Madden NFL 06 is an American football video game released in 2005. It is the 16th installment of the Madden NFL series by EA Sports named for color commentator John Madden. It is the first Madden game for the PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360 and was a launch game for the 360. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is on the cover. Madden 06 introduces the Superstar mode which allows the player to create and take control of an NFL player from his rookie year all the way to retirement. An athlete can be created by evaluating pairs of judging based on their IQs occupations and hobbies whether their child would excel in the NFL or by importing a player. Superstar mode is essentially Madden's Franchise mode seen through the eyes of this athlete. Rather than manage the team's front office the player manages the career of his athlete.
