Virtual Genetics and Madden 2006

Originally published by "dbarker" on 2005-08-09 17:42:00Z

'Madden Football 2006’ delivers best hit yet: While hailed as revolutionary, Madden 2006 may be getting a little out of hand:

In Superstar mode, you create an NFL star from the very beginning of his career. And that means the very beginning. It starts by choosing from randomly generated parents, such as a former NFL quarterback father and a botanist mom.

The review is gushing, giving the game 9 stars out of 10.

Until i can inject a blood sample and have it read my dna so that I can prove that back in '82, I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile, I will not be impressed.

In the superstar mode, to jack up your points in training camp, for an offensive player, use a single back or shotgun streak play against field goal block defense, light them up every time. for a defensive player use 4-3 or goaline and do a full blitz against a FB fake, HB Toss, you can get your player in between the QB and HB to cause a fumble to take to the house everytime!

How come at the prefessional institute, whenever i do the drills, my points earned aren't permanent? Is there something i am doing wrong....or is that supposed to be how it is?
