Madden NFL 06 for PlayStation 2

Pros: QB Vision is interesting
Cons: QB Vision is flawed

Much has been printed in recent months about the deal the National Football League made with Electronic Arts, in which the NFL granted EA Sports exclusive rights to its name, teams, and players, singlehandedly crushing Madden NFL's ever-rising ...

Pros: QB Vision Cone, Truck Stick, and Game Planning are all welcome additions.
Cons: Superstar Mode is pointless, so is Bruno, draft classes are messed up.

There have been some down years for Madden lately. 2002 through 2004 added seemingly little to the game, but 2005 gave us a new less-offensive defensive AI and the brilliant Owner Mode. It stands to reason that with the next-gen consoles coming out ...

Pros: Challenging for experienced Madden players, deep franchise mode
Cons: Hard to learn if you've never played Madden before

If you've lived with a gamer you now that every year on Maddenoliday grownish men (and some women) and children from around the country rush out to grab the year's new installment of the John Madden NFL Football video game franchise and ditch work or ...

Pros: The same high quality game with new features.
Cons: Mistakes are still there. Online has cheating issues.

I've had this game since it came out; I've played it a lot and think I can give a decent review. Been playing Madden for many years. Every year a new Madden is released. Once thought of a crazy idea, EA has capitalized on releasing not just a new ...

Pros: Truck stick, passer-eye, NFL superstar
Cons: Other than few additions, basically same as 2005

The line of Madden football games has become a prestige dynasty. 2005 and 2006 have seemingly added greatly to this ranking. The newly developed gaming tactics in Madden 2006 have blown me away. This new game has been voted #1 for football games all ...

Pros: The new Truck stick, new QB Vision feature with Precision Passing, and increase in graphics.
Cons: The brand new underdeveloped "Superstar" mode and the some aspects of the QB Vision.

For many years, Electronic Arts has released what has been considered to be the ultimate football video game, Madden. The Madden football video games have offered video gamers the chance to play virtual football from all aspects of the game, such as the ...

Pros: A good solid football game with loads of new features.
Cons: It still just a football game.

Madden 06 is a great football game for the Playstation 2 console. It has all the intensity and strategy of the older ones, but it adds a little more flavor. This time around it has this little element called "Vision and Precision". Every ...

Pros: New passing game more realistic than past versions
Cons: Subpar QB's can be nearly impossible to win with

Every year I purchase the new Madden and every year, after a few gaming sessions, I give a slight shrug. Why? Because it’s essentially the same game every year with updated rosters and a slight tweak or two. EA should be given kudos for superb ...

Pros: The Good Expanded on line community.
Cons: Not many changes from 2005

The Good Expanded on line community, with Fantasy Football updates as the real kicker
The Bad QB Vision feels gimmicky and seems to benefit veterans over rookies
The Bottom Line This year's version continues to define the football experience
