Has EA abandoned this game?
I thought the news of the sale of EA could be promising. I had hoped. I guess that was a wrong assumption...
After seeing a title update to Madden set to drop tomorrow, I am starting to believe they are just abandoning this game. I cannot remember the last quality update. They added uniforms and equipment, but have done nothing to address any actual issues since the first title update, really. They have actually created more issues and glitches. It seems every time they add something, it messes up something existing, and then they choose to just leave those things broken.
I have lost hope that any existing issues will be fixed, and I firmly believe we will not get any further updates for this game. I don't get why EA would add anything new at this point when they can't even get the things that were already in the game at launch to work again/correctly. They COULD fix most issues with a small patch, but choose not to. They chose to release the first roster update in October after the season was halfway finished. That is how little they seem to care.
I truly just wish the things that were added to the game this year simply worked. EXAMPLE: I wish in Dynasty, I could go into recruits(once they are on my roster) and actually edit the styles tab. Throwing styles, running styles, stances, etc. Instead, this has been broken for months, and they choose not to put out an easy fix/patch(hasn't worked for the majority of the life of the game at this point). You edit the styles to what you want, and once the week advances, it just randomizes everything in that tab. HAHA. Each week, my Freshman QB has a different throwing style and stance. SUPER REALISTIC!!! If they can't fix something this small, that is a huge embarrassment for EA and the College Football 26 team. It was in the game at launch, and lots of these were newly added to the game this year. Why add something that doesn't work? Somewhere, they added something to the game that broke this feature in a patch or title update, chose not to fix it, and just decided to leave it.
PLEASE EA, just stop adding new things until you can get your game to work with the features it currently has. No sense adding a feature that probably took a lot of time to build, and then just breaking it a couple of weeks later and leaving it broken for the life of the game. It is lazy and honestly just shows you and your team don't care. It is sad to see the Madden team still pumping out updates, and the College Football 26 team just giving up on the game already, with a little over 2 weeks left of the regular season. I expected more in year two. Just more effort. Instead, we got fewer title updates, fewer roster updates, and fewer fixes. At this point I guess we will see if they even put out a college game next year. Nothing surprises me at this point.
