![]() Madden isn't designed for full-length football So I'm going to be directing most of my criticism towards EA's multi-million-dollar Madden series because I expect Madden to be able to do these things right. Those indie games have been getting consistently better, so there's a chance they might get more of this stuff right before Madden manages to. They just choose not to.īesides, almost everything I'm going to say in this series will likely apply to indie games as well. EA could make the definitive football video game. Bottom line is that EA has lots of money and the resources, and they have the exclusive rights to the NFL at least through 2026 (and used to have the exclusive rights to NCAA football as well). Madden, on the other hand, is developed by a corporate conglomerate with 30 years of experience making sports video games, hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, and has a staff of hundreds of people working on it, almost a hundred of which are programmers. I've also written reviews and done video breakdowns of the successes and failures of the indie football games in 2019, but I'm not going to go into the same level of nit-picking with those, since they are from studios that are severely limited by a low budget and lack of manpower. I'm doing this because I love football, and I love football video gaming, and I want our football video games to be better - whether those games come from EA, 2K, or any other developer. So there will be some constructive criticism to go along with the complaining.īefore I begin the critique, I want to say that I'm not making this content simply to shit all over Madden or EA for the sake of shitting all over Madden or EA. Lastly, I'll even propose my own suggestions for how EA could potentially resolve the issues I'm going to bring up. If relevant, I'll even address the silly ways that EA and Tiburon have tried to cover up the problems with band-aid solutions. Then I'll dissect the ways in which modern Madden games (that is any Madden since 2008) completely fails to model that respective aspect of football. I'll start by talking about how and why something is done in real football (with an emphasis on NFL football). ![]() I'm starting up a new series of blog posts and video essays dissecting the failures of the Madden NFL video games' ability to simulate the sport of football. I will discuss how and why things are done in real football.
