Item Description

Madden NFL 06 is the year Madden made you look downfield. Its headline feature, QB Vision Control, put a cone of vision in front of your quarterback: throw inside it and the ball went where you aimed, throw outside it and accuracy fell apart, so reading the defense and moving your passer's eyes became part of every snap. It turned into one of the most argued-about features the series ever shipped, it could be switched off for players who wanted the old feel, and EA retired it for good with Madden NFL 09, which leaves 06 as the definitive version of the idea.

The bigger long-term addition was Superstar mode, which debuted here. You create a player and manage his entire NFL career from rookie year to retirement, a concept that grew into the career modes sports games still build around. Precision Passing let you lead receivers with directional input, and the new Highlight Stick gave ball carriers an offensive counterpart to the previous year's Hit Stick, with big-play moves that came with a real fumble risk. Hot routes, Playmaker controls and the deep Franchise mode all returned.

Donovan McNabb fronted the cover, and the rosters capture the league in 2005 with all its stars in their primes. The EA Trax soundtrack leaned on mid-2000s rock from the likes of Foo Fighters, Disturbed, Godsmack and Avenged Sevenfold. Critics scored the PlayStation 2 version highest of every platform, the game won Best Sports Game at E3 2005, and it sold more than six million copies across all systems, which says plenty about how many living rooms ran Madden that fall.

For a PS2 football shelf, 06 is the oddball year with a personality all its own: the vision cone, the first Superstar career and a snapshot of the NFL just before the HD era took over.
