Madden NFL 06

The included gameplay modes are exhibition games, franchise mode, and online head-to-head games via Xbox Live. Franchise mode has been simplified, losing some features from previous versions, but offers more detailed stats tracking. New gameplay features include the truck stick and quarterback vision, although QB vision is disabled by default. Other features like owner mode and player creation are not included in this version.

The playcalling interface has been redesigned with a new layout, organized into categories such as suggested plays from John Madden or the team's coach, formations, and key players. A new kick meter also adds to the game's realism.
