What Madden NFL 06 mode lets players guide a rookie through an NFL career? Superstar Mode does.

Superstar Mode lets players create or take control of a rookie and follow that player's development through an NFL career. It expands Madden beyond individual games by presenting the athlete's path through evaluations, team selection, performance, and progression. The mode was designed to make the player feel like the central character in a football career rather than simply controlling an entire franchise.

Its opening process included an IQ test, interviews, workouts, and the NFL Draft. Players could also hire an agent and manage other aspects of a superstar's professional life. Those systems made the mode a precursor to later career-focused experiences in sports games.

Connected Careers is a much later Madden label, associated with the franchise and player career structure introduced in Madden NFL 13. The Yard is a modern arcade-style mode, while Owner Mode focuses on running a team and its business operations. Those names may sound career-related, but they are not the rookie-career feature in Madden NFL 06.
