Six Ways to Make Madden More of a Simulation

10:22 AM - February 13, 2017 by RaychelSnr

Many football fans purchase Madden year after year with the lofty hopes that the game will mirror the actual sport they love as closely as possible. And while the folks at EA continue to take strides in the right direction in terms of making this dream a reality, there are still a number of areas in which improvements are needed if the game is ever going to measure up to what we see on the field on Sundays (and Mondays and Thursdays and every other day of the week NFL games are now held).

This is a fantastic idea, and wouldn't be too hard to implement either.

From the passing to the running to the defense to the commentary to the overall presentation. It just feels like every year is a roster update with no real changes. In my opinion, NFL 2K5 is STILL the most complete football ever made.

I think with all the mods and customization options, Madden PC is fantastic. It's a great community that improves on something, slowly but surely, every single year.

As for today's Madden; I think they're making EXACTLY what they want. They're catering to the online guys and selling supplementary content. That's the focus, and has been for quite some. Part of their audience is alienated by that, but EA has the right to do as they please.

I'm moving on at this point. The football game I want doesn't exist, and I don't think it's coming back. With my PC franchise completely played out, I'm on to The Show.

Is there much difference between advancing week stats in a game or starting a game and swimming to the end? Which is better for sim leagues?
