Amazingly, I came across this video today, and I must say that this game, minus player movements/graphics/etc is still light years ahead of where Madden is today, especially in regards to the offseason. Granted, this game didn't have a built in salary structure (at least I don't think), but I figured some of you all would remember it!

If pretty solid is defined as a completely crap Player Career mode, catchup logic that still exists, a challenge system that is useless as the results of the challenges are always coin flips that seem to have nothing to do with what the actual replay shows, still no coach mode, no way to feel like you are part of an actual football season, another game that pushes micro transactions instead of included content, etc...
yeah, they nailed it....
