How come EA never answers to critique of the game and how its not even close to as good as a game that came out 15 years ago in NFL 2k5? who can I email to get answers? as a paying customer i feel as though i deserve answers.

The AI from 15 years ago is programmed better than this years madden somehow?Defenders get lost in their zones constantlyconstant ball glitches,receivers dropping wide open passes, with catch ovr over 90animations that trigger when they shouldn't, O-linemen stop blocking once they get disengaged on, they just stand there instead of looking for someone else to block, if you see gameplay from NFL 2k5 Olinemen will block a defender, then disengage themselves to block a defender running free to the quarterback, in madden this does not happen, resulting in being able to cheese blitz's at people without them having more than 1 second to throw the ball, this is what i do to everyone i play online and its BORING.theres no challenge, they can never get the ball out because they blitz is so OP because of how bad the AI programming is for the o-line. lack of on field presentation (see NFL 2k5)Franchise mode being 100 times more deep in NFL 2k5 and even madden 08.Lack of AI sense from CPU franchise teams making awkward decisions that don't make sense.I mean the constant glitches makes the game damn near unplayable.Should I keep going?Plus, my question was more so that the critique of madden has been horrendous, its user score is well below every other madden in history because of these problems yet EA never responds to any of the criticism thats out there. why is that?

and i can almost guarantee i wont get a satisfactory answer to this either. If i even get a response at all. either that or ill get a generic response saying "we'll let our team know about these issues and do our best to fix them!" no, take a page out of cyberpunk and come out and tell your customers why, why is a game that came out 15 years ago able to hold up SO well against such a modern game, give us a reason, respond to the criticism.

Do you think the numbers would be the same if there was an actual competitor out there who could also make football games? ofcourse the numbers are going to grow, ITS THE ONLY NFL GAME THERE IS. The game grows as the NFL grows as also gaming grows. the numbers have nothing to do with it. check the user score, players HATE the game. but EA never responds to anyones issues.

@Sabreu1989What you are asking for them to confirm is solely based on opinion. While I agree with your sentiments, and we could easily argue that franchise mode had way more depth in the past than prior to this year--or the whole last generation of consoles, the concept of fun is subjective. Somewhere someone is banging their forehead into a concrete block for enjoyment.Anyway, I just downloaded an emulator and played my copy of 2k5 and there are things I like, but the game is really dated. While it would have been interesting to see what TakeTwo would have done with the NFL license, this is the s-show we have. Take it or leave it, but don't expect any apologies for the product. Or any significant improvement....see the Next Gen release.

I understand that my specifics were more for a creative director or programmer. but theres absolutely no chance i ever get to talk to any of them. so my original question is how come EA has not responded to the widespread criticism of the game? how come no one has come out and at least tried to address the issues publicly? It feels like they dont care what we think about the game

How is Madden 21 not as good as NFL 2k5?

@EA_Blueberry I made a post about the differences between the old and new maddens, as well as NFL2K5 and Pro Football 2K8. It’s two video, that someone made. Go check out that post and watch those videos. That will literally break down everything the Madden fan base wants to see. As I watched, I kept saying (out loud) “hell yes! Bring that back!” “Hell yes! Bring that back too!”

It’s truly eye opening, when the guy goes over the comparisons and shows how far the game has regressed, since even the PS2 version.

I’ll just let you watch and see what I mean. It’ll make anyone shake their head and wonder “what happened?”

I’ll @ you in the post, so you can check it out.

@WrathOfHades85 Exclusive licensing and MUT is what happened. It isn't lucrative for them to do anything but the bare minimum. They'd rather spend their time and money making anti-TOS measures. They do that poorly as well though, and they know it but don't care.
