Madden NFL 06

I just picked this up yesterday and I have to say that I do NOT like the new passing system. There are too many buttons ot hit and I have big hands so half the time I end up screwing up one of the button presses and the ball either goes to the wrong receiver or the quarterback's vision switches to someone I don't want to throw to.

The play creation feature has still not been upgraded since it was created 3 years ago. To me, that is one of the game's best features (my running plays are unstoppable), but I'd like to see it expanded and improved upon.

Plus, the menu navigation is still as confusing and frustrating.

I'd have to agree with IGN when they give it the worst Madden score in years.

I got the game on Tuesday and I can't stand the new passing system either. It's just so annoying.

I would agree in that it is more realistic, but at the same time it is still incredibly annoying. And yes, I turned it off a few days ago.

it's got a learning curve...but once you get used to it, it really makes you feel like you're running an offense as opposed to "just" tapping buttons and watching the guys on screen do the work. It has its advantages as I use the Colts (decent passing attack

) but you really have to mix in the running game or the passing game will be kinda useless.

I found it frustrating at first....but I'm sticking with it for now.
