Madden Challenge 2006 Platform Announcement

We have gotten the much awaited final word from EA Sports regarding the Madden Challenge. The main tournament will be on Xbox Current Gen with the Rookie Challenge taking place on Xbox 360.

I know that many of the guys that invested in Xboxes for last year's event will appreciate the change. To me this shows EA making a move to best present the best looking version of the game possible. Even though PS2 tournaments were attended more heavily, they look look crap when televised.

With Xbox they can get a much better picture for productions sake. I'm sure there were a number of factors that went into this decision...many that we will never know.

Madden 06 Virtual Filmroom - July 3rd Edition

Singleback Tight Galloway Option - The Tight formation is a set that can be effective when you have the right routes to get the full potential out of it. I wanted to look at a play that I use often in my Singleback Compressed sets. The play that I want to talk about is the Galloway Option. This play allows you to attack man or zone with no problems if you’re good at pre-reading defenses. Even if you’re not it’s still a hot play.

Shotgun Empty Trey Stick Strong Overload - The Shotgun Empty Trey Stick Strong Overload is effective against man coverage as long as you know where to throw to based on what the defense does. If you lock onto one receiver, you will be in for a world of hurt.

Shotgun 2RB 3WR HB Deep - If you know how to read defenses, you don't know need a bunch of senseless shifts just to beat the pass coverage. In this write up, we show how we like to run the Shotgun 2RB 3WR HB Deep to open up several passing options.
