FYI I haven't played/boughten madden since madden 14 only reason I did was to give it another shot as this being the first year it was truly focused on next gen and it is a massive flop. Played the show since launch then trying to get into madden 22 was a massive step backwards. But im back! LOL and boy do I have a TON of content to grind now. Thank you SDS!
Did you strictly play MUT or did you try Franchise?
If you play madden and don’t like MUT, which in my opinion is the only mode that works then you are SOL. I was in a pretty big online franchise with a lot of my buddies since madden 16 and ever year after 16 the mode got worse and worse. The online franchise is on hiatus as of this year and may never comeback
I'm talking about offline franchise. I've heard rumblings about it being a real big cluster xxxx and not sure I want to take my chances.

I only bought madden to play in an online franchise. I absolutely hate the game and wish I didn’t waste my money

Mut lost me when they put a huge emphasis on training points. You have like 4 or 5 different currencies in Madden. It’s frustrating as a player that doesn’t want to roll the dice and spend money on packs
Crappy thing is, is that it works. Kids still spend 100s of dollars on packs. [censored] my brother in law stole his mother’s CC to buy packs. Haven’t touched madden since 18.
Shoot even 2k gives you some sweet free cards and bunch of offline content to grind
I know through locker room codes and staying up on content you can get some good free stuff in 2k. But if you think you’re grinding in the show, go play 2k, it’s a GRIND. I would like 2k more if their market didn’t absolutely suck.
I hate that they have two currencies, at least at the year I played it, and the one you use to buy cards on their market they didn’t sell. I wanted the 99 Jordan card so bad. This was 2k19.
I just play The Show all year, and somehow I still am not very good.

I’m gonna get all Oprah honest with you. There was some kind of study done that showed ppl that only played the same game got something like “fatigue reaction”. You’ve been doing the same thing for so long it becomes complacent. Seriously play another game for a day or two and come back and come back and you’ll be back to normal

I think people get so mad at this game because there are so many known issues that SDS won't, or can't fix, and since they have no competition, they have no hesitancy to fix them because they know we'll buy whatever they put in front of us.

Yeah, EA has a host of problems.
My biggest beef with them? Overworking BioWare and making them crunch to the point where a lot of their creative talents have left. And the result? Andromeda and Anthem. 🤮
God I was so hyped for Anthem. Such promise. Biggest disappointment In a video game right there
I’m honestly worried for Dragon Age 4 now. I loved Inquisition

Maybe I will try that, thanks for getting Oprah honest.

Yall should follow Ryan Moody on YouTube. He makes great video discussing all the issues with madden and how they treat their customer base

Madden used to have a feature, that allowed to you design your own plays (within NFL rules) and you could use them as part of your playbook (not the same as "custom playbook"). It was a screen with pixels and x's/o's which you could design each route/with timing of each WR and RB. You could even have movements and timing for your OL -- you could have your LG or LT delay for a second or two, and then pull right to the 4 or 6 hole for example. It was a blast watching my friends/opponents try to stop some of those plays in H2H matches. You were NOT allowed to use those created custom plays in online h2h for some reason....and that was the only thing I did not like. That would have been great, instead of being stuck with the same boring playbook as everyone else. Regardless, EA eventually completely removed this feature (custom created plays), for some reason??? So, I stopped purchasing the game every year. I think it was the '04 version that last had this feature, but not sure.

A favorite play, that I can remember, was to have my "X" and "Y" WR run slants (one shallow, one deep), clear out the middle, and have my "Z" receiver, delay for 1 or 2 seconds, and then run a slant undernrneath. The X and Y, cleared out the middle and the Z caught the ball in stride about 90% of the time for a 8-12 yard gain. If my opponent brought down the safties, I would just hot route X or Y to a Fly pattern, and be in single coverage deep. It was beautiful, when it worked...which it did most of the time.

I played DD since may bought madden 22 and played it for a month. Played the show today for the first time in a month and WOW! It is insane how much better the show is in ever aspect compared to madden. From DD to gameplay graphics content etc etc etc. I can go on and on but this game and team are so much better then ea and madden it isn't even funny. Im not a fan boy or anything I play all sports games but no one does it better then SDS just being real! Anyways glad to be back going to get grinding again.
I bought Madden and have played three games. It is so terrible. Same exact trash as the last time a played 2-3 years ago.
The last game I played was an online ranked seasons game and my opponent was crowding the line….I think I had Courtland Sutton from Denver with like five steps open on a streak up the seam. He catches and and then drops the ball because the defender dove and touched his heel. I just shut the game off and haven’t touched it in weeks. Same exact animation from two years prior that was broken.
