49 years old, how do I start playing madden?

[blwn327]

I use to play on playstation 1 and 2. I have xbox series s now and been itching to get back. What would be the way to get into it and ease into online play? Tia

Online play? Eh, you may want to spend some time off line until you learn the mechanics and get back into using that muscle memory. I'd definitely start with Franchise mode and do all the tutorials and mini-games.

Skills trainer will get you competent. The mechanics haven't changed much since the PS1/PS2 days.

For sure do Skills Trainer stuff for a bit to get back in the swing of the controls and such. Depending on how into online play you want to get, you might want to look a little online for "meta" plays or formations to get a baseline for some general ideas if you don't want to just rely on your football knowledge.

Awww yes!!! A fellow player in his 40’s, I’m 44 and been playing this game since the very 1st madden. I still do all the tutorial stuff every year when the game comes out to get a feel for the new game. I start off in franchise before I start online play just to get the feel of everything like the others have said. I can’t just jump into H2H since I’m older now, it’s hard to keep with the young bucks sometimes lol

I hope I'm cool like you when I'm approaching 60.

I’m 55 and have had every madden game also, I’m offline only. I have enjoyed playing this since the very first madden, football video games have come a long way.
I remember playing Atari 2600 football (3 on 3) also intellivision and just about every other football video game. I hope I can keep playing them at least another 20 years.
