Downloaded Madden 07, because even though I don't know anything about the sport, I remember it being fun on the Genesis, like you either have to throw the ball, catch it, dodge and go for the touchdown, or if you're defending you need to block.
So I booted the 360 version, and jesus h christ, when did it get so complicated? Do all fans know what all the freaking plays are supposed to be for? Jesus!

Madden started being for hardcore fans long ago  That's why it's so pwn. Cause it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo realistic. Like, you don't even have to go outside to play the game anymore. That's how pwn it is.  shame I don't own a 360!

I fucking hate Madden games, sooooooo boring.
I've always preferred the Blitz games ...

I've always preferred fighting games or shooters. Sports are meant to be enjoyed outside where you can bruise your bones and crack your ribs. Where's the fun in numbing your thumbs while mashing bunch of awkwardly positioned buttons
Still Konami & Midway make pwn sport games

Just have to wait till Nintendo release their next console, will probably have electrodes for realistic pain or something.
As for Blitz, on the surface that would seem like the ideal choice, if not for one thing

Madden really isn't as complicated as it could be. Blocking is abstracted, defenders swarm to the ball like 6 year olds playing soccer and don't maintain gap discipline, and the route running and zone defense AI is only logical in the Twilight Zone. OTOH, the "Ask Madden" button doesn't do a terrible job of taking over the playcalling if that aspect doesn't float your boat.
Madden right now is in that sweet spot of pissing off the casual fan who wants a game and not a simulation, and pissing off the hardcore player who wants to be able to consistently apply real football concepts. Way to go EA!
