John Madden Football is a video game developed by High Score Productions and published by Electronic Arts exclusively for the 3DO.

Gameplay

John Madden Football features contemporary NFL teams, and historical football teams, as well as an all-Madden team of the best contemporary players, and an all-star team of historical players.[2]

Development and release

In 1995, Atari Corporation struck a deal with Electronic Arts to bring select titles to the Atari Jaguar CD,[3] with John Madden Football among them but this version was never released due to the commercial and critical failure of the Atari Jaguar platform.[4][5]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it four stars out of five, stated that "This is simply the best arcade-style football game currently available."[2]

Entertainment Weekly gave the game a "B" grade and said "This game's on-screen players are huge, the generous video clips are broadcast-TV quality, and there are enough obscure play options to satisfy Monday- and Tuesday- morning quarterbacks. But anyone willing to learn the difference between a quick slant I formation and a single-back halfback sweep is going to want more incisive commentary from Madden than, 'Now that was great defense!'"[6]

In 1996, GamesMaster ranked the game 10th on their "The GamesMasters 3DO Top 10."[7]
