Re: Why is Next Gen not being brought to PC for Madden 22?

@jimmarshall I just saw your post about MUT vs franchise.
EA makes us feel like we are a dying breed for wanting to play franchise.
It is by far the least creative game mode of any game that I play/have played in the last..I don't know how many years.
It is so lifeless.
I saw madden's rating on twitch recently. HAHA.

Some of us just love the game of football, and want to immerse ourselves in an experience with/without our friends. I don't have a problem with the gameplay this year. It was actually quite nice when I played the ea trial on ps5. Rb's actually dodge lineman, and it seems more natural. But everything else is lifeless. Next gen stats is not implemented correctly. The whole GameDay thing is a step in the right direction..so that's on the field..what about off the field? They have a coaching skill tree that is so easy and basic. There is no real consequence to any decision..ever. face of the franchise is a joke. I mean it is the poorest excuse....
Anyway. And that's all next gen too. Imagine not even having access to half of the generic 1080p b/s lifeless cutscenes..or the next gen stats that read 22.0mph no matter who the player is.

MUT makes up over 50% of EA's entire revenue(not ea sports...EA as a whole!)
People are spending tons of money on these modes, and ruining it for the rest of us. Just like people spending $3,000 on gpus.
At least the gpu manufacturers have some competition(let's go Intel. Don't let big green get complaicent)

Sorry for the rant. I really would enjoy a good football game. Gone are the days where we have blitz the league: 2 level immersion.

Nba2k does a decent job only because they found a way to monetize it. Mlb the show is also in dire need of..something different.

Idk man..my fingers just wouldn't stop typing just now. Ea gets me like that

    @CBlan1224 you have perfectly illustrated why so many are now talking about giving Madden and FIFA up for good. business people run this company, not people with the passion for gaming who want to make the very best titles every year, including Madden. Madden was an EVENT 20 years ago. we wanted to play Madden more than watching the opening Sunday of football. but now? the effort put into Madden is now at such a sorry state that many now refuse to put one more dime into it.

    but you can't say anything to EA or the NFL because of the numbers you stated. as long as these people keep buying Madden for MUT and MUT only, franchise mode will get worse and worse. the only thing that talks?

    Money. Or lack thereof.

    Well this is just great! I haven't played a Madden for many years and thought I would try this one! After playing the game for 70+ hours I thought I would hop on to Youtube and pick up some hints and tips to brush up on my Defense & I was watching a completely different game in every aspect which lead to google searches and finally to here. BRUH, What in the actual * has EA done?! I dont think I've ever felt as violated in my entire life! I've had some good screws in my life but EA has royally * me and many others on this one!
