Madden 2006.

Screw renting, who wants to rent it when you can buy it? If you're a fan of Madden, I'm sure you'll like it, if just for the sake of seeing the players on their new teams. Everyone always says that getting it every year is a waste, and every other year is more reasonable. But they always end giving up buying it.

Probably normal XBox. I played this at EB Games some and I like what I see so far. What I can't figure out is why some people complain that it's not much different from 05, but honestly, how much needs to be changed? I like the truck stick and the QB vision thing. In the QB vision I found it either easy to complete passes or easy to get them intercepted because if you accidently place it behind a reciever, you have a problem. I can see it being real fun on those 1-on-1 deep reciever matches.

I plan on getting it but I'm going to wait until XBOX 360 comes out. No reason for buying it for XBOX when 360 comes out in about 2 months.

[Doobie]

I think i speak for some of us when i say that by the time i get an xbox 360 , madden 2007 will be out .

[Riot]

XBOX 360 is coming out in November this year....

[Doobie]

I know , but what i meant by what i said was that allot of people aren't going to get it at first for financial reasons .

[Riot]

Just get a job and everything is set.

[Jackal_]

Yeah Riot I'm doing the same with Madden.. gonna wait till I get my 360. Same thing with NBA Live 06.. gonna wait.

[Riot]

Yup, there really is no point in getting them when you can get a better version in a few months.

anyone who has ps2 version of madden wanna play me online?

[fgrep15]

I like the truck stick. Is cool how you can jus bulldozer over the defender.

Pressing Y and just covering up the ball works just as well in breaking takles, but it's cool nonetheless.

Punt Returns are jacked up in the game, your player don't block. I had 2 guys infront of me on a PR, and a defender ran right through the middle of them while they watched him, and I had to quickly press fair catch.

Also the DB's in the game are very extraordinary. The thing that bothers me is that they still haven't fine tuned the inside running, RB's still get stuck behind linemen.

[JoshD]

this game is great a lot of improvement. But now online is freat i have it for PS2 it doesn't freeaze at all.

[Jeffx]

How many like/hate the QB Vision Cone? I'd like it better if li Manning's wasn't so damn small.

[fgrep15]

I like it....

[JoshD]

it is more realistic. i also like it. i give it a thumbs up.

Just got 06 today, overall impression is that it's OK. It hasn't lived up to the other Madden updates from year to year, but it's still a fun game. I like the passing cone though. My friend hates it with a passion because he thinks it's too hard with QB's with small cones, but I still think it's pretty easy. I completely agree with fgrep though that block on punt returns is terrible, I've managed about a 10 yard return at max so far.

I just got it yesterday. Similarily to whoever up the thread I am a db drafted by the Titans in superstar mode. I'm a 91 ovrl FS. I was amazed to see a 21 year old rookie drafted midway through the third round end up 91 ovrl. Maybe it has something to do with my 90% on the IQ test.

Is Terrell Davis always the mentor, or does it change? I started one and I screwed up a setting somewhere so I re-started.

I like training, just find a go-to play and rack up the points. Although it's already getting too easy so I'm going with random plays. I wish there was a bit longer before snaps to call audibles though. I like getting basic man coverage and blitzing both safeties. It takes too long sometimes.

I was in a movie.

Switching the sprint and switch buttons on defence made sense as it matches up with the offensive controls. But it completely fucked me up at first. Still messes with me when I'm switching between players before the snap. Getting used to getting my right thumb over the right analog on passing downs first as opposed to hovering the buttons is still awkward. And with that QB Vision it moves too quickly, so it's hard to stick it on a player a lot of the time. Switching the button for QB scrambling was a nice touch too.

I want to go the the performance institute. Maybe my next interview will catch someones attention.

Overall game seems great so far.

[Drex]

As far as I know (and read), Terrel Davis is always the mentor

[FendeR`]

Yeah he is. And does anyone else think that pass-rushing with your D-line is harder now? I seem to get knocked over a lot. Than I'll try to switch to another lineman, but the pass will be in the air so it'll switch to a DB and I'll leave the reciever open sometimes. Another thing that annoyed me a little is when I went to my agent's office and chose the option to talk to the press about my next opponent (seeing if it would give me exposure or something positive), and then he told me that it was going to be me ripping the other team. :\ I'm trying to be the nice guy so far, so hopefully it doesn't do anything too bad for me.

[Rip32]

And does anyone else think that pass-rushing with your D-line is harder now? I seem to get knocked over a lot.

Yeah i think it is harder but if you start the play as your OLB and then in mid play switch to your tackle you dont get knocked down as much.

[Wormy10]

I didnt read all these posts but i found out that sacking the QB is really really easy, at least for me it is. I have a lot with Terrell Suggs in my Dynasty

[Little_Big_Man]

Just got Madden 06 PC, pretty cool so far just getting used to the new features. Just wanted to get this for now to keep me busy til I get the XBox360. I guess then I'll have to start buying my games. Don't mind it though because the graphics look awesome so far
