 Lovely Graphics but Questionable GameplayJan 22, 2006
By Lisa Shea
"medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
Madden NFL has been around for quite a while, and has built up an incredible reputation. The XBox 360 launch release has great graphics - but a few flaws.
Let's start with the great parts. We have a high definition TV and the graphics were just gorgeous. You can see the details of the face, the definition of the muscles, the details of the uniforms. The stadiums have signs in them promoting the home team.
That being said, we noticed some issues with graphics right away. Some of the camera angles are just awful, and made it really hard to connect a player with a ball. The fans in the stand look like robots. Also, with the incredible detail they put into the character models, some simply aren't right.
I'm happy to deal with even mediocre graphics if the gameplay is stellar. After all, it's the gameplay that keeps you going for months and months. We ran into problems here, too, though. The XBox 360 console crashed only halfway through our first game - and that was only the beginning.
You can't challenge plays, either, even though some seem mighty suspect.
There might be some players who really like the changes, and who can deal with the crashes and bugs. If you think that might be you, then certainly rent it for a week and see. After a week you should be able to tell how well you enjoy it and if you want to buy it. I definitely feel this is a test-before-you-buy title.

 What on earth was EA thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nov 23, 2005
By Stanley J. Roofner
One word describes this game, "rushed"! It is so blatantly obvious that EA "rushed" this game to the market to coincide with the release of the XBox 360 just to show off their new and improved player models. As some of you already know this happens, but I really didn't expect it from a company like EA. This game was absolutely horrible. Here's the funny thing, before a game that I played with Pittsburgh they were showing "Big" Ben Roethlisberger standing beside Hines Ward and they were the exact same height, mind you Ben is 5 inches taller than Hines. Now normally this wouldn't bother me so much, but if the only purpose in releasing the game was to show off the realistic player models, how could this happen? Oh yeah, the camera sux!!! On the plus side, the fans look pretty cool (sarcasm). They totally stripped down the franchise mode. I dont' like the new play calling menu screen. We've been using the same system for how many years now, and i've never heard a complaint about it, why change now?
People, don't waste your hard earned money on this title. I'm sure that next years will be a gigantic step up from this one because quite frankly it couldn't get worse

A giant step backwardsNov 23, 2005
By Nate the Great
How disappointing... What a beautifully polished turd.
Why is there even a franchise mode??, they cut so much from it that its just a shell of its former self... I'll put it this way, there are so many flaws, and it is so unbalanced and clunky (gameplay wise), that ESPN football from last year was more enjoyable than this.
all this game does is look good. The low point of my favorite series ever.

It says Madden, but I just don't believe itNov 22, 2005
By John H. Vanderhyden
This is one of my all-time biggest disappointments. Say goodbye to everything you liked about Madden. They axed a ton of features that seperated this game from all the other football games. Online play has suffered, the fantasy draft is no more, you can't even challenge plays! Graphically, it looks amazing but that's the only improvement. It honestly feels like you're playing a demo and you're denied access to all the functions that make the game worth buying.

Madden NFL Disaster!!!!Nov 23, 2005
By Warrior-D
"warrior28"
Being a hardcore gamer like myself, this Madden NFL 06 on the 360 is the worst Madden game I have ever played. So many features were taken out of the game that doesn't make it enjoyable.
Pros:
1. Excellent graphics
2. Radio commentary average but needs extra play by play man.
3. NFL Sounds of game were pretty good.
4. EA Trax(Every track was perfect for the game!)
Cons:
1. No Instant Replay.(Receivers get away with too many out of bound passes!)
2. No deep franchise mode.
3. Offensive and Defensive Playmakers controls removed.
4. Madden cam was very poor. It zooms in on the running back more than the whole field. U have to press the Right Trigger to see the whole field. By the time you do that play clock runs out sometimes.
5. Players don't move real enough like in the first-gen Madden 06 on the PS2 or Xbox.
6. More offensive minded game than defensive minded. I prefer a more balanced game like the first-gen Xbox/PS2 style.
7. The Playbooks menu was a bit confusing at times during gameplay.
Save your money on this game and buy I different Xbox 360 game that's worth it. I'll trade in my Madden 360 game very soon. If you really want Madden this year than buy it on the PS2/ Xbox.Wait until Madden NFL 07 for the Xbox 360 comes out next year.
