PS2 Madden NFL 2006

5 stars (Madden Excels Yet Again) - Madden has improved upon its already top-ranked video football game product in a multitude of ways to ease gameplay and improve the playing experience. The new passing cone, while tricky to master, provides a new level of strategy for experts and novices alike. I heartily reccomend this excellent time spending game and can only hope that others derive as much enjoyment from this game as I do. 4 stars (Madden just got a lot better) - Wow, I am deeply impressed with the new QB vision mode. It makes it so your QB cant roll 10 yards back and just heave a cannon to the end of the field when your on your 40. You have to lock on your vision control onto the player and then you can throw an accurate pass. The only bad thing about it is that you get rushed too soon. I think they should have the defense come in a second later because of this new change cause it takes time to look off the defenders. Another new addition is the NFL Superstar mode where you can take the life of an NFL QB, take an IQ test to decide where you will be drafted, answer interviews and play cameos in movies. Beyond this its basically just like playing a season. They didnt put very much time into that new aspect. Other than this it is just another episode of the Madden series. Which is good because i'm hooked on it. Good to see Madden improved upon the dreadful 2005 game. Go out and buy it but you might want to rent it first because not everyone likes it 4 stars (comparsion to other games) - Madden 2006 is by far the best football game yet to be released. The new features blow the old versions out of the water. The game is now more realistic and fun with the addition of QB passer vision, and the NFL superstar mode. The ability of being able to sprint with the QB behind the line of scrimmage now is now a feature making the game run more smoothly as well. The addition of QB passer vision, which is the line of sight the QB can see, was a great idea since it adds mor...

Madden NFL 2006

2 stars (Broken for high-end ATI cards.) - Well Madden is my favourite PC game. I invariably buy it the first day of its release every year and play it till mastery. Madden 2005 was a substantial improvement over 2004. It offered decent defense and it was possible to stop the ridiculous long bomb issue that plagued 2004. 2006 on the surface seems to offer a great deal more depth it terms of gameplay than before. The precision passing thing is a great addition. Making it harder to score was also the most challenging thing. Previous games were too easy as once you knew the plays you could advance the ball upfield unhindered. However there are some significant hurdles to be overcome before you can get to the goodness underneath. The key mapping is just horrid and there is no way on the PC of remapping them. I use a Logitech Wingman Rumblepad Cordless and in order to change the precision passing receiver that you are locked on to prior to the snap you need to hold "A" and then press the key of the receiver that you want to lock on to pre-snap. This is ridiculous. If you have to press two keys at once they need to be on different sides of the gamepad - this is how they work. Alas not in Madden 2006, you need to hold multiple buttons down with the same finger. However an even greater issue is the performance problems with ATI cards and high end systems. This issues appeared in MVP baseball as well and has now hit Madden as well. There are entire online debates about the issue. Basically on a high end system with ATI cards you get excessive stuttering during gameplay. It doesn't matter wether you turn off compression in the options or not, though this helps, it doesn;t matter if you play it in 640x480 or 1600x1200 the stuttering continues. You can tried the Catalyst 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 drivers it doesn't make any difference, I even tried the zeropoint drivers. Also I tried adjusting the PCI latency values. After two weeks of perservering I am resolved to the fact that the game i...

XB Madden NFL 2006

5 stars (bomb-digity!!!!!!!!!) - this game rocks your football playin socks!!!!!!i havent seen a foot ball game this good since last years espn 2k5 super star mode is awsome and the new cone feature is ok....its hard to get used to but you can turn it off if your to of a sissy to play a challenging game so get this game now!!!!!wat are you doing go buy it!!!!! 1 stars (its NOT in the game! Playoff format still incorrect.) - I agree with the other reviewers saying that this game cheats just to keep the game close. However what irks me the most is that this game can't even get the correct playoff matchups in the post season. It is apparant that this game developers don't know a thing about football, are lazy have, or a poor QA department or all of the above. I have emailed EA on this issue for Madden 2003, but they are so arrogant they ignored my bug find so its pretty clear that they never fixed the bug and it appears in 2006 as well. They claim "if its in the game", but apparantly its not. See below: I am the Dolphins and I had the top seed in the AFC. And here are the final regular season seedings for the AFC 1. Miami (16-0-0) AFC EAST winner 2. Cincinnati (12-4-0) AFC NORTH winner 3. Denver (9-7-0) AFC WEST winner 4. Indianapolis (8-8-0) AFC SOUTH winner 5. Baltimore (11-5-0) 6. Pittsburgh (10-6-0) Wild Card ======================== 6. Pittsburgh defeats 3. Denver 4. Indianapolis defeats 5. Baltimore According to the official NFL playoff rules, the lowest seed winner from wildcard weekend plays the number 1 seed. And in my case that would mean I should play Pittsburgh (6th seed) in the divisional. However the game matches me up with Indianapolis. It seems the game is doing the match ups by record instead of playoff seeding. The same thing happened in the NFC the previous season. I also noticed that the game does not follow the tiebreaking rules. this year the falcons and panthers were tied at 10 - 6 in the NFC South. The split the season series and al...

GameCube Madden NFL 2006

5 stars (Good Game) - Madden is a great game with incredible graphics. QB precision makes game much more interesting. Great with friends. 4 stars (Football, The Madden Way) - There is arguably no doubt about it when it comes to EA Sports. They have no doubt about it controlled the sports playing market. Whether it is baseball, golf with Tiger Woods, or football, they have kept the ball rolling for years at a time. There is no doubt about the Madden football series. Not only has it maintained being a staple, it has been one of the very few sports games that has remained a constant for years around. The game series has gotten better and better, and kept rolling with the tides since its late 80's PC days. Now it has kept the ball rolling for Gamecube owners alike. Madden NFL 2006 for the Nintendo Gamecube, is one of the very few hottest sports games out right now. The game really goes all out with so many classic plays in football, as you play every team in the NFL lineup like the New York Giants, or the Washington Redskins. The graphics in this game have improved over the last couple of them for the Gamecube in the players and the field, and the control also has gained a little ground. Especially in difficult gameplays. While there really isn't much of a challenge when you're playing by yourself, it really takes a whole lot of fun if you're against somebody else. The way those play by plays are also called quite smoothly, and followed very easily. Arguably, Madden fans will love this game for the Nintendo Gamecube. Madden NFL 2006 does show that the football series still has a lot of stayingpower. Considering this might be the last one for the Gamecube, and Nintendo is setting those eyes on their upcoming revolution game system. Still, this is truly a must buy for sports gamers alike. Graphics: B+ Sound: A- Control: B 1/2+ Price: B Fun & Enjoyment: C+ if you're playing it solo, A- if you're against another player Overall: B 1/2+ ...
