Madden didnt just slap his name on a game and call it a day, he took that shite seriously and pushed for realism as much as he could.
Are we going to unnecessarily retroactively act like the Madden product isn’t widely considered by its fans to be a borderline scam with how little they update its actual gameplay?
His name has literally been slapped on it for like a decade

Well, also, he was 75 a decade ago. He may have once had a say-so in quality control for the video game. But I doubt he’s had much input in the last 10 years.

In the early 90s every sports video game was endorsed by a sports celebrity. If they had kept making good Al Unser Racing, Ken Griffey Baseball, or Bill Laimbeer basketball games then they'd be the ones known for it. The 90s Madden games one Nintendo and Sega are like 98% of those sports games, absolutely forgettable and nothing special compared to their peers. What happened was for a period in the 2000s EA was making the best sports games - NCAA Football, NBA Live, FIFA were monsters. Their NFL game still had their sponsorship deal, and it was especially good because by that time it had Madden's voice and commentary so it really seemed like watching an NFL game. I was watching the memorials last night, Madden was the first to tell you he never expected the video game to be a monster and he just got lucky as hell

That's absolutely the case for the current piece of shite calling itself "Madden" but I was really talking about it's origins on the Sega Genesis in the early 90's. I saw a documentary on it years ago.
Madden played a big part in the original idea and pushed for a true on field simulation.
As for Madden nowdays..I would barely call it a football game, but that's been discussed over and over again on the internet.

quote:The noticeable dropoff in quality coincided with him aging and taking a step back. By the time he wasn't doing the commentary on the game anymore they were just slapping his name on it. But in the franchise's prime, he had an active role in making it what it was, including his iconic voice doing commentary.
