Electronic Arts today said that their latest Madden NFL franchise game, Madden NFL 06, is now appearing on store shelves for the Playstation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. A PC version will be available on August 17, with a PSP version to follow on September 20.

EA has a made a few changes to this latest Madden NFL version, the company said. They’ve added a new QB Vision Control feature which gives you a different viewing perspective from which to scan the field, look for defenders and make more accurate throws. This is coupled with QB Precision Placement, which EA says will allow gamers to “put the ball exactly where you want it”.

Another new feature for Madden NFL06 is NFL Superstar. This is a new single player mode which allows you to earn one of more than 60 football player personas ranging from MVP to movie star.  Gamers will be able to do such things as choosing their parents, hiring an agent, getting drafted into the NFL and more.

Topping off the features list is integration into EA Sports Fantasy Football. Gamers will be able to check their fantasy scores, get trade notifications and earn trophies in the game. Game files will also be able to be backed up and shared with others via an online storage locker.

The Madden NFL franchise is now in its 16th year, having sold a combined total of over 43 million copies.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat.

I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
