Madden be one of those series that continue to be very good . there be some new feature in this game that be not in the 05 version . First be the QB Vision . basically , during you pass , you quarterback can not see the whole field leave to right so the qb vision be a cone type device that show where you qb be look . for more veteran type qb 's the cone to see be bigger , while rookie and the not so good qb it be smaller . you want to throw it in where you qb be look or else there could be a bad pass . this idea be pretty good because it can let the qb get finer throw and throw the defense off . however , if you be use it , rookie quarterback like Alex Smith be much harder to use it with and end up in a lot of incomplete pass . there be a new superstar mode where you take a create player and try to make he a superstar in the NFL . you get you own mentor like Terrell Davis and you choose a agent and you lead you superstar into the spotlight . they partcipate in a IQ test and interview to determine you rating . then you play the game and try to make you player a superstar . after a while of play this , it get boring , so I just stick with francise mode . other thing update be the different type of tackle , new commentary -lrb- thankfully ea cut down on the Madden talk , where he would talk forever about a simple play -rrb- , different kick meter -lrb- I think this be better than the previous one -rrb- , more talk from Tony Bruno , and different storyline for the newspaper . also gameplay have dramically be improve . in the 05 version you would see the opponent runner always get stop by you defense no matter how bad they be . now the defens play how the attribute of the player be . for example San Francisco can not stop the run while Baltimore can . couple of bad thing be the controller configuration . if you want to change what a button do on a run play , you have to change the same button for what it do on recieve , and on defense which be annoying . also some of the image look the same from the 05 game . personally , I love this game better than the 05 version . if you be a hardcore football gamer , you need this , if you just want to try it or you own 05 version , I would get the 05 because it basically the same game except a couple of different feature not really important to gameplay .
