No, EA Sports is the only studio with an NFL license, so you will not find a serious soccer sim outside Madden nowadays. But if you would like something far more casual, Mutant Soccer League would be the nearest to NFL Blitz you can locate. How long will it survive? I Face of the Franchise, and spent with Franchise, Ultimate Team. I have only scratched the surface. Madden is a football-season-long occasion. If you get it? Yes. This year's Madden isn't without flaw, but its improvements to Ultimate Team have been valued. less
