If you own Madden 13, don't buy Madden 25

Yes. Video games make a mistake by trying to nail realism so perfectly. 98% of gamers couldn't handle realistic defenses or schemes. No gamers are playing MLB The Show at true game speed, because none of them are realistically hitting 98mph fastballs. Realism needs to blend with fun, and I think Madden especially misses that point some years. I haven't regularly played Madden since 2010, I don't think. Had been playing it religiously since '93. It got too easy, for one. Then adjusting sliders felt fixed. Got old.
