EA SPORTS Presents Fantasy Football!

Like competing on Xbox Live® for fame, glory, and awesome prizes? Enjoy Madden NFL 06? Then this year's Fantasy Football competition by EA SPORTS™ is right up your alley!

Test Your Skills
Fantasy Football brings you closer to the game, letting you manage your own team of all-pro athletes. If it happens in the pros, you can do it in Fantasy Football. Draft a superstar, pick up free agents, make savvy trades, and drop players who aren’t performing.

Start by drafting a team of professional football players. This team competes within a league of other team owners just like you, gunning for the league championship. Then, set your lineups using various tools included in the service, follow the NFL season, and bask in the glory of your team manager skills.

Win a Trip to the Pro Bowl!
This year, EA SPORTS is giving away three trips to the Pro Bowl! Check out last season's winners. Here's how you could score this sweet prize:

• Pick 'Em: Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to predict which NFL teams will win upcoming match-ups. Your score is tallied and compared with other football fans from EA SPORTS Fantasy Football. A weekly autographed football will be awarded, and the grand champion wins a VIP trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
• Team Owner: If you are the final grand champion of EA SPORTS Fantasy Football, you also win a VIP trip to the Pro Bowl. Plus, if you win your league, you'll be awarded an Electronic Arts game of your choice.
• All Players: Just for signing up, all EA SPORTS Fantasy Football players are entered in a drawing to win a VIP trip to the Pro Bowl!

Integrated on Xbox Live
This year, Madden NFL 06 players can check their fantasy football stats, scores, and trade notices online via XboxLive! You no longer need to go to your computer to get updates. In between games in a Maddentournament, you can get all the vital updates about your fantasy football team. Plus, you can also earn virtual trophies in fantasy football for your trophy room in Madden NFL 06—an innovative addition that brings fantasy sports and online gaming together!

New Features
Three new features include the Weekly Scramble, the EA SPORTS Edge, and the MaddenView:

• Weekly Scramble: Each week, owners are asked to predict how players will do on Sunday in this trivia game. The better you are at predicting player performance, the more medals you win. Fantasy Football owners will be awarded medals visible online. So, even if you are a cellar dweller by Week Six, you can still earn bragging rights by winning the Weekly Scramble.
• EA SPORTS Edge: This all-new tool lets owners analyze their players and trades. The tool is based on a series of sliders that owners can weight differently based on what factors are important. For example, if your quarterback doesn’t play well in the rain, you might weight weather as a huge factor in their performance on game day. Possible factors include injuries, health of offense/defense, turf vs. field, and many others.
• MaddenView: Use Madden NFL 06 to predict the performance of your players! Each week, EA SPORTS will display the stats of the top NFL performers based on results from Madden NFL 06. Interactive entertainment meets fantasy football!
