How is Madden casual?

It may use every button but you do know you can just put the controller down and it will play itself right?

Sports games are generally very casual games.  Yeah, they're more advanced casual games but they're still casual (not that there's anything wrong with that).

 

Dude, have you ever played Madden?  You can put down the controller and the game just plays itself?  I'd love to see you do that on offense.  You'll get nothing but delay of game penalties or end up getting sacked and losing yards on every play that you run and the final score will be like 79 to 0.  Similar to howyou can put down the controller and Call of Duty just "plays itself" and people will run on the screen and start shooting and after a few second "Game Over" pops up.

But my real reply to you is this:  again, how is it casual?  It's very easy to just stand up and say it is casual, but specifically what makes it casual in your opinion?  You said because it plays itself, but that's totally bogus and inaccurate in every way.  From what Madden offers, i'm assuming that you define casual games games with high depth/complexity and steep learning curves... which seems like the total opposite of what a "casual" game would be.

I generally but NCAA every other year and Madden every 3 or so years and I generally do pretty well.  Unless it's a huge game, I'll let the computer play a lot of my plays and I always let the computer play defense. 

It doesn't do a bad job.  Remember, if it's smart enough to make it hard on you, it's smart enough to play against itself.
