The 10s: Madden 2004, 2008 and 2009

I figured I would start the 10s list with the game that will be least interesting to talk about.  A little clarification here, whenever I talk about sports games, I always group them together by generation rather than year.  I think all of the Madden games from this era are great, these particular three just did the littlest of little things better than the others.  These games need to be looked at almost more like expansions than sequels. Unlike a lot of games I have talked about so far, there is absolutely no doubt the Madden Football franchise is a household name.  It’s one of those series’ that most non-gamers have heard of and a favorite of casuals everywhere.  Of course, it also has a massive competitive circuit that was one of the first true E-Sports leagues to garner attention.  It can trace its roots all the way back to the 90s on the 4th gen consoles and its still a massive cash cow for EA today.  Thanks to some shenanigan...
