I'm really hesitant to get this game, because it is getting mediocre reviews.

And that is rare considering every EA game gets a 9.5 even if it's crap

NCAA is better. Madden just isn't that special. Its alright but nothing that blows away madden 05

Didn't get 05 so cant compare it to that, but I do prefer it to 04 with one exception - same as Slim, the QB precision passing thing just does my head in.

I tried and tried to get my head around it but in the end I just had to turn it off before I ended up throwing the controller out the window...

NCAA 2006 is the best football game I have ever played.

I love the race for the Hiesman feature. Best thing they have added in years and years. What the hell is better then herbstreit and corso calling a game with lots of college band music and the mascot going crazy while you try to have a carrer game with your guy so he can win the heisman while you try to win the national title.

I like the signs the fans hold up like "Your ad here"

Plus having the different girlfriends is cool. I have the mad ugly one with black hair right now. Some people dont like the 'impact player' feature duting game play, but I think it was a good add.

You must enjoy 3rd and 30s, 4th and 20s being converted with ease, skill and no hesitation. That seems pretty "sim" to me. It's the worst game ever put out by EA. The gameplay is somewhat better offline, but online it's shown to be one of the worst in terms of users playing.

Anyone who doubts madden 06 -- isn't used to change or the entire madden series. They addressed many huge issues with gameplay in 2005, and fixed them. Vision cone is simulation. It's not arcade, which is why so many people complain. Nuff said, pointless argument with casual gamers who stray from game to game with no real intent on really plaing them.

If you dont know if you should get it or not, wouldn't the logical step be to rent it? And make a decision based on your own play afterwords?

I havent been able to rent MAdden it's always out, but also I am waiting for the XBOX 360 so I'm not in a rush.


NCAA 2006, I noticed that you can convert on long yards 3rd and 4th down. Havent played it online. Overall I just think it is a really fun game, even if it is a slight arcadish.

Worst game by EA ever? Ha. No way, some of the bonds games arent worth the Plastic they are printed on.

I mean to emphasize sports games. They make quality products 9/10 - online or sim play for NCAA this year is by far the worst yet.

NCAA is the easiest game ive played in my life. Me and my friend played the Red River shootout in that. Final score 98-91. Madden is ok, the vision thing i got used too. Getting easy also

I played an online game for the first time today and lost 105-0

OSU sucks. I have no idea why I used them

I took my punishment like a man and didnt disconnect though. The guy I plaed against was sick he had all the jukes and option plays down pat. I dont even want to know how much practice it takes to be that good.
