Okay this game is awiight, i copped it expecting a lot more,and it fell way short in that area.The Graphics are the best ever for a football game,which it should be, they could of added a lot more real faces and every body in the NFL was working out with Bruce lee,because everyones legs,have a lot of muscular defintion.But i was blown away by the crowd graphics and coaches and stadiums are very well done.Sound is good not great ive heard better in NFL 2k5.The commentary is a little better than al micheals and madden ,with the typical hype radio announcer,but they still should of put madden's mouth in their to talk about stupid stuff like he does in real life after plays.The gameplay as far as the after snap action is very good they actually responds quicker to your button commands, running is a lot smoother and quicker,kinda of reminds me of 2k5,and it still has realistic momentum, a excellent Job EA.The animations are good for the most part,i hate seeing the same endzone celebrations over and over again, waz up that,they could of added a lot more.Now i dont know what happen to the other parts of the game .No playmaker,no challenges,no mini camps ,no better than 2k5 halftime,postgame highlights,no pregame show,no a lot of things.And honestly aside from the QB vision and graphics, Nfl 2k5 is probably still a lot more overall realistic reprensentation of a NFL football game experience.The new play calling is innovative but stupid, because you are showing your opponent the play your picking and their is no way to hide your play selection ,Ea what were you thinking on that one.For some odd reason the Qb pumpfakes when you dont press any buttons and messes up the timing of your passes.The game needs more life to it the commentary is better but it seems boring during play breaks ,take some notes from (blitz the league) .Most serious madden players will be dissapointed with the ton of missing gameplay options and so many other things ,it almost seemed like the madden games of the old,aside from the graphics and sound of course .Shoot you dont even have the option to see the cpu play the cpu.Overall this game lacks a lot of everything that made madden ,madden .But youll be impressed with the after the snap action.This game needs the stuff of the xbox and ps2 versions has and a lot more to be a great game.And why have all those buttons on the controller and you are only able to use a couple of them ,especially on defense, add a ankle grabbing manuever or something.Ea since you wanted it to buy the NFL license, a lot of football gamers expect a lot more out of yall ,Madden 06 reminds me of a first round bust,please make it up next year,im cheering for you or give us a updated version which we wont see.
This past year has made me hate EA even more and more with the purchase to the Exclusive NFL rights, which stopped 2k Games for continuing the ESPN 2k series which was starting to improve beyond what Madden has miss out ... Read Full Review
