Impact

Every year a new version of Madden comes out. It becomes even more realistic every year. It includes new players from the draft and progression and regression stats based on the previous year. Madden has become the bridge for all football fans from the day after the Super Bowl till the kickoff of the following season. If you dont believe me ask my father, who plays religiously until the start of the new season. I myself find it helps relax me after having a stressful day. Mostly though, its helps get me through the months in between. I went from playing football in high school to just being able to “play” football on Madden. 

Yes, its almost here a new season of football. There is nothing like it for those that have played. Maybe I have an obsession with football ( I know im not the only one). This probably comes from growing up watching and then playing. How can I just let it go!? I cant! So I focus my obsession from playing football to watching. Playing cant be compared to anything. For those that haven’t it is a feeling and experience that can never be fully expressed. After the Saints stunned everyone in the World except the Who Dat Nation and beat the Golden Boy and the Colts, avid football fans had nothing to do. My remote stayed on NFL network watching everyday speculation of all the draft picks and trade talk for alas this was as close as we could get to actual football. Mix in playing last years version of Madden to reduce the amount withdrawal from real football.
