Even if it takes a little time to get into the game.

If it’s in the game , it’s in the game. Two staples of the 2017 Eagles Super Bowl run — the run-pass option and the Philly Special — will be part of the new Madden 20 game, which debuts late July. The game will contain a whopping 200 RPO plays.Details regarding the new edition of the game recently were revealed by EA, which through the Madden brand has had the exclusive license to NFL video football for over a decade. And while I’ve had complaints about the game in the past, I’ve been hooked on the Ultimate Team feature for the last four years, playing the game and gradually building a better and better team of current and past players while getting in 60 minutes or so per day of cardio on an exercise bike, while allows me to feel less guilty about eating whatever I feel like eating.My only complaint about the game at this point comes from the reality that, after spending a year building a star-studded Ultimate Team that currently has a 99 Kyler Murray, a 99 Barry Sanders, a 99 JuJu Smith-Schuster, a 99 Bernardrick McKinney , a 98 Rodney Harrison, a 98 Lawrence Taylor, a 97 Randy Moss and more, everything resets to a team of slappies that has to be scratched and clawed over the course of a full year into something much better. Lather, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat.It’s still fun to play Madden online, with very real football dynamics like offensive and defensive tendencies, pre-snap reads and audibles , clock management, and situational football often the difference between wins and losses. The RPO will add another element of realistic decision-making, with the importance of reading the defense extending beyond the snap.And with no competition, anyone who wants to play NFL football in video game form has two choices: Madden or dust off an old copy of NFL 2K5. Brett Favre likes what he sees from a couple of the NFL’s bright young quarterback stars.Favre says Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are the two quarterbacks in the NFL today whose playing styles most remind him of himself.“There’s no question that the sky is the limit for Baker,” Favre told Nate Ulrich of the . “And, yeah, I think his style of play, and I’ve heard the same thing about Mahomes, and I agree with both, that their styles of play — if you had to pick a former player — would certainly match up to my style.”Favre says he sees Mayfield and Mahomes going beyond how the play was drawn up when the circumstances call for it , and he likes to see that.“It’s a play-action fake that you’ve never seen before or a flip, underhand pass or diving over three defenders or ducking your head and getting the extra yard,” Favre said. “Those are the type of things that are the unexpected that will become, at some point, maybe expected with a guy like Baker or Mahomes. Playing [quarterback] the way I played and the way Baker and Mahomes play is they just kind of have that added little sixth sense.”That is high praise from a Hall of Famer, but based on the early returns from Mahomes and Mayfield, that praise is justified.
