My answer is still Tecmo Super Bowl.

But I was playing Madden 23 (single player) this weekend, and I wanted to give it some love. I was struck by how realistic the game feels compared to past versions. I was playing against the 49ers, and Brock Purdy was the QB, and they beat me with lots of perfectly placed 5-8 yard passes to McCaffery and Kittle. Then when I was over-focused on stopping the short passing game, Debo Samuel would take a pitch around the end for 20 yards.

And on offense, I had two separate drives end when Bosa obliterated my tackle on 2nd down and sacked me before I even knew he was there.

It did not feel like playing generic football team X. It felt like playing the 49ers. And for all we shit on Madden, that's a pretty hard thing to pull off.
