Madden NFL 2006 Running Backs Ratings (Madden 06)

2005 NFL Season / Madden NFL 06

Madden NFL 2006 shipped in summer 2005 for the 2005 NFL season. Launch ratings are set before the season is played, so they reflect the previous year’s performance - a player’s breakout shows up in the next year’s game.

Madden NFL 06 released August 8, 2005 with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb on the cover. EA's 99 tier ran deep: Adam Vinatieri, David Akers, Ed Reed, Jonathan Ogden, Peyton Manning, Randy Moss, Ray Lewis, and Shane Lechler.

Pittsburgh won Super Bowl XL, 21-10 over Seattle, Hines Ward named game MVP. Shaun Alexander won regular-season MVP and Offensive Player of the Year with 1,880 rushing yards and a then-record 27 rushing touchdowns. Brian Urlacher won Defensive Player of the Year, and Cadillac Williams and Shawne Merriman won the rookie awards.

Cover man McNabb tore a sports hernia, played nine games, and watched the Eagles fall to 6-10, the curse in full effect. Alexander was the season's over-delivery and earned the next year's cover, where the curse would find him too.
