With the addition of the addictive 'Race for the Heisman' mode, EA has crafted an instant collegiate classic. Read Review
EA Sports' popular NCAA FOOTBALL series is back with its 2006 entry, NCAA FOOTBALL 06 for the Xbox. With several major tweaks to the system plus a new gameplay mode, college football fans will be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable football game. The new mode, race for the Heisman, puts players in the role of a high school recruit dreaming about making it big in college football. Players can select from one of eight different positions to play, including quarterback, running back, and linebacker, and then run a drill that determines stats and the all-important scholarship money. Once players have created their character, they have four seasons of regular play to make as many big plays as possible to attract the Heisman trophy voters. Players can also visit their character's dorm room to view fan mail, trophies, and pictures. Several of the other modes have been upgraded since NCAA FOOTBALL 05. The dynasty mode, for example, now includes in-season recruiting, allowing players to put pressure on up-and-coming high schoolers. Four spring drill mini-games are included to help players practice skills like passing and defense. Online play is also available and includes ladders, leaderboards, and tournaments in addition to regular gameplay. Football gamers will enjoy the new modes included in NCAA FOOTBALL 06, especially the race for the Heisman. The updated gameplay and graphics plus online play, when added to the game's already large number of characters, schools, and modes, make NCAA FOOTBALL 06 a must-have game.

NCAA Football 06 is a collegiate American footballvideo game which was released on July 11, 2005. It is the successor to NCAA Football 2005 in the NCAA Football series. The product features former Michigan Wolverines standout and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard on the cover. He is the only cover athlete not to have played the year before their respective game; Howard last played at Michigan in 1991. It is the only game in the series as of 2013 to have a music soundtrack, as the other games play school fight songs and general band pieces, and the last game in the series to feature Division I FCS teams on all platforms.
Gameplay[edit]
NCAA Football 06 features a new game mode, 'Race for the Heisman'. In 'Race for the Heisman', you begin as a high school standout hoping to sign with a major college program. After choosing your position and your position-specific drill, you are offered three scholarships, or you can walk on to a school of your choice. The prestige of the offering schools depends on how you performed in your drill.
Another new feature in NCAA Football 06 is the Impact Player. Each team has three impact players, usually the three highest-rated players on the roster, but there is always at least one impact player on offense and on defense. (In Dynasty mode some teams only have two Impact Players in later years, but a third is named later in the season. Impact players will also change based on performance or lack thereof.) Some teams' kickers or punters are impact players, too. Offensive linemen are never impact players in the game. Impact players are called upon to make big plays when 'in the zone' (indicated by their white impact icon underneath them pulsating). If they execute a big play, action pauses and the camera zooms in on the tackle, juke move, etc.
Retained from the previous version are the Top 25 toughest places to play (The University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, or 'The Swamp', remains #1 in 06), a still-revamped Dynasty Mode (with a new In-Season Recruiting feature), all-time and historic teams, Create-a-School, and much more.
Featured players[edit]
The main menu screen features a highlight reel with footage of plays made by some of the most famous players in college football history, including Ricky Williams, Bo Jackson, Archie Griffin, Charles Woodson, Herschel Walker, LaDainian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, LaVar Arrington, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Tim Dwight, Randy Moss, Ron Dayne, Warrick Dunn, Lawrence Taylor, Tim Brown, and Peyton Manning.

Development[edit]
Like Madden NFL 06, which has an exclusive license with the NFL, EA has an exclusive license with the NCAA to use stadiums, logos, and team nicknames. According to NCAA Football (a not-for-profit corporation serving to represent various stakeholders for college football), the 'EA Sports video football game generates more than $8 million in royalties for NCAA Football and its members.' Also, player names are not available in the game because the NCAA would have to pay the players for naming rights so they are called by their positions and numbers, but the player can still give them names.
Music[edit]
Prior to the release of NCAA Football 06, the only music featured in the game were fight songs of several major colleges. These would play at random, however, the user-selected 'favorite team' would always have their fight song played first whenever the game was first started. NCAA Football 06 was the first and last to include licensed music to keep the series in uniform with other EA Sports releases such as Madden NFL and the NHL series. This format was dropped for NCAA Football 07, with the soundtrack returning to college fight songs. However, it was possible to turn off the licensed music and listen to the fight songs in NCAA Football 06. The music features mainly college rock, punk and post-punk selections, including Bad Religion, The Clash, NOFX and The Mr. T Experience. It is the first NCAA game to feature the option of non-fight songs in the menus.
