Questions on Madden 06 --- help/opinions wanted!

[Flyermania]

Hello all!

First off, it has been a few years since I have played this series with any regularity. I played it a little over the weekend, but was hoping I could get some opinions/help from those of you that have had it and played it for a while.

1) Does the CPU run the ball with regularity? Do they try and establish a ground game?

2) With the sliders you use, does the CPU QB complete over 50% of their passes?

3) How are the INT's in the game? Are there too many/too few? Or are the totals pretty realistic?

4) With your settings, do you lose to the CPU on a regular basis (depending on the team you are using)?

5) Is the franchise mode still top notch? Any quirks or bugs of note?

6) Do you feel this is the best Madden in the series? Why or why not? If not, what do you feel is?

I did like what I saw...I have been playing the 2k series the past 2-3 years, but the low CPU completion % and high INT totals really prevent me from enjoying the game fully. I am more of a sim style gamer, and look for the game to be as sim as possible (knowing that no game will be 100% sim).

Is Madden 06 a good game for a sim fan?

Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Default, depends on how good on defense you are.

just depends on too many variables.

Yeah it is good, personally I don't play franchise mode that much however, online play against real human opponents is where it is at.

Best simply because it is built upon, most new additions - no.

Yes

Seriously, alot of your concerns would be better answered if you just rent the game - good luck.
