Re: Madden 06 thoughts
The novelty of Superstar mode wears off quickly, there so many flaws in it it's sad. But they'll tweak it in coming years, i'm sure, but for now i'm sticking to the plain franchise mode.
The QB cone is a good addition, you can still hit recievers outside your cone, but it's risky, and for once there's a difference between Peyton and Trent Dilfer, and you can't just run slants all the time for 1st downs with a bad QB. I also like the 'truck stick', since it means running backs (like Benson) can actually go between the tackles and get some yards.
Overall, solid, but if you have 05 i'm not sure it's worth the purchase unless you're a diehard. I have 05, and I bought this one, and i'm not sure if two new features and updated rosters was worth 70 bucks, Superstar mode is a joke.
