EA Corporate Leadership Ruined Madden
There are so many aspects of this game that are essentially broken — to name a few:
- OL blocks getting blown up
- OL / other blockers not engaging in blocks
- Weight mechanics (e.g., HB like Bucky Irving running over Cam Heyward at the goal line)
- Certain controls not working properly (e.g., the cover ball button barely works for me)
- Commentary not syncing with actual teams (e.g., every CPU team is labeled first in the league in passing)
- Negative cap space in Superstar mode preventing influencing front office to male trades
- Inability to see past accolades and season and game stat records in Superstar mode (e.g., they don’t let you see your trophies won, or your past record performances)
- BS reward system in Superstar (e.g., gatekeeping skill points through MTX)
This franchise is how old?! There isn’t a valid flipping excuse for this.
My speculation is that it’s those greedy execs confining the devs with ridiculously short deadlines and barebones resources, so they struggle to flesh out the game properly. You can’t seriously expect me to believe these folks are incapable of improving the quality of a near 40 year-old franchise.
Bogus, man! Bogus!
