Madden is a great game with incredible graphics. QB precision makes game much more interesting. Great with friends.

This game is great, period. I love the QB Vision, Hit Stick, Truck Stick, Superstar Mode, and the list goes on and on. The graphics are outstanding, and the little extra things they put in there are terrific. (I love seeing the lineman argue with the ref over if the ball carrier got over the first down line!) Overall, I love this game and almost play it daily. A truly great football game.

GO FALCONS!

This review is from: Madden NFL 2006 (Video Game)

As bad as the QB precision thing sounded on paper, it actual makes the play more involving and realistic. Having to scan for your reciever really does make it feel more like you're a real QB. Admittedly, it adds a little bit of a learning curve, but it's worth the extra effort, even though you have the option to disable it.

I also like the fact that you can edit the rosters. This lets you account for players that performed much better or worse in real life than predicted by the game designers.

Minor complaints: The running game, from my brief experience, and from the testimonials of others, is not quite as good as the one in the ESPN football game. However, I have a GameCube, and therefore no choice. Also, the announcers can be slightly annoying, and sometimes bizarrely inappropriate.
