I used to be good at NCAA, but this year for some reason, I can't win. For one, control scheme is a little irritating for me on PS2. I can't understand how one can use the "juke stick" well. The idea of using the R3 button is too much of hassle since it's practically impossible to use while sprinting (you can't hold X and use the R3 button without awkwardly using your fingers). Another problem I have is the deep pass problem where it's very easy to complete (though I have been able to defend it when the correct animation comes up). I rather be able to complete deep passes rather than have them batted down 95% of the time (Madden).

Also, the Hit Stick button, for some reason, lags. Sometimes I press it, and the guy doesn't respond until the opponent has already past him. I might not be using the button correctly, but i still expect the animation to come directly after I press the button.

Race for the Heisman is a let down. It's essentially limited version of Dynasty mode. If you have any kind of imagination, you could easily duplicated the RFTH expierence on NCAA 2005 Dynasty.

As for Madden 2006, I am not impressed at all with the new features. From what I understand, they've only added three things: Passing Cone, Truck Stick, and Superstar Mode. If Superstar mode is anything like RFTH, I will definately be angry (i'm still gonna buy it though, since sports games are all I play). Unless they've added on to the features from last year, added a Hall of Fame feature for Franchise, and put in the names on the Historic rosters, I would be impressed.

Anyways, this is the last time I will be playing any new EA Sports games on PS2, so I wasn't expecting much from them.
