    Blitz tried to make a football game without licensed players after Madden got the exclusive.

    It flopped real fucking hard. Blitz The League, if you’re wondering.

    Sports fans really want those actual rosters.

      Blitz the League came out at a different time, Madden was still a beloved series by this point. You have two sports games, both are good, but one of them has the NFL license and the other doesn’t. I wouldn’t fault anyone for looking at Madden as a no brainer in such a situation.

      Times have clearly changed, how many times did Angry Joe made videos ripping the Madden of the year into pieces? If the game is really that bad, giving up on the roster seems like a good compromise if it means a good game. But according to Madden players roster comes first, so I don’t know what they are complaining about.

      I get that a good sports game that has the players you know and support isn’t much to ask but it’s what it is.
