Madden's games took a sh*t, and it was Blitz. Sorry, but it seems like calling and running a play is only arbitrary: it's just a precursor to a body slam or half nelson. Also, the playbooks are ridiculous. It's game I'd play with my 7-year old--except even he didn't like it, or any of the others of it's ilk. I wanted him to play it because I thought it would be a good way to start understanding football. You don't need a great understanding of the game to play, and the good graphics and testosterone powered primal screams provide entertainment.
I love Madden for the accurate individual team playbooks, ability to call audibles, though I don't often use them, all the wonderful pass routes, the defensive control and opportunities for turnovers via interceptions and fumbles. Then there's those familiar voices. Pat Summerall did at least a few of those Madden games, too, right? I remember that summerall also did the voicework on Star Wars Rogue Squadron game.
