The 10 Commandments According to Madden
-
Play 11-man football
"If there aren't 11 players, it isn't real football." -
Use real players
"I want the All-Madden Team. The big boys. The flakes. The crazies... my guys." -
Call plays from my playbooks
"I'm the coach. We use my plays—81 on offense, 81 on defense. Covers the basics." -
Design your own plays
"If I dial up the right play at the right time—POW—6 points." -
Make it realistic
"There’s a ton of stuff that can happen on any play—missed blocks, jukes, pancakes. That’s football." -
Choose how you play
"Sometimes I want to take a handoff, hit the Umph button, and jam it down your throat." -
Factor in gameplay conditions
"Some guys aren’t mudders. Some can’t block on grass. That’s real football." -
Call audibles
"If I don’t like what I see at the line, I have to adjust. One wrong call can cost the whole game." -
Include everything
"Injuries, penalties, time-outs, turnovers, interceptions, substitutions—they all matter." -
Make your own league
"When I build my teams, I want every pro player, stat, and rating. I love being the commissioner."
