RAC Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we'll be releasing some tidbits and a couple of screens for Madden & NCAA 2006 tomorrow night at 8 PM eastern over at www.MaddenNation.com . I know we have a lot of Madden fans here at the site, so I thought I'd let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 anyone know if they announced the cover man yet? Seems like McFlab and Brady are on that website, wonder if its either of them, see if the curse comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins4life234 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I think it is brady, also I can't wait until the 15th when a lot of info will be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Montana Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Sure the cover boy is not LaVar? He's already had to go back under the knife. :doh: I don't think it's Brady. He doesn't seem like the type that would want it, and it's the type of thing that kind of goes against the "Patriots way". He would probably insist that the enitre Pats team be put on the cover. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAC Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Originally posted by forbeskin What console are the screenshots coming from? Good question. We haven't received them yet so I can't be for certain until tomorrow. I'll make sure to note that when they are posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red21skins Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 For some reason, i can see "Big-Ben" on the cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I'll be sure to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUHeckler Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by red21skins For some reason, i can see "Big-Ben" on the cover I second that. Brady I think would be too obvious of a choice, they dont want a choke artist (McNabb), Vick was already on, and Manning I think is liscensed with that one XBox football series - the name isn't coming to me right now.

Spaceman Spiff Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I hope this games more realistic in off field things. I want to be able to rename my QB #7 Ron Mexico and get him tested for herpes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hopefully Madden will raise the bar this year -- 2005 was a major disappointment. And I thought I heard they weren't calling it Madden anymore -- it was going to be called NFL Football instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 EA Sports needs to overhaul the commentary, create-a-stadium, and refine the graphics greatly for me to be completely satisfied. With that being said, I'll be first in line in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBkilla56 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Well there is no competition anymore so Tiburon can jerk off for the next 10 years or so until the contract ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzfan4life Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 MMMMMMMM.....madden this is great news cant wait, id like to see the info on NCAA as well, as much as i love madden, NCAA is always kickass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzfan4life Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by QBkilla56 Well there is no competition anymore so Tiburon can jerk off for the next 10 years or so until the contract ends. There is competition just not "NFL" competition. Other football games will be out, such as the Blitz playmakers game with "real" off the field story lines and stuff. And im sure there will be people who make downloadable rosters for those games with real NFL people, jsut like you can do with NCAA. So if madden sucks, im sure they will lose sales, so i doubt they will sit back and dick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Madden -Vision Passing. No longer will you your friends be able to drop back 40 yards and throw to a reciever the QB isn't even looking at. The QB's head will swivel, with a cone of vision representing which way he is looking, and it will affect accuracy. You control it with the L2 and R2 buttons. Of course, the premier pocket passers, like Peyton Manning, will have bigger cones, and vice versa. -Improved graphics and animation -XBL and PS2 online, game due sometime in August. NCAA -Become A Legend mode. You are a HS grad, competing with other kids for scholarships to the schools of your choice. You will go through Madden like mini-camp drills to woo the scouts. This mode also features a familiar NFL 2K5 like bonus, with a Dorm Room where you can buy new TV's, couches and the like. If you do well enough, you can import yourself into Madden 2006 and become a high draft choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 In NCAA 2006, do you get the money to buy TV's from boosters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchogs Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by codeorama That sounds so awsome, particularly the NCAA legend feature... WOW. yep. now i "have" to get both!

redskins4life234 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I would hope they have Legend mode on madden, be coming out of college, to combines, get drafted, the more money you get payed, the quicker your ratings go up, etc. Thatd be really cool, you can choose to retire, because halloffame, thatd be so cool and make so much money.

If they implement it right, it could go a long way in making the game more realistic. I can't wait for more info on this game. Hopefully they will have even more new features.

TODD Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 "Vision passing" done right would be great. It could really overhaul the simplified offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 they really need a Hall of Fame in madden, with current members and 'virtual members'. They have the greatest players section in the PC version, which I like, but its not really based on stats, but rather on games played for some. Ty Law is the only DB after 12 season in my game, but Smoot retired for me with more INT's and Sacks, but he had 300 less tackles and less games played. Jansen and Thomas retired for me both with 500+ pancakes, but they didnt get in cause they didnt have 250 games. And QB's, anyone over 20,000+ yards gets in or something, cause Brunell got in :doh: The new features do sound awesome though, I like offseason stuff just as much as gameplay, and thought madden 05 made great strides with offseason. They do need to edit the create-a-stadium. Also, PLEASE release NCAA for the PC, I like having real player draft classes, and not these made up guys.
