I love your work, SDtv. Keep doing your thing. That said, I gotta let you know the only reason I suspect you probably didn't see much true sim gamers talking about how bad Madden 19 really was then is because by then, a lot of the old heads that covered how bad Madden has gotten (and keep in mind, a lot of old heads started to call out Madden since Madden 09 for the 360) had long since moved on. Like for instance, there's this old Sim head by the name of Gideon Prime (aka Apexisfree) who used to be known for calling out the exact same BS in Madden. But after several years of just that, including helping work on Backbreaker, he finally gave up on the Sim football platform altogether and shifted his focus to critiquing the NBA 2K series, since he believes they are far much ahead than Madden, but still need to make sure they keep their level of quality in sim (if not flat out improve upon it) instead of getting complacent like EA has done.

Hearing your story is crazy and really interesting. I started playing madden when I was 11 or 12 years old (Madden 05) and watched it deteriorate in real time year after year starting with 09. Finally stopped playing after Madden 25. Watching all your madden videos, you’re absolutely right about how much the game has fallen off in depth/quality, which game killed the series, and how the sixth gen versions (07 and 08 were my fav) were the best ones. It’s wild how you pretty much skipped thru 09-17 growing up, probably thinking you were missing out because of the constant high review scores shitty mainstream outlets handed out, only to go back and see how much the franchise (both the game and the mode itself) fell to ruin. Seriously, fuck EA. I’ve stopped buying in protest for years and don’t regret it one bit (I’m 28 now). I love that you make these videos to try and show people it hasn’t been worth buying this game for years but there are too many diehards out there that will take anything EA will give them. Love your content though and you’re also right about the 2k series, keep it up!

I had the same Madden experience. Played 07 and 08 on PC. I did also get 10 on PS3. It wasn’t bad. The micro transactions were meh, but kind of addicting. Since then I’ve wanted to get the latest Madden every year, but they always get such bad reviews that it’s hard to justify spending $60-70 dollars.

I am the same as you, I haven't paid full price for a Madden game in at least a decade. I hadn't bought a new Madden game until I bought Madden 09 on PS3 which I bought for like $10 because I had and LOVED ESPN NFL 2k5. I HATED Madden 09 and then bought Madden 11 for $10. I loved Madden 11 and still play it all the time. It is my go to Madden game. I just recently bought Madden 21 for $20. It isn't a terrible game, as long as you only paid $20 or less for it. If I had paid full price for it, I would be pissed. It really is something how Madden 21 isn't nearly as good as ESPN NFL 2k5. Madden has CLEARLY put all their resources and energy into Ultimate Team and not on game play, presentation or fun. Thanks for all your great videos.

One thing that I noticed is that every time you or your opponent picked a run play a little infographic about a runningbacks yards per carry or if it was a pass a graphic would pop up about a QBs accuracy.

Last Madden I bought was 17, because it was the one where Blake Bortles had his best Overall Rating. I absolutely hate playing that game, and it's terrible that it has only gotten worse from there. Makes me wish I could still say that 08 was the last one I bought.
@petehaight11392 жыл бұрын
What still pisses me off about modern maddens (18, specifically) is that when you play a slightly older madden, like madden 25, it feels like a breath of fresh air somehow. Even though it’s not one of the older games with all the crazy features, like on PS2, it’s still got so much more in gameplay and modes than recent maddens.

I'm not gonna lie, after I seen dude straight up matrix block that pass (12:10) I kinda want to play it now just to see how crazy it gets. I think I've bought 1 madden game new in my entire life. That's not to say i haven't enjoyed the hell out of a few, quite the opposite, its more that I could never justify full price for a marginal improvement. I still have a dusty '16 in my game case now and I don't see replacing it anytime soon.

I actually thought Madden 20 was a significant upgrade from 19, at least in terms of gameplay. It felt much smoother to me. Having said that, my favorite Madden of all time is still probably either 02 or 03 on the PS2. On 03 I avenged the Rams' Super Bowl defeat to the Pats several times over. Never really liked the PS3 Maddens that much, especially 06 which was a travesty to me in terms of gameplay.
