Re: Teddy Bridgewater using Madden 25 to learn playbook

As far as actual plays go Madden has it relatively accurate. Where it is weak is that it is static. A real playbook evolves and changes over the course of a season, sometimes even on a week to week basis.

When it comes to actual passing plays there are a limited number of route combinations a team can use. The truth is that most of the NFL teams are running the same plays. The differences lie in tendencies and personnel groupings.

Your suggestion that a realistic NFL playbook would be too much for a Madden gamer is not true. So long as they understand how to use the concepts and a good understanding of the strategy behind it.
False.

The amount of different route combinations a team can run is by far more than a casual Madden fan can handle.

A casual Madden fan runs roughly 4 plays and that's pushing it.

I assume you don't spend a lot of time around casual players. Anything more than what is in the game now, they'd put it down and never pick it up again.
