Re: Madden 24 Superstar K.O.mode

Madden really needs to add superstar ko back for the game in my opinion superstar ko is really the only fun thing in madden besides franchise. Me and my friends literally all only play superstar ko but it’s so much fun and to me never really gets boring. So madden and ea sports if you see this please add superstar ko back to madden because to me it’s the only thing that makes the game fun.

    I like many others purchased Madden 24 in hopes to play co-op superstar KO in a squad. Season one there were connective issues and now in season 2 they have removed the entire game mode?? EA WHY! False advertising is not how you increase a fan base. I want to return the game and get a full refund because the main mode I want to compete in is … not making you enough money? Complete BS and I’m tired of you doing this to us.

  • I’m done with EA’s games. Every year it’s the same game and they remove the only likeable game mode available in Madden 24.

    Superstar KO was removed without any announcement or forewarning. It was the only reason I bought the game after many years or not. The advertised the game mode, I bought it for this reason, and the pulled the rug from us. A class-action lawsuit requires only 40 people and I have a family of attorneys. Either they bring it back, give us a refund, or get ready to pony up.  Who's in?

    Yeah, I'm pretty pissed about it too. Literally the only game mode I play because I want to play with friends using our favorite team against another team of 2 or 3 people. Is that REALLY too much to ask? Because I damn sure ain't playing that MUT Squads garbage. I leave the Ultimate Bums to * their money away on packs, but leave MY DAMN GAME MODE ALONE too.

    Pathetic that the most team driven sport has a game that's actively trying to eliminate all aspects of teamwork and forcing you to play by yourself. Wack.

    Before the introduction of online multiplayer via SSKO for Madden 22, the last Madden I bought was Madden 25 (the 2013 season). Didn't buy Madden 15-21 because I knew they took out Online Team Play/Communities and there wasn't any online co-op. If they don't turn this mode back on and it or a comparable mode isn't in next year's game, this will be the last EA product I ever buy.

    Same here, my guy.

    But unfortunately EA doesn't care about us or what we want because they can't milk any additional money out of us while playing co-op 2v2/3v3 like they can from the Ultimate Bums.

    They get our $65-$70 at launch and that's the last dime they see from us for the rest of the year. So they remove other popular modes in a pathetic attempt to funnel more people into MUT and steal more money through microtransactions. We're going to call a spade a spade.

    @Johncenafan2267 Unfortunately this isn't even the first time they target this demographic of the game and jack us around after we spent our money. They introduced Online Team Play on Madden 11 (2010 season) and the first time you could play with friends online against others and it was BANGIN'.

    Halfway through the year they trotted out Ultimate Team for the first time and before the end of the year they realized how they can monetize it. It was obvious it became a focus for EA considering how much they peddled it the next game.

    Online Team Play then got a rebranding into "Communities" but at least it was still in the game for Madden 12, 13, and 25 (the 2013 version) so we at least got 4 years of online co-op before they jerked the rug out from under us in attempts to try and funnel more players into MUT so they could steal even more of their money through microtransactions.

    It became obvious that was their intentions because in the lead up to Madden 15 there was absolutely NOTHING mentioned by EA that the mode wasn't included and there wouldn't be any online co-op; A LOT of people didn't find out about it until buying Madden 15 and searching through the menus fruitlessly for a co-op game mode.

    Now we're back at that point after 3 years (or should I say 2.1 years) of EA introducing SSKO only to pull this trash barely a month after the game came out.

    No, EA, we're not going to magically migrate to MUT Squads because WE HATE ULTIMATE TEAM AND THE BUMS THAT HAVE TO BUY THEIR PLAYERS.

    Marking as solution for visibility. 


    Hey everyone, 

    SSKO is temporarily gated as of the 4th of October. It will be unavailable until a future game update. 

    For updates on this please keep an eye on the @MaddenNFLDirect channel. Below I've included the message where this was announced back on October 3rd: 

    Thanks for your patience!

    @EA_Kent Uhh, YEAH. No **** we know it was "gated"; I even replied to that tweet over a week ago (that went unanswered, as always when there are any questions not pertaining to Ultimate Bums).

    What we want to know WHY it was gated and WHEN it will be ungated. I don't know if I could spell it out any easier for y'all clowns. Would you rather me draw you a picture?

    "A future update" doesn't mean squat to us because who knows when tf that will be. Will it be one of the weekly updates? Or will we have to wait a month+ for another ****ing title update before we get our mode back? It isn't this hard to understand what we want to know.

    It clearly isn't something major that requires it being removed entirely from the game for an indefinite period of time because the mode was working just fine as of October 3rd and every single of us were playing it just fine for nearly TWO MONTHS.

    Also LMAO, y'all merging and moving all these angry SSKO threads into one because it was taking over the main board with all the threads sitting at the top. Y'all are an EMBARRASSMENT to this franchise and John Madden is spinning in his grave over this TRASH y'all continue to tarnish his name with year after year.

    This should be fairly idiot proof even for you morons at EA. WHEN WILL SSKO BE BACK AND WHY WAS IT REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE? We are well aware the mode is gone stupid, that's the title of the post. How about giving us the information we want or a refund for this trash game when literally the sole reason I purchased it was this mode with cross plat. I would not have bought had I known this mode would be pulled. Bet I won't spend another dime on an EA product because EA will always find a way to ruin everything.

    I just applied for a refund on Xbox citing this bait and switch trash. I encourage anyone to also do this. Here's the link! https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/buy-games-apps/refund-orders

    Get that refund and wait for gamepass to have it, maybe by then SSKO will be ungated. If these idiots at EA won't give us the answers we want, we deserve our hard earned money back. I will never buy another EA game. They'll just take my favorite mode out abruptly mid season.
