August 7, 200521 yr hell ya i cant wait...im leavin at 1130 to get to the mall by 1145 to wait for my copy...n then no sleep for me...8 straight hours of MADDEN 2006
August 7, 200521 yr I'm interested to see how the new "QB look" feature works. But, I won't get it for another week. Gotta' keep my priorities straight.
August 8, 200521 yr According to IGN this is the first Madden to "fail to outdo itself". What a coincidence that this comes during the same year that there is no 2k football game to compete against.

Now that they don't have any direct competition, EA probably thinks that they are going to be able to slap on a new roster and slightly improve the graphics every year and people will buy it. While they are probably mostly right, smart gamers might want to hold off for a year or two if things get really bad. As for me, EA was hoping to get all of those people who bought the 2k games the past year to pick up Madden, well I can tell you that this is one guy they will NEVER get to buy it.
August 8, 200521 yr im buying it this year but i aint leaving my house to go buy the game at midnight, i can wait till tommorow or wednesday.
August 8, 200521 yr I was considering the midnight thing, since that's only about noon on my schedule. But, I've decided I'd rather wait and swoop in and get it in 5 minutes tomorrow. I have it reserved, so it'll be there. And I can already tell I'll be turning off the passing cones, too much button pushing nonsense for my liking.
August 8, 200521 yr Don't think it's been mentioned previously but Madden 2005 dropped it's price to $29.95 to compete with NFL 2K5. With the exclusive license, Madden 2006 is back to it's original (price gouging ways) $49.95.
August 8, 200521 yr They finally have some good music in the game. Well, at least for one song they do.
August 8, 200521 yr NCAA 2006 will be taking up my time this football season. Madden can wait till next year.

What a coincidence that this comes during the same year that there is no 2k football game to compete against. 893101[/snapback] Should have expected it though. No competition, so nothing to really compare it to.
August 8, 200521 yr The new features this year are a joke. As I said I don't want to play the sims, I want a football game. I'm not buying this for the first time in awhile but if enough people agree with me, the monopoly contract is thrown out.

Gonna rent it and if it isn't as good as it should be, decide to do the same as you. MVP has been good, though I don't want to overplay it due to no MVP 06.
August 10, 200521 yr Is it that bad Juanky? Im waiting for Xbox390 or whatever to come out before I buy any new games.
August 10, 200521 yr No thanks. I'll plug in the NES and play some Tecmo Bowl. 895601[/snapback] :notworthy
August 10, 200521 yr I played it today at my friends house for about two games and saw the whole franchise lay out 50 bucks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Madden 06
