  • Summary: Featuring a deeper playbook that covers both ends of the court, NCAA March Madness 06 delivers the ultimate strategic basketball experience. Players can dominate rivals with an authentic brand of defense and push the ball on offense with an enhanced Floor General Playcalling system that features more sets than before. With the all-new EA SPORTS Lockdown Stick, defense creates offense by allowing players to pressure the ball, force turnovers and harass opponents on the court. Expand

  1. The gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel.
  2. The game very accurately recreates the college atmosphere, though the spotty visuals and lacking dynasty mode don't let it become as good as it can be.
  3. It's not often that you can say it, but this year the college game actually comes off better than the professional title. NCAA March Madness 06 features a more complete presentation of the emotional and tactical facets of the game.
  4. A great college atmosphere topped on with some pretty solid gameplay.

    Perfect, sheer perfection on the court, and an awasome assortment of extras to unlock as you progress throughout the game. I would rate it a 15 but you, don't go that high. Expand
