Re: Should I buy this game?

The only thing I love about Madden is the Franchise Mode of the game. But then I am a management major so I could be biased.

Oh, and about that long bomb glitch, I found a way around it. I used SEA as my team and resign Koren Robinson on my team. While they clamp there best SS and FS on Darrel Jackson, they left Koren with an average player (against Cardinals). Since when it comes to long bombs, Koren has a better speed than his guard, he always outrun him so that would give me space for a long bomb and complete it about 80% of the time. The only thing I could recommend is find a WR that has a good catching ability and speed and you should be fine.

Don't get it if you do play online. Real simple....too many cheesers out there.
The "Giveaway Glitch" also is present in offline games, FYI. It's an across-the-board game-wrecker for me, especially since I love to use the Coach Cam offline. Always have, always will.

I sold Madden 06 for $35 on eBay this morning, less than eight hours after I listed it. Paid $40 for it new, so the final cost to me was about the same as a rental.

Bummer. Madden was good until the glitch reared its ugly head. It's inexcusable, like a baseball game tipping off the type of pitch BEFORE it's thrown. People would go nuts over that, so why are people excusing this glitch?

Before the alibis come flying, this glitch is real. Very real.

Take care,
PK

I have a $42.00 credit at EB plus the $5 that came with the preorder. I'm not a Madden *****, nor am I a huge fanboy of the game. Just a casual gamer who likes to mess around with sliders and stuff. I doubt I'll notice things like LB #1 is not playing the proper zone while LB #2 is dropping into man coverage when I called a zone. I also won't notice who's uniform is incorrect or that Ray Lewis's armband is higher in real life. Is the game that broken, or can fun be had for the casual NFL fan. I've read almost every review on this board and it seems evenly split. Is it worth it to buy, or should I just save my $3 + credit and buy something else at a later date?
there is fun to be had with madden 06, as there is fun to be had in 05,and 04...this game is not worth it's $50 price tag, if it were $20 then i'd say yeah buy it, but at $50 there is no way i could reccomend the purchase of madden 06.
