typical EA graphics, some text, aliasing problems, black and white

seriously, link doesnt work for me, and if its the ones weve seen, Im in agreement with you. Good thing I dont like the series or Id be irate

That would not surprise me at all............madden sucks the big one....and since they dont have any one to worry about they will keep giving us half ass games

I think madden has become one those games where either u like it because ur a maddenholic or because you like sports. Either the way its still a good game

BTW: Been playing madden since sega 88' and continue to love it every year

I also played madden since 88 and 2k5 took them out..im a football game fan

and they decided to take the football genre for themselves and thats bs

also i remember gameday beating them not sure what year it was but madden had to use a new engine and yes they took over but it seems like the same game over and over

the best improvement i have seen in any football franchise was 2k5 vs 2k4

that game rocks and if there was a 2k6 i am sure it would hurt them bigtime

just look at nba live (ea) vs 2k5 (basketball) it is way better for sure and 2k6 will destroy (ea) basketball game.....

Madden needs a new engine not the same game with minor upgrades...

I am so pissed 2k5 wont have downloads especially with the new season starting

its a if we are forced to play madden and i refuse

i guess ill play 2k6 for the next gen and wait for the 5 years till real sim football is back.

im going to create a (origen type) room for the end of maddens contract with a countdown that would be sweet.....

I must agree the NBA 2K series are much better than EA



And it was 98 and 99 when gameday was better than Madden

But anyways while I think the NFL 2K series were good, some of the gameplay was still kind of choppy and not as smooth. I think one of the main selling points for it also was the fact that it was cheap and it was an alternative to the madden monopoly which overtime had become complacent in their development.

While I agree its time for a Madden overhaul, overall madden just has that flame that I continue to fly to every year and when its all said and done Madden will remain one of the top franchises of all time

I don't know how either of you were playing Madden 88 on SEGA, the first game wasnt even out in 88.

Holy Shit!!!! I have been living a lie all these years

88 89 whatever i remember a football game even before that it was sticks runing around and there wasnt 11 on a team ..

I glad i was able to expirience how games have come along first hand...

centerpede was one of my favorites on ....i think it was the 78 hundred or 76 dam
brain fart i wish i would have kept those....

but madden was the best back then..i think what happens now is all the hype that goes into madden football players ect...i dont think madden really has what it takes for real football fans like myself who has had dolphin season tickets since the early 90 ,s with my uncle can tell you that 2k sports was on the right track

forget about graphics even tho i like 2k it is really the depth of the game that 1 me over...

I was a madden fan till 2004 so from 88/89 till now was a long ride but they stoped pleasing the tru gamer...i see it like an arcade style football now a days

Bring back Joe Montana football......i would prefer it yeaH i said it

I don't know if this is old but here it goes.

I've seen the screens and it looks like utter crap compared to the rendered video they were showing.

I kid you not but NFL 2K5 gives it a run for its money.


Speaking of NFL 2K5, I was a big time Madden fan back in the early and mid 90's.
Actually, if it weren't for the original Madden, I probably wouldn't be as big a football fan as I am now.

The 16 bit games were awsome. The irony of coarse is that Visual Concepts developed a few of these titles for EA.
But as soon as they left, EA struggled. Tiburon (I think that's how it's spelled) just can't make the transition to 3D. Madden, while a pretty solid game, hasn't been able to duplicate the gameplay of the old school 16 bit games. Not even with Madden 06.... The game just runs too damn slow and the graphics are very weak.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be playing Madden till this day and would enjoy it somewhat. But Visual Concepts took over with the NFL 2K series.
It finally brought the speed of the 16 bit games into 3D.
Madden just couldn't compare after that. I tried playing Madden but it just felt like a step backwards. Sort of like going from playing your Xbox, to playing something as outdated as the original Playstation.

As for Gameday?
Sorry but I think that games was 100% garbage.
I never understood why it was so popular when it first came out....

plus madden reli knows how to fuk up on live with 06, 2k5 is betterr then madden 06 in my opinion.

Joe Montana Football was the NFL 2K's of the Genesis. It was the SEGA sports Football games and I agree with you, Joe Montana Sports Talk Fottball was the shit, fuck madden, yes even fuck madden back in the day, madden has always sucked, both the game and John Maddens annoying fat ass


Yeah just like playing Pro Evoultion Soccer 4 and then going and playing FIFA 2005

I am just pissed about football for next gen......do we have to swallow madden

I think its Al micheals on 2k5 ....man his voice is sweet next to maddens constapated ass.

just imagine the leap 2k sports is taking with basketball ..how would 2k6 football look next gen.....freaking amazing.

this just isnt fair....and they say the N.F.L wanted it..

I think 2k sports should go to N.F.L europe id prefer 2k with players unknown then put up with madden...

Im still reserving my opinions......

hey look at the latest madden pics on 360

it looks like the same crappy engine...and not even close to next gen

they tried showing us that rendered crap like as if it was in game and the latest pics prove it....

with 2k football still in the game im sure it would have pushed madden to really put effort into next gen maddens

madden 2006 is a fluke.

Let me try it again.

It doesnt surprise me i figured it was rendered....

Its like the car buissness on the comercial they show you a fully loaded car with alloy wheels and the price for ex is 20k when you get to the dealer and ask for that price they roll up a car with hub caps and no power window or locks....

This industry shouldnt try mis leading us...they should stop it now...

this has been going on for to long....i remember when i bought games that had no reviews and you only had the pics in the back of the cover (game) and the graphics looked good but when you played it was tiny charactors and the cover only had cut scene grapics that bull crap......

ex Online expirience may change when playing on-line

it should be..on back of cover before buying

WARNING this games grahpics are not what you have seen on tv the game might really suck when inserted to your system....play at your own risk and if money grows from your ass then enjoy......M$..staff
