    It should be noted that there is a bug in the second game of the season/franchise that totally shuts the psp down, requiring you to save before the end of the 2nd season game. I couldnt get through the playoffs either without game shutting down. Other than that it's a typical madden game, 3 or 4 plays is all you really need. Read the defense and then audible.

    Good, but can I really not audible to flip my play at the line of scrimmage? Or audible to the original play after changing? Those are pretty huge omissions.

    Just as good as all the other maddens, but the loading times do get irritable. Still a very good game.

    I had really enjoyed playing Madden and you have no idea how many boring commutes it has saved me from. The only time I put Madden down was to play GTA, but now that I finised GTA, back to Madden. As I started the season...I failed to remembered why I never got around to finishing a season. NOW I REMEMBER!!! For the third time in two days and no apparent reason the game made my PSPI had really enjoyed playing Madden and you have no idea how many boring commutes it has saved me from.

I am giving away the game....ok, I cant, but I will never play franchise mode again.

    This game is the best football game that i have ever played, espescially for a handheld.. Great graphics and real live action. But i gave it a 9 only for the lag and the long loads... but i can see why it takes so long (the graphics are frikin awesome) so overall i think its a great game and a must have if you own a psp.

    A great portable football game with frustrating loading and game freezes. Save your game after each game if not each quarter, you never know when the balsted game is going to freeze erasing your progress. There is nothing for frustrating than having to repaly aouple of games in your season because they are lost. If it wasn't a true Madden Game thescoring would be lower.

    If you're the patient type and can stand sitting through a fair amount of menu loading, you'll find Madden 06 on the PSP to be the best game of handheld football available on the market.

    It has the look, sound and feel of the console versions, and for that I'm grateful. Everything from the online play to the depth here makes this a great addition to PSP libraries everywhere. I just wish things could've been tuned better so that loading was faster.

    And all that loading is double-whammy. Not only does it increase the length of each game, it puts a heavy drain on the battery. You probably won't make it all the way over the hills and through the woods to grandmother's house playing Madden PSP on one charge, much less if you turn on the Wi-Fi adapter.
