    No offense man but if you can’t stop someone running stretch run over & over then you’re obviously not a very good online player. That works on subpar players but good players will shut that down quickly. That’s ok though - MUT isn’t for everyone. Enjoy DD.

    Wait didn't some dude just win the Madden tournament just running stretch?
    Was he playing subpar players? Nope he was playing the top tournament players and he crushed them.
    The dude didn't even have a QB taking snaps.
    You just nuked your whole thread.

    Actually no...He ran more dive than stretch but his ability to cut back with Sayers is what he has his most success doing. But he actually won because of his defense - Watch that championship game...Dude absolutely smothered him.

    And nuke what? My thread is asking if people plan on still playing this game after Madden drops.

    I know the op spammed runs and the cheese blitzes

    You know that from me asking if people plan on playing the show after madden drops? Cool.

    You guys are forgetting the best part of madden, that is their connected franchise mode. Does it need some work? Of course. But there's something about being in a league with 31 other users and going 4-8 seasons building your team that the show just can't replicate. Yes franchise was neglected this year and I'm also not a huge fan of the abilities and x-factors but I will definitely be playing franchise again this year.

    I used to play Madden every year when it came out. I gave up on it, and the NFL entirely for that matte, after my SAN DIEGO Chargers left for LA. I no longer have a team to follow so I could care less about the NFL both in real life and in video games. The NFL should have never allowed them to leave San Diego where they belong. Now they play in a 25k seat soccer stadium where the only fans there are rooting for the other team.

    Played the Tar out of madden 19 and 20. I decided to try this and I never looked back.

    1 thing I really loved playing was house rules but they were so few and far between that I was bored alot. Events in this game are generally pretty quick and fun to play, plus rs isn't limited to the weekends like wl (which is difficult to fit playing time in if you have a family)

    Madden is trash, they show is not perfect, but, is far superior to all other sports titles.

    I'm a much bigger NFL fan, but you can't even call Madden a football game, because it doesn't play like football if Tres Way is the best QB in the game and nobody passes. It's sort of a rugby/football hybrid game with an NFL skin.

    Madden had content for HALF of a year. What a horrible joke of a mut season last year. Just awful, even 2K with the same circumstances and timeline killed them on content.

    Nobody can't touch sds with the amount of stuff they put in the game.

    Madden sucks. Anyone also notice this guy is like a walking advertisement for Madden? He makes 3 posts a week on how this game can”improve” using some concept from Madden. Take your paycheck from EA and get out of here guy

    I don't play Madden. I'm wondering how you can compare the two and say one is a better game? It's an entirely different sport.

    Played madden and MLB the past 3 years when I got back into gaming. Switched to MLB when i got sick of madden garbage. Had planned on making MLB my primary game this year when it dropped but the fumbling of patches really soured my desire to make that transition. MLB is a far better product than madden. Less gameplay BS and way better content, esp for NMS people, but I honestly find the game to be too boring for my tastes. I play it and just go through the motion (even after a month long break). Madden frustrates the p!ss out of me no question but I am rarely bored playing a h2h game. I cannot say the same about MLB and I say that as someone whose first love growing up was baseball.

    So yeah, two completely different games and it's difficult to compare so I compare my feelings instead. MLB: less gameplay frustration but beyond bored. Madden: routinely annoyed but not bored.

    For me, as well, I like the fact that I can get in 3-6 games in a couple hour window at night. Usually towards the 4-6 range. Games rarely go the distance and if they do it's because it was a good game. I can only get in 1-2, MAYBE 3 in MLB. That has an impact on my sentiment as well.

    No hate towards MLB. It's a nice break from madden but doesnt juice me up (good or bad) like madden does.

    I agree with your general message but you took one year and extrapolated it to the game in all years. Name a year, other than M20, where you could win a game with a punter at QB. I will wait.

    The fact that they came out and pretty much said they aren't fixing/updating online franchise until next years game has me staying away from Madden altogether... maybe i'll buy it later on when it drops to 30$

    That's a fair point and its frustrating to keep as well given I play in a CFM league. That said, at least they have a fully functional online franchise mode complete with play progression/development, contracts, trading, etc. Have you tried MLB's online franchise mode? Talk about garbage.

    Yeah I tried the online franchise in MLB.. It was pretty bare bones that's for sure.

    I think I am out after Madden drops. No good knuckleballers all year.

    And if that’s why you’re leaving then my opinion, that I’m sure will be shared by many here is, see ya don’t let the door hit you on the back side on your way out cheeseball!!! One cheeser down, now we just need the other toxic players to exit stage left. I know it won’t happen but it’s nice to dream.

    What a horrible defense. Considering the most recent installment of the game did not even include the quarterback position, what they've done in the past is irrelevant. It's not a football game.

    Other than there are more ways to play MUT solo, i think DD is far better than MUT

    I feel like I am addicted to The Show lol I've played year round for probably the last 4 years or so but I've already kind of stopped playing for NHL 20 so id imagine when Madden and 2k come out I'll play even less and when the new system comes out stop completely until The Show 21 arrives. But who know maybe I can kick this bad habit lol
