I loved Madden games back in the 1990s. On the weekend I would go to blockbuster and rent Madden 93,94,95 etc and play it on my SEGA.

I'll say this, John Madden football greatest days were when they had competition to push their product. Now the game just sucks to me. Other than graphics and sound quality there really hasn't been any real change to the actual football game. It seems that creativity went out the window with the competition.

It's funny that in this piece when they mention Tecmo Bowl they actually show Tecmo Super Bowl. Both are good but there are pretty large (speaking in NES terms here) differences between the two. Anyone who has played both can easily discern one from the other.

Dpal93 Bullshit. Better animations, better AI, better presentation. 2K football was a monster, and Madden only survives today due to the exclusive license. Had 2K been able to continue Madden wouldn't even exist today. The game is better now, but it was complete shit for a long, long time.

While I've played all the but the original computer version and appreciate the franchise as a whole, this documentary conveniently leaves out the fact that they only survived through lawyers after NFL2K was submarined by licensing rights between the NFL and EASports. The helmet cam was the best spin on virtual play and Madden had no answer for the popularity. (notice it was not shown) Had it not been for economical politics, the Madden franchise may have died a slow death at that point. I know, because I was die-hard until I saw them bested that year.
