Hey EA and Madden listen carefully. I understand your contract with the NFL is coming to an end. I just hope you didn’t just improve this game just to renew your contract and then fall back to a lazy state once you’re awarded the contract.

[@loganfletcher6752]

We need the ability to redesign uniforms and logos for our Franchise team. We see this every few years in the NFL when a team redesigns their uniforms, logos and such. I should be able to use the Bucs and retheme the team to the original orange color scheme. I want to be able to edit the logo colors, uniforms, stadium banners and field art. Give us the ability to choose these colors based on the franchise's history. It would be so much fun to retheme the current Bucs uniform and logos and just swap the red and pewter for orange and white.

[@RarelyEvenn]

As a diehard Bucs fan, I love wearing the orange throwbacks seldomly. But is sucks because the field art and coach apparel stay exactly the same.

Unfortunately, I think the NFL has control over whether they can add stuff like this. Same reason they don't allow variable crowd sizes and why there's only like 5 injuries in the game lol. EA deserves a lot of blame for Madden over the years but this one of the few things that's just not in their control.

[@Meemeeseecoo]

They should take a page outta 2k’s book and just let the community design everything… then let others upload the creation.

The way the Bucs built their Super Bowl in 2020, was for years before that they did contacts with zero signing bonuses, just using guaranteed money over the first 2 years of most deals, so they could cut people, or restructure them later, with no hit to the cap. They did that for years, all with the goal of when their window opened, they'd be able to create as much cap space as needed to go all in. You all talk about how expanded the new salary cap management is, but all you seemed to do was add a restructure button. Where are void years, where are those contacts where you give no signing bonus, but guaranteed money and have a flat cap hit for years? It's still non-sense simplistic garbage that isn't even remotely 'real' to the NFL.

Thanks for bringing back something from Madden 2004. How is this a deep dive? Its three minutes of buzz words. Only awesome features added are 6 player trades (thank you) and conract restructuring.

Hopefully it can be switched to move the following season.

[@arkhamdingus3823]

I really wish EA would *actually* make improvements to the commentary. It's been the same, laggy, badly scripted, non-immersive commentary year after year after year.

They always talk about a good game, but the game is never good. The new features are solid, but the gameplay is going to be subpar as usual.

[@MikesGamingSchool]

@@marcusbriggs3223 I disagree the gameplay last year was the best it had been in a long time. What made the game struggle was the bugs, we couldn't enjoy how good the gameplay was because it was always something glitchy or buggy happening which made the game almost unplayable. Hopefully this year it's cleaned up. They say it's a make or break year let's see what happens.

[@marcusbriggs3223]

@MikesGamingSchool To be blunt and don't take this as being rude, but the game simply doesn't understand the fundamentals of football. Blocking Ai is horrible. You will often see linemen blow their assignment and just stand there. DBs in some situations are better than the receiver when it comes to 1v1 contested passes. They will magically pick it off in situations where the ball should be uncatchable or it should only be to be swatted. Defensive players, in general, often stand flat footed and can't make basic plays. The tackling system is horrible and unnatural, although there are slight improvements. The fact that you can't do low tackles is mind-boggling. you're taught to tackle low in grade school. You can't run basic concepts and have success in this game. You have to run cheese plays to win consistently. Fumbles happen too often. Quarterback scrambling barely works, and that is now a fundamental part of football. They had to nerf it because the ai logic is horrible when trying to contain quarterbacks. On the surface, Madden may look good, but the game is broken and is not a good representation of professional football. I won't be able to sit here and pick it apart in the comment section. But there are many videos that better explain the details and problems with Madden, do some research, and actually watch an nfl game and compare what you see in real life to the game. You will quickly see how Madden missed a lot of details.
