10 Classic Games that are Still Better than 10 of Today’s Worst

ESPN NFL vs Madden 17

EA releases a new Madden every year with only incremental changes. The series hasn’t evolved much in recent years. Instead, the games seem to be getting progressively worse. Madden 17 is yet another mediocre football game, but back in the day, they knew how to capture the spirit of the sport.

On the other hand, ESPN NFL Football still offers up a great interpretation of the sport. It’s easy to plan out plays and feel like you are actively engaging in the sport. It was a more simplistic game but that meant that its strengths stood out even more, especially in today’s climate where each new Madden entry tries to add even more meaningless features.
