Pennington has better awareness than McNabb Penningtons is 89 McNabbs is 88. But McNabbs vision cone looks bigger.

I thought they looked the same.

I think Chad's fieldvision covers 1/3rd of the field and Donovan 2/3rd

So does Brett Favre, Daunte Culpepper, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and i think Steve McNair. Oh and Rothleishamberger too.

Look at it again. The guys with the biggest clones are Manning, Trent Green, Bret Farve.
our vision clone is not all that bad.

lol either hes half chinese or hes an ea baby...

braylon edwards, 84
david pollack, 80
mark clayton, 80
heath miller, 81

ROOKIES ARE HIGH
Nugent is a 85 i call it

If Bettis is an 87 than Martin better be at least 92.

bettis and martin have nothing to do with each other, bettis is just fat and breaks tackles - martin is pure skill

Ok I am really pissed, why the hell the AFC South before the East?

what the ***k man this is soooo queer yo - ea/ign whoever is gay!!!!!!!!! i need to wait even longer now of course everything of the jets is always messed up STUPID MEDIA

Bettis gets an 87 and dosent even get 1000 yards. He is much slower and 1 year older than Martin. Therefore Martin who is faster younger and lead the league in rushing deserves at least a 92.

Don't worry guys I am gaurentee the AFC East ratings will be released tomorrow, because well, it's the only division left. So AFC East will be up tomorrow night.

i think that they did the afc east last b/c the patsys are the champs, and well they do them last y know??

DOlphins: http://sports.ign.com/madden06/Dolphins.html

WELL WELL WHAT DO WE THINK??

John Abraham's rating seems right
i like Curtis Martin's rating
Shaun Ellis rating seems good
Sowell's is great with an 88
Vilma got ripped, but i can deal with a 88
Barrett got an 87, which is great!
Donnie Abraham is listed, with an 87
McCariens got ripped with an 85
Jolley seems to have a good rating with an 84
Nugent got an 84
Erik Coleman got an 83
Robertson got ripped with an 83, but ill deal with it
I'm liking Blalock's rating with an 83
Chrebet has been an 80 the past few years, and he gets a 79 this year, thank you paul hackett! *beep*

I hate the Erik Coleman rating, he should be an 88 in my opinion. Sean Taylor got a rating of 91 and Coleman had a better season than him

COLEMAN AT 83! BS! He's 87 at least!
ROBERTSON AT 83! BS AGAIN! He's 88 at least.
MOORE AT 82! ONCE AGAIN BS! He's 86 at least.
Vima I think wasn't as badly rated as those guys, but I think 89-90 is more suitable, the same for Barton.
Mark Brown coulda been mid-70's at least.
Strait's should've been a few more points higher, also.
Other than that it looks good, and they FINALLY got Martin's overall correct!

No, I didn't forget, its just that its gonna be a pain in the ass because i'll have to manually change the rosters

BAck to the soundtrack convo. I noticed theres a bunch of texas rap, WTF? They can;t put any diplomats in there or anything and whats with bump j aka mcdonalds song

I like that Papoose is in there. This dude gonna blow pretty soon.

Yea. There's gunshots and shit in the background of that song, I wonder how they are gonna edit that out?

It's a great song.

8.0

Wow 8.0. hey I subscribe how come I didn’t get the issue yet? Anyway that score sucks. But I’m still gonna buy it cause like they said I need the updated rosters and players

What the hell does XBOX magazine think they are. They sure have a right to their opinion, but we gotta face the facts their opinion sucks.

Actually their opinion is the best one I’ve seen overall. I don’t always agree with them but most of the time I do. Which ratings do u prefer? Oh and also do u have stock in madden the way u promote it and love it? relax it’s the only game out there. It will seel. Take a deep breath

Either way they can type in their review all they want, but guess what, they aren't gonna stop me from buying the game. Screw them, they don't control me!

Their's really a few things about this game that scare me. Now with them buying the rights to all the franchises in the NFL this game should have stricking resembalences to a more modernized, futuristic game. But to me it looks the same. I no i'm gonna be disappointed in this game. I still play 05 all the time but the real reason why I am buying the game is because they did tweek the game out alot better. Your Oline blocks better against passing formations {DIME< QUARTERS}. Which used to really tremendously bother me. How can I get stuffed if I'm playing a big set and their in quarters. Anyways this year they fixed it.

They also fixed the way your safties play they are now more responsive and move to the ball better.

The bump and run has been totally redone. If you are going to bump the recievers everytime your going to get beat LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG. In the NFL they hardly play bump and run only on designated players or certain play calls.

And for all those guys who are one play wonders your players actually adjust to the offence if your guys are doing the same play over and over again It will get picked off. The game has been totally redone as far as game play. Grafics wise it took a BIG HIT. It looks the same. It will be a whole different experience playing 05 and 06. People who don't think that their is much difference is sadly mistaken. They will all buy the new one once they play 06 is totally different.

There was song in Madden 05 with all of that cop sound.

What song was that? I agree i got a shit load of bump j on my mp3 player, partially because he was born in NYC, and partially because of kanye.

It was the only hip hop song in 05 and I love hip hop.

50 Cent, Jay-Z, Luda, you name it.

Oh so what you are saying is crappy music... lol

With a post like that u have serious issues. Lol.

“they don’t control me” what kind of a statement is that? I’m still buying it and I’ll tell u why. It’s the only NFL game out now. If anything u should hate the evil corporation of ea sports that buys their competition out of the race. Its funny cause I said it would happen. Madden would be demotivated after having no competiton. I think u need to be a bit more open minded about things

Why would I hate EA? I plan to be working there in the future. Seriously though, they infact do not control what I buy with their shitty reviews. Let them talk, I do not care. I am still buying the game, why? because I can. They can "hate" on the game all they want, but in the end, I am still buying the game.

Indeed, both of your arguments are more similiar than contrasting. I am gonna buy it, even if there was a 2k6 or a fever because those games suck. They are slower than ea games and don't match-up to a real football game.








Can you hook a jet fan up with an ea sports job?

Actually OXM gave every other madden a great rating. Over a 9.0 everytime. I didn’t care much for 04 or 05 madden. They felt the same as 03. also I can see the biased factor being your gonna be working there. U hate the evil microsft but love EA the same type of company? Once again issues. For instance your opinion on rap is it all sucks. My opinion on the type of music u like is its not my type of music. I can’t rate it because I don’t like that kind of music. U need to be more open minded not everything u like is the greates and everything u hate sucks

Well when I am working there, If this stie is still going around, which I hope it is, I will try my best to hook you up...
