Product Description: Madden NFL 2006
The most obvious changes to this year's edition come in the passing game, which introduces gameplay features based on quarterbackspecific attributes. Most notable is the new "Vision Cone," which simulates the QB's field of view with a highlighted cone that fans out in the direction of the current intended receiver.
The feature is designed to force the player on offense to commit earlier in the play, and to telegraph his passes much more realistically than in earlier versions of Madden, making those improbably easy "nolook" completions a thing of the past. The range of the vision cone is based on multiple factors, including the quarterback's "talent" attribute rating and the difficulty settings at which the game is being played.
Madden NFL 06 also brings a new "Precision Passing" system to the series, which allows quarterbacks some direct control over the accuracy of their passes. By bumping the left analog stick or Dpad in the desired direction as the ball is passed, QBs can aim high, low, in front, or behind their receivers, allowing them to lead the catcher away from coverage or make use of height advantages.
Other features, more familiar to gaming's most popular sports series, are also present in Madden 06, along with new replay camera angles, animations, and other presentational upgrades. There's also an offensive answer to last year's defensive "hit stick" mechanic, which allows ball carriers to try to plow through oncoming hits and blocks with a flick of commitment on the analog stick.
As usual, this edition of Madden is designed to offer a highly customizable game of football, and players who prefer the more forgiving play design of earlier editions can simply turn off the Vision Cone or nearly any other element that conflicts with their personal style of play. The game also includes all the teams, stadiums, and players of the reallife NFL (thanks to an exclusive license that takes effect for the first time this year). ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

Cons: NOTHING
It is awesome importing draft classes from NCAA Football 2006. If you insert names of your favorite players in the college football game, then their names will show up while drafting (if they were good enough for the draft). Also the "hit stick" brings an added reality. Finally, the Dynasty Mode is awesome. That is where you can import draft classes, set prices, hire coaching staff, resign players. Overall it is a 100% winner. ...

Pros: The extended Superstar mode is excellent
Cons: not many improvements from last year.
Madden 2006 is another notch in EA sports belt as the best football game of the year. Though this year they may not have been as impressive as in years past. The game play is different with the new feature that accounts for a quarterbacks field of vision. in other words you can't throw the ball where you are not looking. Though many critics have complains about this feature. I enjoy it. It adds a more authentic feel to the game. If you don't like the feature you can just turn it off. There are a couple of annoying glitches the worst is that the HB and QB draw plays are a dead give away because the QB's Feild of Vision is always looking directly forward. I would still recommend this game to any die hard Madden fan. ...
