There is no doubt in my mind that the first few years I played Madden (keep in mind this is 1994-95 territory) helped me understand the game and how plays worked a little better (I was about 10 or 11 at the time). In that sense, this statement is correct, and over the years it's probably gotten a lot easier for newcomers to understand as the graphics and AI (yes, really) have improved.

But the same can be said of any sports games, of course.
