KICKING METER OPTION BROKE

After the release of the patch today, even though I have my kicking meter style set to classic when I play online head to head it is the new meter (which is awful may I add). I have already lost a game because I have blown kicks with something that didn’t need to be changed to begin with. I play on PlayStation five and I hope that this is addressed immediately.

For some reason this happens only for online head to head. When I play anything off-line it is the  classic meter. 

This is such * how is this an issue now too

I think its now the only option to make it harder to kick field goals over 45 yards 

@wgdesignsgaming What!? Are you fairly certain about this?

If it's not broke don't fix it.  The old kick meter worked great for how many years?  No one was complaining "God this kick meter is terrible, EA really needs to do a brand new kick meter"  It doesn't fix the lag when you're kicking, it doesn't add anything positive to the game.  It made it worse, no one likes it.

Defense is totally broken.  It's been bad since the most recent generation of consoles.  This year it's exceptionally bad, and I mean exceptionally.  Priorities for this game are completely off base.  We add a kick meter that everyone immediately turns off, and you go and require it for H2H now.  Don't you collect metrics on this stuff?  No one uses the new kick meter.

I've stuck this out for the last couple of years, but the tone deafness is just unreal at this point.

I usually play a couple thousand hours, and I'm done after about 5 hours this year.  As much as I used to enjoy playing this game, it has just wrecked my hands.  I'm going to save my hands, and I'm going to just put the game down.  I am beyond frustrated.

It is so frustrating. Played a game today where all PAT,s were missed by both teams .It is a joke .I cannot understand the thought process

@KsiZzler00This Madden is a perfect example don't fix what isn't broke. The kicking wasn't an issue before, but the defense was. This game the defense and kicking sucks. Now there's a bug making us using this broken kicking feature, like come on. The only game worst than this 1 was Madden 19. Another reason why EA should not own the NFL license. This is my last madden. They lucky I can't get refund for this trash

@Bash8R It’s been a slow and painful decline since end of ps2/xbox era in my opinion. The first ps3 madden was such a regression and i think really until this year it was basically the same. The passing changes I actually liked but never before was the lack of quality control and such dumb and basic issues present at launch. For example, and I understand it’s minor in grand scheme of things, jersey selections don’t even work! Like, this is a sports game, the least you can expect is to pick a different jersey. Just shows such a lack professionalism on EA’s part.
