Rented Madden 06 Today...

I don't think the vision cone is that obtrusive, as you rarely have time in Madden to sit around and scope out your receivers as it is. You really only need to be able to focus on the primary recevier and then the dump off guys. THe presicision passing is still lame though. I don't think it should be pressure sensitive like it is. Just because I flick it a little too hard my QB throws ten yards off? Get real.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll move on up to All-Madden and I'm sure I'll have plenty to be upset about.
Oh, my first moves? Drop Mickens, Trade Donnie Abe, SIgn Law. SIgn Abe. Trade Blaylock for Darren Sproles. Sounds good to me!

The biggest joke in video games should be the disparity between All-Pro and All-Madden. THe lowest three settings of difficulty are all so easy you can score in the hundreds, then suddenly you are in a dog fight in every game and every CPU player seems to be a 99 overall charcter. Players with low Kick Power drill 55 yard FGs. Matt Stover booted a 55 yard FG against me that went through the TOP of the post, he could have kicked a 75 one like that. And I know he isn't a poor kicker, but no one drills 55 yarders. The Ravens broke 4 rushing TDs of over 50 FGs, all of which included at least 3 broken tackles and one of which was by Chester Taylor.
KC stopped every rush attempt in the backfield, regularly hitting Martin as he took the ball. Holmes picked up 15 yards a run going to the outside on every run to the edges. A KC fumble was overturned after review. Guess what? Whatever you want to say Madden 06, your physics are so funky the ball really WAS out of his hands before he hit the ground.
These games suck. There is NO attempt made to even try to represent what actual happens in a football game. Most of the time you shut down the team the first two plays of every set of downs and then they gain a first down on a long third down play. I just think it is amazing how every year the game has some assanine new feature like Sportsstar (Superstar, whichever) that brings nothing to the table and crushing flaws are left in. DBs and LBs make pivot-on-a-dime, 15 foot leaps to knock a well thrown ball down? Seems true to life to me. Ty Law can't cover an under-80 overall receiver? Happens here folks.
Screw Madden and screw the developers for these games. THey are plain rotten and only mass advertising and monopolizing of rights allows this BS to happen. In a real world of honest game ratings this wouldn't be worth a 5. I don't even think it is the worst of the Maddens, I think it is just another turd in the line.
How come every run play I call the game autibles and brings every single defensive player to the line? How come that never happens on Play-Actions? Suspicious? No! That is how Madden is. Madden Cards are what they put in to counter lousy development and poor gameplay. Need to start playing better to keep up with the game? Play the 75% fumble card or the FG From Anywhere card!
99% of video games in the market today wouldn't hold up to a real comparison of ET for the Atari. I own that game and whatever EGM wants to say about it being the worst game ever, at least it isn't based in reality. I never said, "danm it! ET wouldn't get stuck in a hole like this in real life..."

I know. Although I love madden ur playing on All Pro and its normal. But u switch it to all madden and all of a sudden their team is perfect and urs sucks. Dropped passes all the time. And u nailed it on the head with the 15 foot leaps. That is my absoulte pet peeve about madden. I was hoping to god they didnt include it in 06 but they did. They will be at the 20 u will be at the 30 and they will jump like 10 feet in the air and stretch their arm 10 more feet in the air and bad it down. But I stilol play it all the time.LOL

I was used to the 48" verticals, but I think it has gotten worse. Here is what happend to me last night:
I had Coles open going to the outside. He had a CB behind him and was cutting out, so I Precision Passed it towards the sideline. A LB was running away from the line to get on Baker who was running a streak down the seam closest to Coles. As soon as the ball left Pennington's hand, he stopped on a dime, spun, and leaped four to five yards and intercepted the ball with a one hand pull in and took the ball 30 yards for a TD. He couldn't have even known I had thrown the ball with his back to me.
I also don't like that the game still stands facing backwards when they do Play Action. No QB fakes a handoff and then just stands there staring into space for a couple seconds. It fools me too, and I should be able to tell when he is doing it,
I spend most of my Madden time trying to balance out playing on All-Pro and adjusting the AI settings so that the games are competative. All-Madden is just boring. You can win, but you have to play so goofy it isn't like real football at all.

To me, ALL-Madden is just cheap and pointless, for teh examples we've named and others. All-Pro the game actuall plays like a real football team, they just don't play well. EA really needs a difficulty between those two and the game would be much improved.

When I play online and lets say I'm playing a guy that picks the Chargers I know that the ball is going to Gates up high all day and it's impossible to stop the only way is to prey that he misses. His guy won't even look him off, his clone will be on him the whole time and i'm shadowing him with Rhodes and one of my LB's are playing man coverage on him. He will catch it in double and triple teams likes it nothing and that's ridiculous. Gates,Gonzales,Moss,T.O, and their are a slew of more players that are just constenly money and thats not how it should be.
Only online players will witness this, When the opposing player throws a deep bomb and their is no saftey help you turn into your reciever while the ball is in the air and you can move all around and the comp will follow exactly the way you move, then they cut hard left or right to make the catch and it's impossible to stop unless you controll your DB to make the play and sometimes you can't even do that because by the time you turn into your guy he opposing player has got you to far away from the ball for you to even turn into the DB to make a play. WHAT THE *beep* IS THAT???
Sometimes when you play zone your DB will just stand there in his coverage and not moving giving the green light for him to pass the ball to a wide open reciever.
Another thing that sucks is Chads ARM.LOL. He can't throw the deep ball which is true but god damn it's like you can't spread the defense with him. If you try passing bombs with Vick,Brady even anthony wright they will throw like 70 yards and thats through the air. Not to mention that in online play they make Chads durability shit. We know he's had a wrist problem and a shoulder problem but in this game you almost get hit eveytime you throw the ball. Once in every 3 games Chad will get injured and out for the game. Just the other night I played a guy that knocked out Chad and Fiedler it was like DEJA VU. Then I had no chice but to start brooks and this all happened in the first half but thank god I can run the football well. I won that game.
Man I can go on for ever. If you want a first down do a hook to J. MAC and put the ball high it's money in the bank.
my record online is 85 wins and 40 losses i have ran back 1 kickoff in all my games. I have never even came close to running back a punt.{NOT EVEN CLOSE}
Also if you are receiving a punt and you call punt return middle you will get nowheres. You have to pick LEFT or Right to even have a chance and even then your at a 95 percent failure rate.
I really can't stand people who play in dime and quarters all game and stop the run. If you think it's bad in this game it was worse in 2004. Although i have to admit it has gotten slightly better but even still people can stop the run in quarters. You will have a better chance runnig the ball in a 3 or 4 wide set then you will in a 2 receiver sets VS quarter defenses. Sometimes depending on the defense your up against you can run in a BIG formation Thats 1 reciever 2TE's a FB and HB and some how they will get in there and you only gain 1 or 2 yards or sometimes even a loss of yards. It's SOOOOOOO ridiculous.
And to top everthing off there is a punt glitch back in this game like their was in 04. After EA swore up and down that they "debugged" everything. YEA MY ASS.
End of rant ,thanks for listening. I have more but I will not bore you guys to death.
By the way I still play all the time just because I have an insane passion for football and frankly I've never gave any other football game a real chance. I don't know anything else but madden. I have really never played 2K5 but I'm thinking I might have to rent it and play it just to see the comparison and jetsfan115 is talking about.
Here's my game info.... http://www.easports....nt&platform=xbl

If you move your kick returner at all (and don’t let the computer control him to get the ball he won’t catch it. u have to move out of the way. if u satnd in the circle where the ball will fall your guy will muff it 100% of the time. Whats up with that. and as far as 2k5 its probably only like 10 bucks. Maybe cheaper for a used copy. It was only 20$ brand new so check oiut a local game stop and see if they have a used copy for cheap in the bargain bins. Trust me its worth it

What is the punting glitch and is it only on-line? I know your teammates don't block on punt returns still, which has been true for every Madden I can remember.
The stores in my town sell Madden 05 used for $9.99, so a used 2k5 might be "Free With Purchase."

Their is a small bug, well a rather big one actually. What you do is you pick punt block{when your playing online or against opponents} you take the to outside guys and keep keep switching the highlighter back and forth for the outside guy on punt return and the guy closest to him on his inside. You will be able to tell when the other play snaps the ball becasue you won't be able to move your highlighter back and forth for a couple seconds. As soon as this happeneds you can burst him off the line and cause a punt block every single time. I'm not sure if It can be done against the computer.

Defenses really seem to buckle down in the red zone in the new game. Nugent has a ton of FGs in my game. Which is fine, because he is awsome. He is something like 4-5 from 50-and-out and 35/36 overall, but since I missed an XP (yeah, ha ha) they don't have him as the best kicker in the yearly awards.
By the way, I went and got a new controller...I don't know what happened but both of my controllers were to blame for that crap I mentioned. I'm not sure why, they both worked fine just a few weeks ago. But oh well.

I bumped the human AI kick power down becuas I was something like 7/8 from 50+ and I thought it was a little unfair. I still got one, but it was close.
I just finished the season (I Simmed the last three games and a playoff game where I lost...BS). I'm going to rent NCAA 06 tomorrow and sim the season just to upload the draft class.
I have a question for anyone who has imported before though. Is there a limit to how many times you can? That is to say, if I play through the 05-06 season in both games, then import the college players into the NFL Draft, can I then play through the 06-07 season and import that class too? Or is it just a one time thing? Thanks if anyone knows.
