But the thing is I’ve been beating people on every system at every game (except racing) for as long as I remember. Even games I’ve never played. I’m a very quick leaner and adapt to games quickly. The first time I played madden 05 was at my friends house and he had the game for months and a decent xbox live record and I killed him. Do u have xbox live? I’ll challenge u saturday

both of us. this way nobody can complain about having a worse team. U should get an xbox 360 when it comes out with the new madden 06 for it. xbox live has like no lag cause u need at least DSL to get on. I like hosting games cause I have a cable modem and get excellent speed from it. never have lag problems. The only thing is people unplug their modems so they don’t get a loss. It happened to me like 5 times on 2k5

Ah, yea I remember beating someone only for them to disconnect. I was top 100 in 2k5 for awhile

It was great getting 100 yard games with Martin then putting in Jordan to lay their players out for big gains. I havn't gotten Madden and probably won't because the run game is nearly impossible for me to have any success at all, and I don't like having to pass all game because all I can get is 30 rushing yards. Everytime I go outside I get blinded by some CB who should have been blocked, and everytime I go in the middle the most I get out of it is 4 yards.

i'm not gonna rate this game until i get about 15 hours of gae play so not till next week. these are my initial thoughts. i played about 1.5hrs last night.

first i haven't played a madden since 03 really and i was able to run up over 80 points and let up only 7 agaist the giants which leads me to feel like same old madden defenses. i was able to even repedetly run the same play successfull which madden was supposed to fix. Anyway some indivual basis I added law and hunter which wasn’t easy but I was able to by cutting mickens then trading Donnie abe for hunter and releaseing james dearth and then from dallas I released abe. So I was able to balance the roster. You CAN’T cut pagel unless u sign another FS first but the cap makes it difficult. Anyway the jets are awesome in that game. Chad threw for almost 500 yards (476) and 8 TDs. Coles had over 150 yards and 3 TDs jolley and j-mac had over 100. martin had over 100 rushing. Law had 2 INTs (one for a TD) and vilma had 3. Miller had a TD on a kick return for 97 yards. enough with the individual stuff now to the game.

The emphysis this year was on offense. The QB vision cone is cool but the bigger it is doesn’t really give u an advantage unless your manning of brady. Its simple to use but with the extra buttons involved its hard for u to keep track of pass rushers and will get u sacked. Dbs are very beatable especially with the total control passing. Throw one highover the middle to your TE and he’ll go up and get it unfortunately the players don’t have a sideline awareness. They’ll run out of bounds instead of toeing the line. The run game feels good and the physics seem better then in previous years. I didn’t use the truck stick at all. On defense there ins’t much to talk about. DBs will get beat or they won’t. it’s the same for every madden so far.

Those are just my thoughs on it I’ll give my full review next week

I believe the pass defense is much better!
