Games I Dislike That Everybody Else Likes
Graphically indistinguishable from Madden NFL 97, in fact I actually think this even looks a little worse. This is technically a better game as well, but only ever so slightly, in a way that doesn't really justify a full new release. It's a little tighter, the passing is slightly more responsive, UI is a bit cleaner, and there's this really cool feature where divots gradually build up in the field over time where big hits took place. But all of this feels like a patch as opposed to a standalone entry. And again, after a couple of these matchups I'm over it.
