What is the barrier to adding the playbooks from NCAA 14 to Madden 21? Obviously work. But with RPOs in the game, plus triple option has been around the entire current generation, the mechanics are present for all option types.
It may be a bit arcady, but would be an interesting step forward. Might be fun to run the flexbone with the ravens, or the spread option playbook with philly. At the end of the day, it’s a video game and if we can have a game where Brian Urlacher tackles Otto Graham, why not one where Jimmy G runs the straight T?
Listened to a podcast about the origins of madden a few months ago. It was noted that the only reason Madden got involved was to make the game a teaching tool as that was his passion about football. It’s a great listen, BTW, but the original playbook on the first Madden was his actual PB from Oakland.
I think expanding PBs to include college and even HS style football has its place in Madden as it opens up so many more wrinkles to the game.
