I got bored of my Chargers franchise - i started wasting everyone by 50.

I took Green Bay - need some rebuilding soon, and i might get the chance to play in snow. Would you believe it, game 1 i lose Brett Favre for the rest of the season - and get beaten 26-20 by the Lions.

On the upside, a few weeks later i threw an interception with Aaron Rodgers, and he smashed the corner returning the pick for a fumble. Hilarious

I like that kid Rodgers.

Young and talented - the perfect Franchise QB. You can easily build him up.

:lol: Damn.

I always hate losing the 'Bowl - my fans are so fickle that I can in it three years in a row, but the moment I don't make it or I lose it...The attendance drops to about 50%! :lol:

it took me a lot of work too get myself 15-2 for the season lol i thought i was a sure thing

 

[Dr Crane]

My Packers are 7-2.

My second loss was a 38-14 arse kicking by the then winless Saints. Since then i've edged the Vikings, Steelers and Falcons, and won a really low quality game against the Bengals - that was the game with the Rodgers forced fumble.

 

[douglasallen91]

man i am stuck with travis henry at running back at the moment aka i have no running game now.

 

[Dr Crane]

Try being Houston. Nothing works.

 

[Parki]

lol.... 2nd year after getting the bad news bears to the superbowl, i changed ownership to the texans, traded david carr to the packers for their first round draft pick, also traded dominick davis to the vikings for rnd 1 round 3 draft pick

i had 7 draft picks in the first 3 rounds, got an 84 overall qb, an 85 halfback, an 80 center and fixed up my line a bit, so yeah, the texans arent all that bad now

 

[Eelementary]

I haven't played it for a while...

But I was cheering when I managed to get my favourite player (Daunte Culpepper) by trading for Moss...

Why? Well, I had Johnson and Owens as back-ups lol.

 

[Godz Illa]

I started up my first superstar yesterday, and scored 90% on my IQ test. Tbh I'm thinking of quitting now while I'm ahead.

Hi guys.

I have recently felt the need for an NFL game.

I use to have Madden 2004 and loved it VERY VERY much, but traded in for NFL 2K5 which I have not had as much fun with.

One thing I loved about Madden 2004 was all the stats it kept of your, and your friends profiles.

So now I have the questions of:

1. Should I get Madden 2004 or 2006?
2. How much has gameplay changed since 2004?
3. Does 2006 have a similar profile system with the stats etc..?

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

2006 is by far the best madden, nfl2k5 is still the best looking game and imo is my favorite football sim but madden 06 is incredible..i play online quite a bit and the cheesers no longer dominate..you have to read the defense in order to win.

Vision cone has solved alot of problems and finally makes every qb feel different.

 

[Jono078]

I played a few matches today of ESPN, learnt all the controls again, and im starting to think I may not need to buy a Madden again.

Things im looking for in my games now are ones with good stats (Madden 2004) and a Career mode (Like FIFA 2004's).

Also could anyone link me to a good article on what Superstar mode is ? I was looking at pics of Madden 2006 and Superstar mode looks interesting.

EDIT: Also can you turn the QB vision thing off to make it like all the other NFL games?

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

yea you can but vision cone makes the game more real.

 

[Dr Crane]

I don't find it does. I never throw to a reciever without looking where they are on the field - i'm using my eyes like the cone represts without driving myself nuts twiddling the right stick.

I don't have a link for ya...

Essentially, Superstar mode sees you create a superstar based on your parent's attributes. You give him a position, name him, tell him which college he came from, give him his height and weight and all that.

Once that has happened, you get drafted into a random NFL team, and your job is to play well enough to get noticed so you can get lots of interviews, movie offers, endorsements and better agents.

I just recently for the first time past the first season - I made a short RB, who won all the RB Awards, including the NFL's MVP and NFL Rookie of the Year.

Now, he has like 4 endorsements and has moved from an apartment into a loft. His character traits, such as marketability, popularity and co., have sky-rocketed as a result of all the awards and winning the Super Bowl.

It's OK, but soon gets tiresome, really.

Thats not really realistic, I think the point he was making is that in real life a QB doesnt watch from a screen which shows the whole field, so in order to replicate the challenge they face, you can only accurately throw to what your QB can see.

Its a real challenge, and I still havent mastered it (despite being in 2010 in my franchise and having 2 superbowl victories).

 

[Dr Crane]

True, but if we were going to get really realistic we would play from a ground level view.
