I bought this bundle primarily for NHL 06 and it is great. Real hockey action. Madden Football 06 is also pretty good but you have to let Madden call your plays or you get killed. Games take a long time so be prepared. Without a gamepad or similar device, the controls are too difficult to master. I haven't played the other games but my feeling from the documentation is that they are designed for folks with three hands and 8 fingers on each. What makes NHL 06 stand out is how easy it is to play in terms of controls while capturing the feel of real hockey. I was hoping for something similar with NBA 06 but it looks much more complicated.

The games would sometimes hang up while playing. I have a pretty fast PC at home and not sure why it just hangs. I have rebooted the PC and still the problem exists.

Getting all these titles around $20 or less is a steal. This is the way to go if you want the EA Sports sampler. Also, 06 was a really good year for these series. I bought it just for Tiger, but it's awesome to get Nascar, Madden, and NBA as well--I already had NHL!

This is a great deal. I had no installation problems. The only issue that I had was trying to play on-line. For some reason, the codes that came with it weren't "on-line enabled" according to EA. Their customer support isn't the best. I had to keep pestering them until they gave me new codes. Since then, I haven't had any problems.

I was a little skeptical on this purchase after reading about the install trouble above and partial satisfaction. I am not the biggest fan of all these titles but I will say that this package surpasses my expectations. I primarily made this purchase for a backup copy of "Nascar Sim Racing". Now I sit for hours and playing all the games... Great collection !!

Well I should have known better, thought it was too good to be true and you know what they say if it looks or sounds too good to be TRUE it usually is.

It appears they are just mixing anything in these boxes to make them complete I got a GD FRENCH version of games not North American. So, it hangs midway during the install when it gets to some french bs code line.

layouts/credits/creds_FR.txt hang at 53% and I tried this on THREE different hard-drives so it's not my hard-drives or OS (which is XP).

Wasted money folks, bypass this piece of junk they are just trying to unload any and all cd's no matter what the language just to get some money back at the expense of the customer base.

$10 was too much for this pack.
Madden had errors after a couple of seasons which made the game unplayable, and it's AI is worthless.
TigerWoods had errors after a couple of tournament. Again...game was playable.
Nascar wouldnt load.
NBA is ice skating live. Completely unreal.
Dont care for Hockey.

I thought about FIFA but went with PE, wont by another EA title until they get physics based AIs.
