Biggest Fixes for 2021

User input mattering more for hitting and pitch are the biggest two for me. Check swings need to be fixed. I’ve played way too many people have check swung 30+ times a game only to have 4 of them be called swings. Pitches on the black being called balls is a huge problem too. There are way too many foul balls on poorly timed swings on pitches out of the zone.
For multi game moments it would be nice to go from one game to the next without having to go all the way back to the moments menu. If there’s one thing that madden has gotten right recently it’s that you can roll from one solo challenge right into the next
You just listed all the things everyone wanted fixed in 19 and they sold us on user input mattering...then released a trash can of a game that was exactly like it’s predecessor.

• I would agree that in Moments, you shouldn’t be penalized for drawing a walk or being hit by a pitch. And you should be able to remove player lock to control the runners or fielders yourself. Need an XBH and the runner on 1st won’t take third on a ball in the gap. Or you can’t give up a run, and the CPU plays the infield back with a runner on third and less than two outs. Yeah, awesome.
• Showdown, it’s built on an extreme pass/fail system (which I like) but they should be more transparent about each goal... will you start with a runner on base? Which batter in your line-up will hit first? Some goals like “get an XBH and a run before recording three outs” urgently need that info.
• Agreed that Prestige programs should be available offline, even if only starting on All Star difficulty or higher.
• If it’s a purely hitting-only related goal or Moment we’re given, allow us to skip the half off the inning that doesn’t matter. You’ll get a pure hitting goal for a game, regardless of winning or losing (like “score two runs and get two hits with one XBH in three innings”) and then have to record every out on the mound, or vice versa for pure pitching goals. It’s boring and pointless.
• Allow us to track specific stat goals, like getting 20 hits with Twins, or 10 homers with Dodgers, so that we know in-game where we stand.
• No home run camera where your batter blocks the flight of the ball. C’mon.
• 100% new commentary. It is long overdue.I had some of these, on a list about 2019, and basically gave up on them being fixed.
They would be amazing quality of life fixes, especially being crippled in an XBH Moment and the runner on first is the pitcher...
Also, 2-run Showdown Moments that are like "strike out the first batter you face" are flat-out stupid, especially since pitcher Showdown Moments are so rare.
I hate the score 3 runs in the three innings of the showdown and then you have to pitch as well. I hate showdown.

Honestly I just want a decent hitting engine along with pitches that don’t gravitate towards the middle. Let’s establish that first.
Agreed.
