The Quest to play every matchup possible

Has anyone ever done this? What I'm going to do, or attempt to do, is play every team against every other team throughout the Madden season.

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever done this, and how it went.

Yes I have done this the hardest part is just choosing what team to play on in the matchups. I will be doing it this year as well.

Re: The Quest to play every matchup possible

496 games using the algorithm n(n+1)/2 where n is 31. Derived from the sequence 31+30+29+28+...+2+1. This works because the first team would have to play 31 other teams and the second would only need to play 30 because it already played the first, and so on and so on.

Its doable, it would just take a long time. Also you would need to keep close track because if it were me, I would not want to just go down the list alphabetically, that would get get repetitive and monotonous.

This is an excellent idea, and I encourage you to do it.

It's 496 games, which requires playing 1.36 games per day over 365 days until the next Madden comes out. That amounts to about 10 games a week. You can do it!

I would suggest stocking up on Strat-O-Matic scorepads to keep stats of all games.

Its what I do every year, stats are so much cooler when they are real and not simmed.
