He receives an estimated $2 to 3 million each year for his endorsement but describes himself as 'never a good player' of Madden, and prefers to watch others play.

He brings up concussions, helmet-to-helmet hits and gimmick quarterbacks. A digression on how the -era used to frustrate 's teams with short linebacker drops becomes a lecture on the obsolescence of the fullback, which then morphs into a short aside on player character. “Madden recalls a time in San Francisco when a player rushed into a hotel room asking, 'Where's Madden?'

When people pointed to the commentator, the player said, 'No, not that Madden. I want the game!' ”— Los Angeles Times, 2002EA estimates that the series has five to seven million dedicated fans, and an underground circuit of Madden cash tournaments exists. In 2010 estimated that '50 percent on up' of NFL players are Madden players, who play in the league with or against childhood heroes they once chose to play as in the game. Players typically play as themselves regardless of their electronic counterparts' abilities and immediately check new releases of the game for changes in the more than 60 ratings of their talent. They often complain to Madden and EA about allegedly inaccurate ratings (only has told him that the game rated him too high), or ask for changes in their. Such complaints began as early as 1990, confusing the broadcaster, who did not contribute the player statistics for that year's version due to lack of time.Coaches and players at all levels of the sport say that Madden has influenced them, and recommend the game to learn football strategy and tactics, practice plays and assignments, and simulate opponents.

Use Madden-like visual cues to more closely resemble it, and the NFL considers the series its '33rd franchise' because each week during the season EA Sports receives the same searchable film database of every play that each of the league's 32 teams do.

Most versions of Madden give a player 30 years with their franchise, sometimes with an opportunity to apply for the Hall of Fame at the end of the simulation.2000s Madden NFL 2000 Madden NFL 2001 featured a segment called 'Great Games' where one would be put in a situation where they control one team and would have to win the game with a set amount of time. If the player wins, they unlock either a new team or a stadium. Overall, there were more than 60 teams and over 80 stadiums in Madden NFL 2001. Running back is the cover athlete.Madden NFL 2002 featured for the first time Create-A-Team where one would make a team and play with that team in either Play Now or Franchise mode. It also featured Create-A-League mode but it never caught on. Create-A-Team was not featured in Madden NFL 13 and moving teams was first featured in Madden NFL 2004 called 'Stadium' in the Franchise mode of the game.

Madden NFL 2002 was the 2nd highest selling game in 2002. Quarterback is the cover athlete.Madden NFL 2003 There are multiple modes of game play, from a quick head-to-head game to running a team for a whole season or even multiple seasons. Online play, which was a new feature for (in this version there are also mini-camp challenges) was only available for users of the console, console, or a PC until early. Running back is the cover athlete.Madden NFL 2004 Also, starting with, EA Sports created the new Playmaker tool, using the right analog joystick found on each of the adjustments previously unavailable in prior installments of the franchise. One such adjustment includes the ability to switch which direction a running play was going without changing the formation. Prior to the Playmaker tool, the Player could only call one of four available 'hot routes.'

With Playmaker and the use of the right thumb stick, the player is given 4 additional Hot Route options. When the quarterback has the ball the Playmaker Tool can be used to make receivers alter their routes mid-play. When running the ball on offense, the runner can control the direction in which the blocker is going. Defensive alignment adjustments, however, were not available leading to obvious imbalance in favor of the Offensive player. Quarterback is the cover athlete.Madden NFL 2005 In, EA Sports ran a campaign with the Theme 'Fear the D' emphasising their improvements on the 'other side of the ball.' In an attempt to re-balance the players experience, EA gave a Playmaker Tool to the defense. Similar to the offensive Playmaker Tool, the defensive Playmaker allows the player to make pre-snap defensive adjustments.

EA Sports further utilized the right analog joystick on defense by creating the 'Hit Stick', an option on defense that allows the controlled player to make big hits, with a simple flick, that increases the chances the ball carrier will fumble. Also introduced for the first time is the 'Formation Shift.'

This new feature allowed players to shift their formation in the pre-snap audible menu without actually changing the play. For example, if you call a run play up the middle out of a goal line formation, you could then call a formation shift and make your players spread out into a four wide receiver formation while still in the same running play.

The problem with this new function was that EA also added a fatigue penalty for the defense causing defensive players to get more tired each time there was a formation shift. This led to players on offense calling multiple formation shifts each play making the defensive players too exhausted to keep up and force them to substitute out of the game until they are fully rested. This led to more imbalance that could only be fixed by turning off fatigue.

Linebacker is the cover athlete.2005 also added 'EA Sports Radio', a fictional show that plays during the menu screen of Franchise mode to provide a greater sense of a storyline during gameplay. It features as the host, who often interviews players and coaches about how the season is going and also has quiz questions in which fake listeners call in to make attempts at answering football-related questions.

It included mock interviews of famous NFL players and coaches throughout the in-game season. Some fans have criticized for not including new features to the 'programming' as the radio became stale after only two seasons in franchise mode, but the feature drew acclaim for adding content to the Franchise menu. Also added was the Newspaper where the player could look at National News from licensed USA Today and Licensed Local papers for almost each of the 32 NFL teams. Lastly, 2005 also saw the introduction of multiple progressions during franchise mode. Previously NFL players in Madden would only progress or regress at the end of each season. Now at the end of Week 5, 11, and 17 the game would use a program to 'progress' players based on their performance in addition to end of season progression.Madden NFL 06 In, the 'Truck Stick' was introduced. This feature allows the offensive player to lower his shoulder and break a tackle, or back juke to avoid one.

Another new feature is the, which allows the player to take control of a rookie, and progress through his career. This includes an IQ test, interviews, workouts, the NFL Draft, hiring an agent, and other aspects of a superstar's life. Quarterback is the cover athlete.EA also introduced the QB Vision feature in the 2006 installment. With this feature, a cone of spotlight emits from the quarterback during passing plays, simulating his field of vision.

To make an accurate pass, the quarterback must have his intended receiver in his field of vision. Passing to a receiver not in the cone reduces pass accuracy significantly. The size of the quarterback's vision cone is directly correlated to his Awareness and Passer Accuracy rating; and see nearly the entire field at once, whereas an inexperienced quarterback such as or sees only a sliver of the field.

This feature also allows for bigger plays and more interceptions.Also, EA sports added the Smart Route. This means that when pressing a hot route to the corresponding receiver, you put the analog stick down and the receiver will run to the first down, and you can throw him the ball.While current gen Madden remained the same with the exception of a 'Smart Route' and 'QB Vision', this was also the first year Madden was released on the next-gen Xbox 360. It was completely stripped down, almost every change made in the previous gen was wiped away.EA Sports Madden NFL Football This is an arcade game developed by, and released in 2005.

With the Highlight Stick, users can have their running backs perform different running moves and combos, instead of just bowling over defenders. Truck Stick features still exist for bigger backs, but not for smaller backs who would never realistically use them anyway. Instead, more agile backs perform acrobatic ducks and dodges to avoid tackles.
