Quote:There's a difference of quality in those two series. 2k tries their best to make it realistic as possible and has a very nice core foundation with their engine. They don't need to change anything because it's almost flawless in terms of visual realism. Every player looks just like they do in real life, and they're able to get their tattoos down to perfection. Madden is built on a wonky engine, physics are weird, players don't look like they do in real life, the stadium/crowd is lackluster, and not to mention the unstoppable cheese plays. One is meant for just having fun (which Madden is, it's a fun game) and the other is for people that like simulation.

 

I play 2k every year. There's tons of cheese, bad AI, glitches that don't get fixed from year to year. Simulation? 2k hasn't been a true sim since...2000? 2001? I mean, it's not as bad as Live, but still. I think 2k peeps like to pretend that 2k is still the glory years and that 2k hasn't sat on their laurels much like EA did when EA got exclusive of football games.
