Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Fugetta bout it; Great game!, 2007-11-15
I think some of the detractors are missing the point.

Madden 2005 is undeniably great, but it is time to try some new things with some really useful additions.

The best one for me is, you can finally set your receivers to go the necessary yards in any pattern to go the necessary yards for a first down! That alone beyond extremely useful!
O.k, so quarterback vision isn't so great. Shut It Off!
EA is pro active in trying new things to make a better gaming experience.
If you spend time with it, it WILL win games for you.

The truck stick is the hit stick, except you running back gets to flatten someone. Great addition!

Your offensive line is now fully adjustable to allow for the best pass protection.

There is an audible mode where you select the X button, right thumbstick for a long pass, short pass, play action, or run WITHOUT your formation changing. The defense is not tipped off when you are change the play, and you can get some great mis matches. That was a great idea!

Defense is improved by selecting the back you want to double cover with, and slides your linebackers and corners into better position to defend.

Madden 05 was almost perfect. This game made some changes. Some great, some not great. You do have the option of turning them off, or not using them, so no harm done.
At least they're trying to keep it interesting.

Some folks are wondering, "Where are the cheerleaders?" You're kidding right? Dude, when they come on, should we leave the room for you?
C'mon, man I'm playing football here!

Great game with some innovative additions; all of which you can shut off, or not use.
Oh, and if you're I'm not looking for a cyber peep show...go buy a calendar or something.



Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 This game is OK., 2006-11-19
This game is a OK game, but the one flaw is when you pass to a WR he usally drops the catch. But SuperStar mode is really good. After you finish your career in College Football (Race for the Heisman) If you were a legend in your college you will go to the NFL. I was a legend in Boston College being QB. Then I enter the NFL draft and got drafted by the Baltimore Ravens. When you are in SuperStar mode you can demand a trade and you can complain about your coaches. My brother playes SuperStar and he's on the Oakland Raiders. And the demos on EA Sports Extras are pretty cool the demo for Burnout Revenge is very cool and you get movie clips from other vidoe games, like Madden 06 XBOX 360, Superman Returns, NCAA Football 06,NBA Live 06,and Arena Football. This game is OK but it is worth 20 bucks.

Madden 06 is still the Madden everyone is addicted. The biggest changes this year is the inclusion of the qb vision and precision passes. These two things are by far one the best new features in 06. It addes another layer of realism and lot more challenge for those who constantly pump up the difficulty level. It takes a little getting used to but once you get a feel for it your gonna love it. The downside is that those two things are really the only new features worth mentioning. One big add on for 06 besides the new qb features is the Superstar mode. On paper it sounds very promising and for the first few minutes I was enjoying myself then massive boredom sets in. There are a few words that describe superstar mode well let's see: tedious, boring, lame, stupid, repetition!!!!, oh and did I mention boring and most importantly crap. It is unfortunate that the Superstar mode turned out to be a collassoul failure but honestly EA what is the fun in playing through endless practices and retarded interviews and acting gigs. Sure making idiotic rants to your agent can be fun but nothing lasts forever. Unless you really like doing the sme thing over and over you'll be simulating just about every event on your calendar besides actual games. I hope that in the upcoming Madden 07 that the superstar mode is fixed. Knowing EA my hopes aren't to high. The one player perspective thing for 07 sounds good but there has got to be more changes made to the superstar mode than just that. Other flaws present in 06 include that god awful radio brodcaster Tony Bruno and John Madden who probably hasn't recorded a new line of dialogue for the game in years, unfortunately that is probably a good thing. So overall Madden 06 delivers what the gamers want. The game has it's flaws but 06 proves to be a whole lot of fun. I can't wait for Madden 07, just about a month now, which should touch up the issues in 06 but who knows how much.
