Madden should dominate in America but 2k does. U can play multiple Full seasons without simulating unlike nba, baseball & hockey. which Makes it great to play with friends. That feature alone should be the reason 2k can’t fukk with Madden. But EA refuses to make the game anything sim wise. I can play a game of 2k with 12 minute quarters and get realistic results. there is no way u can in Madden on 15 minute quarters without averaging 100+ points

yup also microsoft, sony used to have their own version of sports games

Like Microsoft had
NBA - inside drive
NFL - NFL Fever

also for baseball there were stuff like rbi baseball, all star baseball

competition is always good if not you have games with andrew bynum at center court

All star baseball was a great game..

I remember renting that game with Kobe on the cover a few times as a kid.

You just had so much more selection. It seems now one company has the exclusive rights for every sport now.
To be fair …most of those “alternatives” were always trash tho …madden and live were the vanguard even back then

The Madden franchise was on a legendary run from the 90’s all the way up to the mid-late 00’s.
You know how they got all these 4K HD remakes these days like Call of Duty,Dead Space,etc.

What if they did like a Madden 04 HD 4K remake.The same game just updated graphics. :ohhh:

It feels like EA is pumping more resources and manpower into FIFA the last decade or so even though Madden is still making bank. As long as people keep buying it, I guess they feel like they could do the bare minimum and skate by.

Well Fifa makes more money than Madden I'm sure since its selling globally. But FIFA is broken too, the defense is impossible this year and they never improve the career mode.
