Madden 2006

Any thoughts on what players will have the biggest grade increases and decreases...

[Maple Leafs]

Even with today's performance, expect Manning to be unstoppable (a la Vick in 2004).

[Ragone]

Think Charles rogers might take a dip in points

[SirFozzie]

The biggest dips? The idiots who buy this game and support EA.

Maybe they'll have an option to cover/not cover your field during bad weather.

Well, if it's true to life, all that will happen is a bunch of know-nothings will cry about how unfair it is before the game, but have absolutely no effect on the game.

Well, then again, that IS madden-like :)

Manning deserves a 99...I cant imagine how you cant give him one...however when he plays the patriots that rating changes to an 80.

I liked Madden 2005, alot more than previous versions of the game and even more than NCAA 2005, but what do I know.

I agree. I'm upset about the monopoly EA is pursuing, but I liked 2005's gameplay quite a lot.

well, since we're confessing to guilty madden-pleasure I have enjoyed it. It serves me at times when FOF might not, when I want to actually slam a QB down, or lay a serious lick on a receiver...

Antonio Gates will likely get a big boost. Drew Brees too.

I just keep wondering when they will lower Joey's ratings...

James Hall should get a bit of a boost.

Madden has always been reluctant to lower veteran players' ratings. For example, Robert Porcher hasn't been an effective DE for years, but he's always been up in the 90's.

I haven't bought an EA game in years. ;)

IMO they've actually made alot of improvements in Madden in game play as well as having some front office options, etc....I play it every now and then.

I hate the presentation in Madden, I'm thinking ESPN will have a way around the NFL licensing problem.

I have both games, but played ESPN much more than Madden.
