I wish that were possible. Ever since they bought out the competition, Madden has been doodoo. But EA doesn't care, because they make fucktons of money thanks to MUT. It's hilarious because in other sports, like hockey and college football, they've had no monopoly, but those games are/were still very well made and full of enthusiasm and fun new elements. Madden (and from what I've heard, FIFA, but idk because idc about soccer) are just cash grabs now with very little focus put on gameplay and refinement and more and more focus on how to squeeze some more revenue out of MUT.

There are loads of these, especially on PC. But yes, the names of real teams and players carries that much weight. The last big attempt was All-Pro Football 2k8, which was a football title with no real teams and the players were real NFL legends like John Jesus Elway and Barry Sanders. It looked and played amazing, but no one cared because it didn't have Tom Brady or the Dallas Cowboys.
