The most complete and fun Madden, which this gen has come closest?

I've been playing a lot of 10 and 11 today just because I got so fed up with 13. I got to say 11 or 10 1/2 as lots of OS users depict it is a very good game with the right sliders. I'm using Verzus's by the way. There is just something about 10 and 11 that feels fresh and right. I keep wanting to play it. 12 is also very good. But I grew tired of it. If only EA would keep certain things and expand on them, rather than try to make waves every iteration then perhaps we would get the most complete Madden. But as it stands, I have to say 10 1/2 has come the closest to the most complete and fun.

IMHO it was something like Madden 2002 (don't recall exactly) on PC. Before this whole 'hey we've got to ONLY crank up the graphics for the consoles' bullshame started..

You had the ability to create your own players, playbooks and even teams and stadiums.

There also was another version out (don't recall either the exact version) where you REALLY had some franchise experience (moving teams to other cities, hiring your own coaching staff, etc). I think this all was before the whole Superstar-Crap..

Re: The most complete and fun Madden, which this gen has come closest?

I will just rank the cg games I played

M10- The game with the most depth+ very competitively complete+ interesting

M08-The most competitively complete and most fun game this gen

M12- This is Madden 11 but with less competitive completeness...The only reason it is higher is because the game was less stale to play on a daily basis

M11- This game was stale as hell but honestly (looking back on it) this was the 2nd best game when it comes to competitive completeness. What messed this game up was that it was stale because every1 ran the same offense and defense

M13- All around mess lol jk...I just cant describe this game yet.

M09- More arcade than M08, horrible competitive completeness, stale gameplay/graphics,

12, because of editing/playbook control/32 team control.

Re: The most complete and fun Madden, which this gen has come closest?

I had the most fun with the Madden 09 collector's edition...

I think the total package with all of the features and best gameplay was Madden 10.

I rate Madden 13 3rd on the list in terms of fun factor...but it seemed to be the most incomplete Madden since Madden 07 (on PS3) with all the bugs.

Fun for us is 13, hard to top 09 coming with Head Coach for 'Complete' but I'd still rather play 13 over that package.

The whole "Superstar-Crap" was added in Madden 06.. you could move teams to other cities up until Madden 10.
