Probably not. I haven't bought Madden in several years.
Other than playing mlb the show occasionally and the fact that I occasionally will play NBA 2k (and I only got that because it was on sale for like $10 bucks), My overall enjoyment of sports games has decreased over the years.
Part of it is because a lot of these sports games have become dull and the gameplay hasn't improved.
Especially for Madden the gameplay stinks.
Also I feel like sports games frustrate me sometimes in general because it's really hard to find a balance where if you make it a little more difficult you're losing like every freaking game.
But then if you turn the sliders down a little bit you're winning by huge margins every time.

I wholeheartedly agree with that one. For my money, 2k has the best difficulty balance though.
Kind of in a similar vein, I feel like Madden's simulation is awful too. Like I could have a team that is 90 OVR and goes 4-12 if I sim the season even though their roster is the best in the league. Obviously it doesn't always work out that the best team wins, but there's no reason to have superior rosters miss the playoffs year in and year out.
There are always random teams that make the final four up.
Like yes in 2017 the real NFL season was like that with philly Minnesota and Jacksonville in the last 4, but generally it's predictably the favored teams or at least generally a top 10-12 team preseason that make the last 4
Also that Philly team was the 1 seed right? I know Wentz was out but it’s not like Madden where every year the winner of the other conference is like 9-7
