Madden is the premier digital football game. It’s the gold standard if you will and has been for years. Player ability coded into the game is a digital reflection of their on field capabilities. So it’s a big deal both to the players and the fans, and apparently there is a lot of discussion/arguing about how well the game represents on field action. Consider that the game has been around for 34 years.
“Madden NFL (known as John Madden Football until 1993) is an American football video game series developed by EA Tiburon for EA Sports. It is named after Pro Football Hall of Fame coach and commentator John Madden and sold more than 130 million copies by 2018. It is also the only officially licensed National Football League (NFL) video game series, and it has influenced many players and coaches of the physical sport. Among the series’ features are detailed playbooks and player statistics and voice commentary in the style of a real NFL television broadcast. As of 2013 the franchise has generated over $4 billion in sales.
Electronic Arts (EA) founder Trip Hawkins conceived the series and approached Madden in 1984 for his endorsement and expertise. Because of Madden’s insistence that the game be as realistic as possible, the first version of John Madden Football did not appear until 1988. EA has released annual versions since 1990, and the series’ name changed to Madden NFL in 1993 after EA acquired the rights to use NFL teams and players."

Some of us have no idea what a ‘Madden Rating’ might be.

When it comes to sports video games, I can play Tecmo Super Bowl on the SNES. Anything beyond that is too complicated.

Is it just me or are there thousands of dots on that wall? And if there are, how did they get there?
