Worst Madden of all time
I'm not usually one to complain but this Madden is putrid for a multitude of reasons.
The kick meter: No way should the kicking be so ridiculous in the game. It's relatively impossible to have it so shsky in Buffalo and Chicago EVERY game. It's not that windy during every game in real life.
Injuries/Suspension: If we wanted 2K to make football games, I'm sure we'd campaigning for them to do so. This is a video game. We should be able to use every NFL player in the league, regardless of injury/suspension.
In-Game Behavior: Just like you kick players for griefing after 3 delay of games or encroachment penalties, players should be kicked for wasting clock all game. It's bad enough that online games have been reduced to 4-minute quarters. What can anyone accomplish in a 16-minute game anyway?
Custom Playbooks: What is the point of creating a custom playbook if we can't use it online? It doesn't give any unfair advantage whatsoever. I shouldn't have to use a playbook that anyone else can use. NFL teams don't use the same exact playbooks; so why should we? We should be able to have the experience of being an NFL head coach while playing.
This disappoints me because the actual fluidity, animations, UI, and presentation are better than ever before. So, there's the opportunity for this to be the greatest game created. However, these changes have made the game inconvenient and unbearable. I'm honestly regretful to have spent my hard earned money on this game.
