Additionally, the AI was suspect, and with little practice could be easily exploited, with computer opponents rarely acting in character.Īnd so it has gone with Madden since then. While Madden looked good, it didn’t always play that way. Many players felt that Madden, along with the majority of EA Sports titles, sacrificed the realism and fundamentals of their chosen sport for the sake of flashy pyrotechnics and over the top play. It wasn’t long however before both the Madden series as well as EA Sports games in general began to receive a fair amount of criticism. New versions of the game brought jaw dropping graphics, amazing sound, and a presentation that was second to none. Despite the fact that the Sega Genesis, by today’s standards, is beyond primitive, those first two Madden games really helped usher in the gaming standards we are currently enjoying. The following year, EA released a sequel to Madden, again for the Genesis, and as fun as the initial version was, that second offering was even better, adding new features like individual player names, more animations and abilities, rating, stats, and plays. The game seemed to cover every aspect of football, from the running and passing, to tackling and suffocating defense, everything about the game was covered.
