9

The most fun I ever had playing Madden.

EDIT: ^^ That was for Madden 04

Madden 05:

8.5 -- Fun, but not as good as 04.

 

[vamprb]

9. Defensive hot routes and the hit stick made this game better than 04.

 

[bdub]

I give it a 9, I liked it just as much as 04 but I fell in love with the hit stick.

New Features

One of the touted additions to the 2006 version of Madden is Superstar mode, which allows the player to create and take control of an NFL player from his rookie year all the way to retirement. An athlete can be created by evaluating pairs of parents — judging, based on their IQs, occupations, and hobbies, whether their child would excel in the NFL — or by importing a player from NCAA Football 06 or NFL Street 2. This player is 21 years old at the start of his career. Superstar mode is essentially Madden's Franchise mode seen through the eyes of this athlete. Rather than manage the team's front office, the player manages the career of his athlete: selecting movie roles, accepting product endorsements, and improving the athlete's attributes through practice. This addition has met with mixed reviews from video game reviewers. Although the idea is considered great in concept, many found the actual execution of the mode to be lackluster. Madden NFL 06 also features the new QB Vision Control. A cone, appearing as a spotlight emitting from the quarterback, simulates his field of vision. To make an accurate pass, the quarterback must have his intended receiver in his field of vision. Passing to a receiver not in the cone reduces pass accuracy significantly. The size of the quarterback's vision cone is directly correlated to his Awareness rating; Quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Tom Brady see nearly the entire field at once, whereas a mediocre quarterback such as David Carr, Aaron Brooks or Kyle Boller will see only a sliver of the field, however this has been very criticized by many fans because it may resemble some bias that EA Sports and the Madden series itself is, frequently accused of (for example many players say that Ben Roethlisberger's stats were, to some extent, deflated). A player can shift the vision cone with the right analog stick, or focus the cone on a specific receiver by holding a shoulder button and pressing the button assigned to that receiver. (On the highest difficulty level, once a receiver completes his route, his button label disappears; to make it reappear the quarterback must look in his direction.) This change also met with lukewarm reception. Although the passing system adds a whole new level of realism, it also makes the game significantly more difficult for players playing teams with less-aware quarterbacks. These players will be forced to improve their reflexes in order to be competitive, as throwing outside the QB vision cone results in a very weak and inaccurate pass.

Accompanying QB Vision is Precision Passing. Pressing the directional button or left analog stick in a certain direction as you pass the ball will make the throw over the receiver's head (Up), behind him (Left), in front of him (Right), or at his knees (Down).

Perhaps the most critically acclaimed new feature is the truck stick, which functions like an offensive version of the hit stick from the previous year. When running the football, a player can push forward the right analog stick to run over the defender, at the cost of risking a potential fumble. Several features from previous titles return such as hot routes, playmaker features, and franchise features.

I don't remember it looking that bad lol

I give it a 6..didn't like it much, and the 360 version was awful.

 

[July 4 1776]

9.5 Best madden I played, for madden 05


A 3 for madden 06 on the 360. This game single handily got me interested in Gears and Call of Duty. I should really thank this game for being so crappy, really opened me up to new games

 

[Hasselbeck]

Madden 05 was horrible.. 5.0 rating for me

Madden 06 would be a 3.0

 

[ThunderHorse]

I don't think it's fair to rate this game on the 360

because the last gen version was just as good as 05

I give it a 9 last gen

Current gen version of course is terrible.

I don't remember it looking that bad lol

That is the pics of it on ps2 .....

If you compare them to 07 it makes sense aswell ... 07 on ps2 isin't alot better graphically that that . 07 (ps2) had THE BEST franchise mode though and the gameplay was smooth

360 shot

Noticble differences lol

 

[FishStickZ]

for the 360 i give it a 4/10

for the PS2 i give it a 8.5 because this was the first madden game i actually played for real and the superstar mode was cool

^ That right there. So glad my uncle bought 06 for the 360 before I did. Saved me the money. I enjoyed the PS2 version at least.

 

[Point Blank]

Madden 06 (ps2) was pretty fun. I played a ton of ranked games. I'll give it an 8.

New Features

# Lead Blocker Control: After selecting a running play, the player will be able to cycle through the offensive players as they get into position at the line. The player can choose the athlete to control when the ball is snapped, and the game camera will zoom in on the fullback, tackle, guard, center, tight end, or wide receiver selected. With this feature, it is now possible for the player to open up a path for a running play, as the computer controls the halfback and tries to slip through the gap created. This feature also appeals to Madden players who do not wish to use computer assistance in any way, shape, or form. This feature allows the player to manually block with their fullback, tackle, guard, center, tight end, or wide receiver and quickly switch to their halfback to manually slip through the gap created, thus eliminating any computer assistance during the gameplay.

# Highlight Stick: Players can now move the right analog stick in any direction to see an animation where the smaller running backs will duck, spin, or squirt out of a tackle. It is also possible to string such evasive moves together, piecing together a juke left with a hop step backwards (down on the right analog for stick on Ps2 and Xbox or for gamecube down on the C stick) to elude defenders. The Truck Stick animations still exist for the bigger backs, but also feature more variety of running moves with the addition of the Highlight Stick. For example, using the Highlight Stick with Tiki Barber, a smaller back not known for trucking, utilizes an array of moves to avoid and squirt out of tackles.

# Juking and Spinning: Players can now choose two types of both Jukes and Spins to avoid would-be tacklers. For the PS2, players can either do a cut move to the left or right using the L1 or R1 buttons respectively, or a wider juke to the left or right by flicking the Right Analog stick left or right respectively. For a quick spin to allude a tackler the player simply taps the circle button. For a stronger spin which could possibly break a tackle, simply hold down the circle button.

Madden 07 for 360 I played the most online ranked games I've ever played and it led me to finding MM.

I give it a solid 9.5
