Madden = Real Life?
OK So I know there is a lot of Madden addicts out there. I am sure there are a lot of sports game addicts in general out there. We sports fans use our sports games to live a dream that we were never able to accomplish. Ok enough with the psycho babel, this article isn’t about that. It is about comparing Madden to the real NFL.
How realistic do you feel the player attributes are? I always hear people say “dude in Madden he is the man,” and trust me, I am guilty of dropping that gem myself, often. Or “I don’t know, but it madden he is fast as hell,” something along those lines sound familiar? And if you are thinking, why Madden? Couldn’t you say this for any sports game, ya I prolly could, but Madden in my favorite and most popular, so shut up. It is my article I can use whatever game I want.
Anyway… The question I am trying to ask is, Is Madden accurate? Personally I feel like they do a great job trying to make the game as realistic as possible, but lets be honest. I am sure on the lower caliber players they just give them some general attributes that they have ready. I am also sure that they overrate some players like crazy. It seems like there is always a couple every year that have no business being 99’s. You also have the fact that Madden can be played on different difficulty settings. Just because you play your franchise on Pro and had 45 picks with Fred Thomas, don’t tell me how awesome he is and that you don’t know why he isn’t a starter. “Dude I had 50 TD’s and 5000 passing yards in one season with Charlie Batch, how is he not starting in the NFL?”
In conclusion, Madden is THE best game ever made, no doubt. But don’t take everything too literally, in the end it is a video game, but GTA4 on the other hand, that is real life. Do everything you see in that game.

why isn’t there a turbo button in real life?
There is I think they call HGH
Every pick in real life is a user pick.
Madden is fun to play but its not realistic in any way what so ever
remember playing sports games and having the fatigue option turned on? No dice! As soon as my guy starts running slow, im upset, i dont care how realistic that is, turbo or gtfo
