Re: 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.

    @wgdesignsgaming Just read it actually. Really just another head scratcher from EA. Changing things just to highlight a new ‘innovation’ without any comprehension of what works (and should work from launch) and what is a waste of time and resources.
  • 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

  • I feel your frustration and  totally disappointed with certain changes EA made with Madden 25. They remove parts of the game that should not be removed or changed differently. I give one example out of many I have, Madden 19 was the last year where you can hurry up your offense to line up. But now they rather have the clock ticking down, and your team is takeing there sweat time to line up to hike the ball. It just makes it feel like a generic football game....EA please just listen to about  a dozen or more suggestions I have to make Madden great again...🤔
