  I think the better question would be WHICH Madden?

  I’m personally a PS1 Madden enjoyer, but the more recent ones feel so bogged down for ‘realism’ that it sucks the fun out of the game.

  That being said, Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES (and the roster update versions online) is the best football game, hands down.

    Madden 26 on PS5, jumping right into the deep end of the pool. I heard Tecmo Super Bowl was fun but broken as hell; like it was on the honor system not to see which play the computer was going to run. Kind of an inversion of the “Computer is a Cheating Bastard” trope.

      If you’re able to, grab a rom from the Tecmo bowl updaters. Theyve tweaked the AI to choose plays you can’t see on the screen (to prevent knowing the play) and updated for current rosters/stats/etc.

      It’s well past the “pick Bo Jackson and win” stages
