Ive come to appreciate this game so much more.
This game is on another level.
For the ones that sometimes get tired of it since it's all you play - go play an EA game and come back - you'll just appreciate this game so much more.
when it comes to Madden I mainly stick to Career Mode and sometimes jump into Franchise... I barely touched Ultimate Team last year after launch... as bad as I wanted to play with Honors GW and Sauce I just couldn't bring myself to go into the mode.
-
MUT is awful, Haven’t even touched it this year. But Madden is great this year! The gameplay is the best it’s been in years…Having a ton of fun playing regs online.
-
this game isnt perfect, but end of the day its a game. I can say they were bold this year with the 99 early, and nonsellable stuff and grind 97 but atleast theyre certianly trying? gameplay is the next to be revamped hopefully, but has madden even changed much? I played a the gronk cover and bought the lamar cover a few months ago for cheap and it felt the same. I can say mlb does try albiet with some misguided attempts and mistakes that idk how they got through but I can see the gears in motion

Well said. Madden is a mess. Sure there are things SDS can improve on, but the two games aren't even close right now.

Ea has major issues with many things on madden this year and I am usually an optimist and they lack a lot of offline content too like mlb has this year
You think mlb lacks offline content this year? How?
Majority of the content is offline
The best players in the game, collections, are earned by playing offline

Let me be more clear the number retirement program is a joke

It's funny how people are content by comparing a mediocre product to an absolute garbage product. "Oh but this product isn't as garbage as the other, therefore I appreciate it more". Simpleton logic. No offense.

Not just that, they fail to acknowledge the steps this game is taking RIGHT OUT OF THE EA PLAYBOOK.
It will be the same next year and the year after and so on. As long as Madden keeps that ~5 year head start on monetization they will be content. MLB ‘28 will be a carbon copy of Madden ‘24, “but at least SDS doesn’t charge $5 each time you start the game like Madden ‘29”.

One thing that I did always love about MLBTS is that the best cards are available without the use of a credit/debit card. If they will ever stray from that path, they're done.

Every year there are issues with Madden. I just wish people would stop buying the game and quit spending money on MUT. That franchise is straight up broken. I haven't bought that game for almost 10 years.
-
I stopped playing Madden after they took away user custom formations and plays (maybe 2007 with Ray Lewis on the cover)? While you could not use them online H2H, it was a really cool feature to use in franchise mode or vs your friends offline.

I am nms like I am but I’m an offline player so build the squad offline
-
Thats a very low bar, but yes I'm glad MLB at least plays like the real game, unlike NHL, NFL & UFC. nms 99 squads are also cool
-
I just tossed $25 bucks at Legend Bowl. It’s about what I’d expect but was only $25 bucks. I’ll stick to my Genesis and Tecmo Bowl for football.

There was a great game way back on the pc that would allow you to create the best plays. I remember their being a QB named Joe Dakota. I made a play called the Center Bomb lol it broke all of the eligibility rules of football but there was nothing like airing the ball out to a Center streaking down the middle of the field untouched on a fly route while a 350lb nose guard tried desperately to drop back into pass coverage!
ps it was called Front Page Sports Football Pro 98

In those days that play was definitely legal.

Lmao. Nothing in this game is original besides showdown, it’s all a copy cat.
“Timed” Programs are Fortnite battlepasses.
Ranked seasons rewards came from EA.
Captains came from EA.
Moments came from EA.
Conquest is a 50 year old board game.
Anytime you mention something EA does that should be in the game you get flamed then all of a sudden “Parallels” becomes the “best thing SDS has ever come up with” lmao
