Best Madden?

What is your favorite Madden ever that you’ve played? Mine is Madden 07. This was my first Madden ever. Made so many good memories on there. That was when the Bears were actually somewhat good. Feels like a lifetime ago since I could say that unfortunately. Speaking of the bears from madden 07, I was a youngster and I built this 99 overall regs team by editing the real life roster. I gave them some of the funniest names, such as HB #31 Eggnuts Rockyolgerson. The nostalgia is REAL.

I think it was madden 2006 that had the Tony Bruno show and  newspaper articles along with being able to collect cards,teams and cheats for your binder. From madden 93-2008 the game improved every single year. Also it had superstar mode where you could hire agents and get endorsement deals and was alot of fun. 

Madden 08 was great also and may actually be the best one. The PS2 era of madden was absolutely awesome from 2001-2008. Madden 2006,2007 and 2008 was the best 3 years ever in Madden. Madden 2009 was good but didnt really offer anything new. I didnt play madden for 2010-2013. I got back into it with Madden 25 and found Mut and online play. 

 I also remember Madden before it had the actual players and teams. 1995 was the first with both real teams and players. 1998 changed madden with improved defense and the first ever career/franchise mode,it was 15 seasons. The PS1 era definitely made big strides. The game used to never get any hate and it was a big deal for launch day. My biggest gripe with franchise mode over The years from 1998-2008 was that the salary cap was too easy and increased too much and teams making dumb decisions like drafting a QB high when they already have a young up and coming QB.  Great times playing Madden cause EA was on their game back then
