Madden NFL 06 (Xbox)

For the first time in 10 years, the Madden NFL Football franchise has revolutionized its passing game -- giving the most groundbreaking and innovative offensive arsenal ever created. The new QB vision control lets you scan the field, look off defenders, and make perfect throws within your quarterback's unique field of vision. QB precision placement lets you put the ball exactly where you want it. Madden NFL 06 brings authentic NFL passing to video games like never before.

Key features:

Major offense and passing upgrades
Quarterback Vision Control: look off receivers and make heads turn with the revolutionary QB Vision Control mechanic. Each QB has a different field of vision, depending on his rating. It's now tougher to hit receivers outside the QB Vision Control.
Precision placement: choose exactly where to throw the ball -- lead the receiver across the middle or take a little off a deep pass to set up a jump-ball.
Additional passing features: formation specific audibles -- different audibles for different situations; smart routes -- receivers adjust their routes to pick up first downs or cross the goal line; head tracking -- players now turn their heads when looking for the ball -- no more blind catches.
