    Madden 06. The worst Madden game ever made. But also, one of the best Madden games ever made. The first Madden post NFL 2K5. The first Madden on next gen consoles. A game intending to be “the greatest Madden ever”. A monumental failure. A trailer that was borderline false advertising. An interview completely wiped from the internet. If you played Madden 06 on the PlayStation 2, you loved it. If you played it on the Xbox 360, you hated it. This is a cautionary tale of the rocky development, release, and legacy of Madden NFL 06.

If you want to penalize QB's with low awarenesses do something like have the controllers respond incrementally slower. Like an 80 AWR buttons lag just a tick behind 90 AWR and so on. That's much more realistic of an effect than the stupid vision cone.

      Licensing in video games is the reason why the NCAA 23 game is delayed, it is also the reason why we only have 1 set of TV crew for each sports game. Overall, I hope policies such as the NIL (Name, image, & likeness) terms expand the future for proper licensing for the sports entertainment industry.

    I went out and bought a PS2 and Madden 02,03, 05.06, and 08. I'm playing 06 right now and oh my god, so many little touches that make this game great. The player movement looks so realistic, i.e. special teams actually down a punt instead of circling around the punt returner like morons. Players help teammates up off the turf, or jump over a player whos' down on the turf. The chain gang even falls down when players run into them. I do wish I could pick plays based on the specific player but that just means I need to familiarize myself with the playbook more. I just discovered the greatness that is the hot route system and sending players in motion. Now if I could only figure out pre snap reads and when to and not to throw a pass...but yeah, thanks to your videos I have rediscovered the greatness that is Madden 06 on the PS2.

I remember people saying they liked PS2 Madden better and I couldn’t understand it until I finally got a PS3 and bought ‘08 and played it for myself. It then made perfect sense why people was still playing the game on the PS2 years after the PS3 was released. I then became a 2k and a COD boy after growing up a Madden fanatic.

    Madden on new gen vs. old gen consoles is exactly what we as gamers should be taling about. Every series has trouble transitioning in between new consoles from older ones due to try to change gameplay, performance, and graphics over features. It's why pcs rule. Look at a game like Minecraft or Terraria with infinite hours of great content but doesn't look great all because it stays on one console, which you can typically update.

    @ 3:11 the play to the middle right is my all time favorite play in madden , especially in maddens 06 - 10 . with this play , it's almost always a guaranteed 1st down or more with a nicely timed hit stick truck . I custom and mastered all the audibles and hot routes possible out of this play. I would make sure to have the perfect personnel for this play to work at its best with RWR being an all around WR and my LWR being either a speedster or highly rated route runner possession WR . my TE would be a faster TE with high jump and catch stats . i would substitute in a good blocking TE with decent catch and route running skills at FB. With all these weapons with the perfect skill sets out on their best utilized positions , I would carve defenses up with this play alone !!!!

    But it was fun AF, kind of like death race before death race became a thing. It was 3 laps, and it was complete mayhem. You could outfit weapons, destroy traffic during the race, even if your car is destroyed. You could direct it into other cars sabotaging their efforts to win, it was insanity. That demo was so fun. I wonder what became of that game?

    This is why I dont often say much when a game is delayed or seems like its struggling on developnent. The devs are often trying their best and you never know about all of the problems that could arise during development. Yelling at them is only going to add more stress.
