in to your apartment. From there, you meet your mentor (who is a particular someone that many of you Bronco fans will like) and sign an agent and take an IQ test. However, don't be expecting any real life agents, they're mostly develpers from Tiburon whose picture is in the game. (DrewRosenhouse is not here.)The IQ test is pretty easy with a few tricky math questions here and there that you really won't feel like answering. And the other questions consist of player numbers, color of fields, rules, and length of the field. This and your father, mainly depend on where you're drafted. (Your father influences it because of his NFL experience.) After that you have training camp (which all that is is practice with points.) And then you have the option of accepting movie offers. This is actually kind of dull but is cool at first. But all it is is memorizing whats on screen. Well I've probably talked enough about Superstar mode. Can't spoil it all for you. :) The Franchise mode you love (or hate) is back again with very very few changes. You still have the newspaper and the radio from last year. And Owner Mode is (STILL!!!!!!!!) the same exact thing. Actually there's still absolutley nothing different from when it first debuted in 2004. Still Franchise mode is still the heart of the game and will keep you busy for a while. There are no new mini-camp additions or anything of the sort in 06. Although you can now go head to head in 2 Minute Drill. But that is nothing that will keep you up all night long. One of the best parts though, is the Burnout Revenge demo included in the game (Please see my review for Burnout Revenge. COMING SOON.) which is fun. Madden 06 is still a fundimentaly sound game, but the problem is that it just isn't as addictive and fun as previous games were. And sometimes, you just can't shake the feeling that you've already played this games dozens of times already.

Ah what a great game to add to the great series.Well the players walk abit weird but oh well.The NFL superstar mode is great and everything about this game is great except Madden who starts pissing me off....well i would suggest buying this game if you can't afford 07

i have nuthin 2 say

This game really gets down to the finest mechanics of football. Looking off defenders, audibling to cover the opponents best reciever. Even the linemen play a bigger part in this one with the protection shifts. Quite possibly the finest madden ever to be released, the truck stick while not a huge addition is invaluable at the goal line. The A.I. on punt returns could be tweaked to block once in a while, and there seems to be a small glitch where my profile gets points because apparently my back averages 20 ypc however these are a minor part of the game. Overall one of the funnest games ever to hit the market. 5.0 definetly

Madden has been around for a long time ever since the 90's people has bought it over and over again every madden as improved over the years When madden 2005 came out every body was happy it sold out in the first week a year has passed now we got madden o6 which I got the very first day it came out. It started out good of course season was fun then when i played create a super star mode it got really good. For about a week then it boring. THe new featuers that this game has is the back juke and truck stick it has qb vision but it hurts you more than helps. All in all the game really hasn't changed from 05. If you want a football game that gives a little more fun game play buy NCAA 06. Trust me you'll have a funner time if that.

For all the Madden H8ters (if there is any out there) you will change your whole feel for all the EAsports 06 games coming out but for now madden is the game to have!!!
