Madden Game Overview

Madden 101

Madden is a 1v1 “Sports Sim”, meaning the game is simulating a real-life sport (professional American football in this case).
As this is a simulation game, there are no “otherworldly” or unrealistic abilities that can be used in the game.
Officially licensed by the NFL, the game allows players to compete as any professional team/player currently active in the National Football League.
Competitive matches follow the standard, real-world ruleset established by the NFL. The team with the most points at the end of 4 quarters wins.
Games are split into 4 quarters. Each quarter is simulated in a faster time (avg. 5 minutes per quarter) to keep games at a reasonable length.

As a 1v1 competitive game, competitors will control all the players on the football field, having autonomy over a single player at any given time.
Just like a head coach or offensive/defensive coordinator, competitors will call plays (i.e.) run, pass, zone defense, etc. and can utilize real-time audibles before the snap.
Competitors will need to utilize real-world strategies on offense and defense. Good knowledge of how football works will result in higher rates of success in Madden.
