GameTech: Madden '18 is ahead of the game

IN American football, the attacking team has four attempts to move the ball 10 yards forwards, or the opposition gains possession.  Some teams choose to inch forward, ten yards at a time, until they reach the end zone and score. Other teams choose to explode, gaining 50 yards in one play.

The Madden American football video game series doesn’t have any real competition.

Every year, the series tries to gain yards on its previous incarnation. Sometimes, it advances a careful ten yards, and sometimes it explodes forward.
