Saints on Madden '06

Yea I don't care to much on player ratings. By the time you win the Superbowl and practically send your whole team to the ProBowl, all of their ratings will skyrocket anyways. I have more fun making 60-70 guys into 80-90 players. Then sell high and acquire tons of draft picks and develop them into superstars.

I have an XBox but not online. I'm considering it though... we'll see how fast I get bored playing the computer.

How do you get roster updates?

I'm surprised that Stallworth is still in the eighties, and they slighted him on his speed, but other than that it is a fair team rating. They are still good enough to win online. I'm rated 20th onlinie right now because i can win consistently with them, because they are a relatively low rated team.

yeah i only put AMac in when im blowing someone out. His deep ball is inaccurate as hell, but has a strong arm and is agile, of course.

Am i the only one here with XBox?????

Slighted Stallworth on speed? Isn't it a 97?

You get online for Madden, and the first thing they do is update your roster. Then it asks if you wanna save it to memory card and you say yes. Then when you go to play, just download the online roster, not the regular roster. They are separate on the memory card screen, and you will not help yourself by downloading the regular roster again, it will be the same thing you were trying to update. I suaully erase my regular roster then save the online one again as a regular roster to avoid that problem.

I have X-Box, but have never been online with Madden. What did you mean about paying for online? Does it cost extra than normal service? Do they do roster updates for prior games also? (Will they have a 2006 roster available for a 2005 game or will they only have roster updates for the current game?)

You have to pay for an Xbox live subscription, while PS2 is free to go online. that's one of the reason I choose my sports games for Ps2, and everything else for Xbox. Also, I doubt you will be able to update rosters for this year into last year's game. Don't quote me though, cause I haven't tried it so I am not 100% certain, but I don't think you can get online into this year's game without actually having this year's game. You may still be bale to log into last year's game but more than likely it will only have last year's updates.
