After playing Madden NFL Football 2006 for the second time, I found it just as enjoyable. In fact, I would say I had even more fun this time. The first time I played the game, I just understood the basic controls. However, the second time I played, I was able to use advanced controls, such as "hit-stick". I talked about in my first entry that i found the defense to be a little bit boring, yet after learning some of the more advanced controls, I started to have more fun on defense. Injuring opposing players is now my forte. However, I would still argue that it is much more fun to play on the offense. If I was part of the game development, I would look to see what could be done to make the offense a more enjoyable experience.
One aspect I didn't mention in my first blog that I like about this game is the situation it puts you in. unlike many games that are made for single player, Madden works great multi player. In fact, it adds an element to it, as you are competing against your friends.

Good Entry. overall I enjoyed how you concentrated on the actual gameplay and what you did or didn't like about it. It would be good to see you explain a little more about what was going on and what you liked about it. I have never played this game so if you talked a little bit about what it was like to throw the football or what you had to do on defense and why it would be possible to just walk away. It would also be nice to see you compare this madden to others, if you have played them.
