Madden is maybe the best sports franchise out there. As much as I loved Blitz (the old ones, nothing after 2000) Madden just has far too much going for it.

How can you like that game madden. It's all about Blitz baby! Can you smash innocent victims in Madden? NO! But you can in Blitz.
Hence... BLITZ IS THE BEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER!!!
I love Blitz the most, but then again, i love all of Midway's ridiculous games(Blitz, Hoopz, that NHL game...and i think they bought NBA Jam! from Acclaim...or Acclaim bought it from them...i dunno)
Sales prove its the most popular, not the best. That's based on opinion. I know Midway's games are trash, and promote gratuitous violence, that's why i love 'em

I would say that Fifa rivals Madden, not because of game sales, but because of game play. I'm not a soccer fan, and i really can't stand to watch the sport because they don't score enough....but the Fifa series of games is actually a very very excellent group of titles.
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.
Blitz is mindless bone-crushing action. I dont even know why they have a playbook. Blitz may be the worst interpretation of football ever. But i friggin love it!
