Outside of some basics like rules and terminology, I'm not sure what anyone could learn from Madden. The strategy needed to excel in Madden is not the same as the strategy needed during an NFL football game. Can you give an example of something you've learned from Madden outside of rules & terminology?

As of Madden 09 I can't tell you anything I'VE learned, but when I first started playing Madden in the mid/late 90's it taught me some things about the game of football.

I guess you can say my idea of 'sim' w/ Madden09 is a realistic score/outcome.

The CPU AI doesn't doesn't really have any 'I' so I can see what you're saying when it comes to getting 'sim' results from the CPU.
