What does Madden do well?

Everyone talks about what Madden doesn't do well on but I wanna know what you think it does do well on. My list would be a good sense of x and os with the audible system. Finding exploits in the d and such. Franchise mode does convey what its like to run a franchise if very remotely. The graphics are amazing. Some animations are really excellent especially with specific player styles. Add any more to the list? But without comparing it to other games.

It sells fairly well. Millions of copies each year.

It runs well online minus a few things here and there. Its now as fun to watch as it is to play. Playing Madden can give anyone basic football knowledge.

When it's not busy throwing it's flaws in your face, it can be fun. I love scoring TDs and running the football and playing D. I love to call play action plays and screens. I love to throw curls and slants. It's not like playing madden isn't fun. The obvious flaws take away from that fun. That is what makes me mad. It looks like a lot of things that drive me mad about 09 will be gone in M10. However there are other things that are already driving me mad about M10 [how every cut sceen fades to black before changing for example, to larger things like running animations].

Madden as a whole is a solid and fun game. I does have a lot of good things, but it does a lot of bad things that cloud that. Double teams exsist in Madden, but theyare UBER rare to see when they should be common [more so when you run a 3-4 base D]. Man coverage can work, but often times it doesn't. I could go on and on.

Madden brings thousands of NFL fans together every Aug at their fav Videogame Store at Mid-Night where they share their hopes about the upcoming season and dislikes about season's past.

Honestly, Madden has been the only football game I've played since Gameday '99. That said, I've always loved Madden for it's ability to bring me into the game.

All this question is going bring is trouble. Since madden has went next-gen it hasn't done much well imo. Considering what it did on last-gen systems and what it hasn't done on this gen. It hasn't even been a fun or realistic experience imo. That's my honest opinion, I can't enjoy the game. I could point out all the negatives, but it's pointless, cause it's my opinion and others might not agree with it. It's a huge combinations of things. Hope it changes this year.

Memories can be short. But as the thread OP asks: what has Madden done WELL? It's not asking for negatives, so people need not bring them. It's really not that hard, even for OS.
