For those waiting to comment, "quit supporting EA if you don't like the game"....I haven't purchased a new Madden for seventeen years, how much longer should I have to hold out until I get a good football game? NFL is losing me and other fans because when I quit playing Madden, I quit learning who the modern players are which in turn makes me quit caring about real football. Is this the result the NFL wanted when they gave EA exclusive rights? I doubt it. Ah well, I have found how awesome the NHL is and a big part of that was NHL 2014 and how great that game was made. But I see NHL 24 is hated on. Pattern?

Ppl really think they improved the franchise mode. It’s no way possible we’re on these so called next gen consoles that are 20x more powerful than the PS2/Xbox generation and this is the best they can do. It’s so poorly detailed in every way. The lack of deep immersion for this game is crazy. All this stuff is already on the game or was once on the game. It’s nothing Simulation about it. Look at the interactions from coaches and players , that’s elementary conversation and lack of detail. They’re promoting a new draft board, lol, nfl records, and storylines? Get real man. All I want to see is ref actually tossing the flag and picking it up, players making a play and watching the team hype them up without cutscenes. SB halftime show, different SB celebrations. They say R.Moss is giving out trophy, so will he be doing that every season? They could’ve got 1 HoF player for each team to do that. How bout dynamic sidelines and stadiums, real physics base tackling. Post game interviews, halftime show highlights showing other teams and yours. Will announcers give detail analysis on created players and players drafted from NCAA 25.

[@chrisofnyc3936]

It’s unreal how EA in general not just with Madden but also with NBA live really watered down their games. They went into the next gen after ps2 and Xbox with worse games over on the ps3 and 360. Like you would believe with the technological advancements they’d improve on their product. But Madden and Live moving over to next gen was so horrifically trash and disappointing. Then once they learned about making money off all the nerds with in game player cards etc that’s really when they just focused on in game revenue. I remember a time when Madden cards were FREE. Everything was free. Now certain modes are pretty much pay to win. (If you can pay to have a player on your team that someone else refuses to pay for and can’t even grind to acquire that same player then it’s totally pay to win) I was considering buying this game but I’ll probably wait until it’s on sale under $20 if I buy it at all. I’m going to wait until eventually another developer comes in and makes an NFL game. That might be never, which means I’ll never spend $70+ on any single Madden title. 😂

[@gordoncozier614]

[@Supra1997Jp]

Does EA know what the new Xbox & PS5 is capable of because there’s no way that we should have the same player face scans from seven years ago in this game like what is going on. Are you able to edit your player superstar mode, but can’t do it in franchise mode by the time you get year 8 in franchise mode do you know how many of the same faces are in the league it’s ridiculous

@@JDivine911 I’m not opposed of the option to turn it off but a basic work around is to just not click the scenario, not clicking it is basically turning it off IMO If you don’t want Radndom attributes during certain games , I do find the only scenarios that’s actually stupid is the “Next man up” it hurts your best player for one game even if you have injuries off but like I said these scenarios are avoidable I’ll see if it’s an actual gameplay issue that isn’t avoidable such as pre determined animations or scripted logic , for example If it’s a close game and you know that one throw out of sack animation it always gets picked off by another incoming blitzer, I find that very dumb that it gets picked off or something shitty happens in that exact scenario when it’s a close game.

@@JDivine911 I don’t expect or want much outside of gameplay , If I can see different and tons of new animations combined with physics during gameplay than I’m satisfied, All that random franchise college prospects and this and that is bs since no one actually takes the deep dive , It’s never a 1 star player with like 98sp but bad awr or some cause they don’t have good AI coding , I just want consistent good gameplay at the end of the day.
