Manifesto? WTF! ~ I never heard of this.

I loved 05 on the Gamecube It's by far the best franchise I have played, although I have only played 05 07 and 12 on the main consules. I played other franchises on the PSP, but those don't count.

The Manifesto was a little handbook that had coach settings, draft tendencies etc. for a 32 team franchise, so you could get the best out of Madden 05.

Personally I enjoyed Madden 05 and 07 the most.
