Fair

What the heck was EA thinking?

This stripped down joke of a football game is a disastrous disappointment. The visuals are marginally better than the X-Box version and not worth half the price. Please save your money, if you have the X-Box 1 version keep it and wait for a hopefully better effort from Augusts target release of Madden 2007. There is just not much to say about this other than shame on you EA Games for pushing out the worst iteration of the Madden Football franchise ever that can only be described as insulting to Madden fans and the gaming world in general.

Ok... Now, I'm a sports game fanatic. I LOVE THEM. And I know I will probably catch flak for this, but the truth must be told. If 2k Sports were making a football game as well, it would be 20 million times better than Madden 06 for the 360. I can honestly say that Madden 06 for the original xbox is 100 times better than the 360 version. You can't even challenge a play? That's a good feature! But beside that. The AI is horrible. Yes the graphics are nice... sorta.. but there are WAY too many flaws in this game.

Honestly, you will still rent it, because it's the only NFL game you can get. EA Sports bought the rights to NFL games for the next few years. NFL 2k5 for xbox, was the greatest football game to date. The PRESENTATION was AMAZING. Sure, there were flaws, it wasn't perfect... but imaging a NFL 2k6 on 360. Would be great.

WHAT?
HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE A GAME THIS BAD.
THEY DUMBED IT DOWN FROM THE XBOX VERSION SO FAR IT HAS BECOME RETARDED.
THEY TOOK A LOAD OF GAME MODES OUT OF IT. THEY TOOK OUT ALL THE STUFF THAT MAKES THE GAME GOOD.
I GAVE THE GAME BACK THE DAY I GOT IT.
DO NOT GET THIS GAME UNDER ANY SIRCUMSTANCES!
