I agree and I chalk it up to bad management by the Madden brass. They seem to see progress as the ultimate goal which would be fine if the game had been perfected in its original state first. That has never happened. They have not just refined and improved the existing game for a cycle or two. They are not seeking a near perfect game before moving on to the next gen. I see this in every industry unfortunately. Car manufacturers for example are guilty of the same thing. Maybe it’s because the consumers are too fickle, only caring about getting the latest greatest instead of the tried and true.
Same as every year (this is like year 15 for me) I give the game a C+ and really it’s only that high because of the NFL licensing carrying the game. If it were just a football game with no NFL likeness it would be unplayable.
I understand. I found it laughable when the latest review of the game and mode came out. Worst part was the mention of how better the gameplay is in the mode, but not surprised that nothing changed in 10 years.
