Madden Cover 27

Madden is a joke these days. The PS3 era started the first obvious indications they were getting lazy and had no pride in their work. Madden 06 was a pathetic first console offering for the PS3. No depth, not even a commentary track.

Back when they were making the jump to the first PlayStation, EA didn't release a Madden because they were embarrassed by how poorly it played. The jump to the PS2 was one of the best Maddens ever.

Once the PS3 era started, things barely improved. And once Ultimate Team landed and microtransactions became profitable, that was the end. Gameplay became secondary. Hype became far and away primary.
 
Loved the early Madden Games for Sega Genesis. It certainly evolved into something other worldly and still buy one for xbox1x every few years or so.

But to me this game was the funnest to play.

 
Problem #1 - it's a horribly unflattering angle - no professional marketing person should have approved that image, let alone a photographer taking that shot at such a low angle for a massive crotch-focus and minimal face recognition.
Probably a DEI duo there.
Problem #2 - It's insulting to the iconic Jordan image to try to prematurely anoint Caleb as even in sniffing proximity to being associated with it. Utter fail.
But who cares, it's just video games for sheeple.
