Official Madden Discussion Thread

Postby beau_boy04 on Wed Aug 23, 2006 1:48 pm

And I'm playing it as we speak on PC platform. My first impressions are good about the game and its so deep that I'm still trying to find my way.... the last time I played Madden was in 2005!

The roster seems to be a little bit outdated, anybody knows them all so I could relocate these free agents and such?

Thanks.

There's like, two threads in this sub-forum that deals with NLSC equivalent Madden fansites that'll have the update content you're looking for.

As for Madden 07, I'll definitely get that game (Y) Madden has always been fun.

Been thinking of trying out that game. I probably will play 3 or 4 full games then go on a simming spree. I've always had headaches playing it on the pc.

Question to whoever has the game: Do any of the rookies have their real face or do they all just have generic ones? This was one of my big turn-offs for Madden 06. For some reason this makes a big difference to me.

EB said it's out for 360 on August 31....I hope 360 version isn't screwed up as I was thinking of getting it....

Some of the rookies have them and some of them don't.

Overall, the game is decent for the 360. There a few things that need to be sorted out but hopefully those can be fixed. The no fatigue glitch is a killer though so hopefully they can fix that soon. The sim engine on the 360 is great, though. It's much improved from last year.

I just started a franchise with the Saints, I did mini-camp drill with Reggie Bush on the running, got a gold trophy on the superstar level. Got 7 attribute points, now he's 90 overall, 99 KR and PR, 97 at speed. :lol: Plus I can trade Deuce McAllister for someone else, probably a lineman or a corner.

I just got it. First I was disappointed because in NFL Superstar mode, my QB rated at 84 went in the third round of the draft. Then I found a way to cheat during practice to get a cheap rating boost. Then I was disappointed because the camera is locked on that player when your playing with him. I could barely keep the game tied, but once my player went out of the game, I could control anyone and see the field with a better camera angle, thats when I started to enjoy it.
Apart from that, I love the new changes you can make to a play at the line of scrimmage. I am going to start a Dynasty with the Washington Redskins. Maybe I will just sim through the NFL superstar mde just to see what it has.

I'm pretty sure there's some button you can press to change the camera angle in Superstar mode. I've seen guys at RealGM talking baout it.

I love the roles assignments... that is a badass feature... for instance if you're a fan favorite then:

This player received this role because his OVR is at least 90 and he has been with the same team for 5 seasons. This player does not want to be on the trading block. His value will increase by 10% while he has this role. While he has this role, his AWR +1 and the team's attendance will increase.

and if you're a team leader:

This player is considered a Team Leader. This role will be removed if his OVR is 85 or less and his MOR is 25 or less at the end of the season. This role increases this player's value by 5 percent. While this player has this role, young players on the team will receive AWR +1.

and there are so many roles, i almost spent the whole day playing madden and I can't get enough of it... shit i gotta work tomorrow see you guys.

Well, on the weekend, I went to EB to see if Madden NFL 07 was released yet, but they still have some advertisements on how you can pre-order it. :?

it's being released at EB on 31st August, which is Thursday....after the abysmal reviews that it received (for a Madden title), I'll be avoiding it....it looks like NHL 07 & FIFA 07 will be the best EA Sports titles this year....

Based on the reviews, if you have a PS2, then get it, because nothing bad has been said (from what I have read). As for the Xbox & Xbox 360, I would not get mainly because of the glitches/bugs.
