Superstar Mode Issues

I have been a longtime madden player and keep being dissapointed every year with the quality of this mode.  Please fix this or sell the Madden rights to a company that will actually honor the fans that buy your product.  

  1. Even with the updated rosters it does not translate to this mode.  Players stay on original teams from initial roster setup and do not appear on new teams even when starting career from scratch after update.  
  2. When I run hurry up offense and audible a play the receivers run different routs than the one I selected. 
  3. I still cannot simulate games.  I do not know why this is still an issue. 
  4. When the clock is under 10 seconds in the 2nd or 4th quarter the game will automatically simulate the game and not let me stop the clock.  The simulation should let me have complete control of the clock.  The game won't kick a field goal even in range and I will either lose because time expired or go into overtime if tied. 
  5. The game automatically goes into hurry up offense if I have the QB run the ball and slide.
  6. There should be some kind of generic story element for player satisfaction. Not to the degree of NBA2K but at least something to keep players invested.  
  7. I would like some user input over trade and draft considerations, sometimes after simulating an offseason I am stuck with substantially low rated players or even below minimum number of players.
  8. Also how am I not able to negotiate on my own contacts, either money, options or years.  Its dissapointing and frustrating.   
  9. It appears to have improved but over fumbling is still a problem in the snow.

Please consider these changes for future updates.

Thank you

  • Omg thank you for saying this game mode absolutely sucks. I just create a player and move him to a team and play that team on franchise mode have all the same customization except for that player cause they still do the random face scan selections if you create a player in the Main Menu which they could move the same player customizations to that but we’ll wait for another 10 years for them to fix one small detail that’s been broken or missing since a past madden way to go EA

    This game mode has some serious issues that remain year after year. This game use to be good. Maybe if people stopped spending money on the ultimate team game mode EA would actually focus on this game modes.

     
    The hurry up in-game animation issues in the 4th quarter with under a minute left in the game and no time outs is a game breaker that is so frustrating.  After the teams line up the game freezes. 

    Also the player fatigue glitch that occurs when in the playoffs where the starters are all benched has been broken for years.. wtf EA?!

    I will not be buying Madden 27 until the game gets an overhaul. The fact that I have been paying for the “new release” each year is a joke. I would like to see what percentage of the game is actually changed year after year. It appears to be less than 10%. Update rosters, add updated highlights at the menu screen and release the game for $100 bucks. We as the consumer are idiots for thinking they are making changes.

    This game is the embodiment of madden telling us to go screw ourselves a buy the next game. This game legitimately feels like they didn’t put any effort into the gameplay. Blocking is non existent, superstar mode with the inability to edit sliders or wear snd tear is an abomination. The receiving mechanics having like 8 animations with about 5 or 6 of them resulting in drops is infuriating. It genuinely feels like the single worst sports game I’ve ever played, I just deleted it off my console for the constant disappointment and frustration it provides me.

    Amen!!! EA and Madden need to see this and understand it! Also, I'm fed up with playing Superstar and I'm trying my hardest to be good at LB but we are half way through the first season and two of my teammates have broke the Sack record. It seems like my teammates are always beating me to the QB. But every Team we play against they go through all their QBs. I don't have it on Arcade. I have it on SIM and it doesn't make you feel like a Superstar when the CPU players are putting up 60 sacks between two players half way through the season!
