The terminology & how they look or when to actually use them?
Really? I find that Madden strategy often contridicts what would work on Sundays, and players don't key on what their real life counterparts key on.
Did she learn from Madden or did you teach her using Madden? Does she play? Does she actually experience particular strategies working in appropriate situations?
I'd agree there's some terminology to learn, what a particular formation looks like, what a particular defense looks like, ect. But from my experience, Madden strategy goes against conventional wisdom. Those ARE the flaws I'm concerned with.
But other games are much closer to real life. NBA 2K9 is not perfect, but it looks & moves like basketball. Pick & rolls accomplish what you would expect, screens, double teams, ect. Compared to Madden where there's no trap on trap plays, no pocket, no outside rush, ect. I feel other sports games capture the essence & foundation of the sport. Madden doesn't.
I guess my point is that for every peice of terminology learned, there are several strategic lessons that misinform the user. IMO, Madden does more damage to ones football IQ.

For the last time it is a VIDEO GAME. football is not as simple as basketball. madden also looks and moves like football, though it may play the way we would like for it to play. and of course she learned from my explanations, what did you ever learn without some instruction from someone or something, all the article is sayin is it can be used as a tool. again, not for those who know the game but for those who are learning the game. lastly, when pixels begin to react on their own midplay to whats happenning to make a play, as opposed to what they are PROGRAMMED to do, then i will agree with most of your assessment, till then i cant, i think you expect to much from ARTIFICIAL intelligence.
