But the main thing is, the gameplay in Madden 06 is better than ESPN 2k5, which drove me crazy with all the interceptions (even with sliders turned to the absolute minimum) and low completion pct.

I hear ya, man.

Just picked up the game today and I must say it's solid, even as a 2k5 addict. I think it helps that the last Madden I owned was 2003 and the last NCAA I owned (and still own) is 2004. 2006 plays real tight, I'm pretty impressed.
