Change in Madden Games over the Years

I've been watching some reviews of Madden 19 on YouTube the last few weeks and am disappointed to see that my suspicions are actually a reality with the game. 

I have to note that I haven't bought or played a Madden in a number of years.  The reason is due to the move from actual "football playing" to fantasy and ultimate team *.   I could care less about either and the focus from EA on both of them is astounding.  The graphics for Madden 19, in addition to the movements of the players, sideline folks and umps, is laughable.  EA, you should be embarrassed.

Loot box development and implementation into games will eventually be gaming's downfall, but the way EA has incorporated them into Madden makes me sick.  How about you spend more time on the game of football itself instead of all this other nonsensical *!!!  Reading some of reviews from the Gaming industry also seem to have cast a blind eye to the practice and that's laughable as well.  I'll never buy another Madden game until this practice finally ends and the actual football product gets an upgrade.

Once again, EA, you should be ashamed.
