Playing Madden 06 on its highest level (All-Madden) is painstakingly difficult. Trying to keep an undefeated season intact can make the average gamer lose days worth of sleep. Trying to keep said season intact at 6 in the morning after staying up the entire previous night is absurdly different. Throw an errant pass, and watch the defense run it back for a touchdown. Miss the hole the blockers create for you, and watch the defensive line tackle you behind the line of scrimmage. Time your kick incorrectly and you miss the extra point.
Right now, in the NFL Superstar mode, I am in my 4th year in the league. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted me in the 1st round. Practices and gameplans haven't been necessary to do, since the only gain from them is slight gain in awareness for the particular play ran. However, in All-Madden mode, they are a lifesaver. After all the pre-game activities, Sunday came along. So did San Diego. Game day.
Week 13: San Diego Chargers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Chargers are a very strong team on both sides of the ball. LaDanian Tomlinson is one of the top backs in the league, and their defense kept bringing up extra men in the box to stop the running game. Tampa Bay averages 198 rushing yards per game in 2008-2009 season. However, with the extra men constantly stopping the running game, it was hard to get anything consistent. We only managed a total of 63 yards, but a key touchdown in the 4th quarter sealed the deal. Final Score: San Diego 7 - 16 Tampa Bay.
