As fans, we are looking for our sports teams and Madden 24 coins our favorite leagues to be a symbol for something greater. We're proud of athletes' efforts to help others and why we draw attention to their religious views when they're questioned on their character and why we don't actually know the character of the players we watch on television. We're more interested in the morality of Madden NFL 23 more than businesses that are on Wall Street, even though they're much in business with the same goals.

Part of the reason for this is that we identify as Madden NFL 23 fans, which is why we don't want to act like we explicitly support a team or league that has a failing moral compass. In the past, Madden NFL 23 was a team that abused this loyality, while claiming it exists to serve the fans of the communities in which its teams are based and for the benefit of the sport.

As it's become apparent (and is really what it should have been since the beginning) the Madden NFL 23 exists to earn money. It's not designed to be anything else, and it's probably misguided to imagine it's anything other than that. It's clear that Madden NFL 23 is a company, and it's high time to treat it like one. It's probably too much to ask in the current political climate however, a realistic chance of this happening could suffice to convince the league to do the right thing -- and try to trick us into thinking it's more than making money.

Let's begin by looking at the positives. The evaluation is at least to have to do with Marcus Mariota's off-field capabilities and not because he's "too lovely," which is somehow a negative to the Madden NFL 23 world of scouting. That's where the positives stop in this particular case.

Mariota played with a sprained left MCL in November 2013. Even though this certainly limited his mobility and he had to wear an enormous brace to stabilize his knee, watching these games tells you ... what? The ability of him to play with injuries? (Oregon went 2-2. losing against Stanford and MUT 24 ltds Arizona in that stretch.) The knee injury diminished his speed and power as a runner. A knee injury can also limit the ability of a quarterback to perform almost everything.
