Issues and error's I have noticed:
Two franchise seasons into the game, this is what I've seen that needs fixing. In no particular order.
Kicking arc, is it supposed to only show a half circle? Every other version of Madden has shown a full circle.
Odd routes. I once saw a backup TE run a drag route from right to left. Ball snapped, he ran backwards and ran in-between the RT and QB on a drag-ish route. This was after the RT got pushed back a couple of yards. Since I saw this, and wasn't paying attention to the other routes, I passed the ball to him. The QB passed it to where the TE SHOULD have been if he'd run the route correctly.
I've seen a HB and TE, each on slants, crash into each other resulting in the HB being pancaked.
50 seconds left in the first half, someone got injured, red banner declaring the 2-minute warning.
On the screen after the game ends, it's never shown me completing the game goal of holding the opposition below X points, but I believe it's still giving me credit.
Same as previous versions, yearly stats, if you have a defensive player with a ton of sacks, but not enough tackles, they aren't included in the rankings for overall sack totals. However, they are still considered for the end of year awards.
Can we please have a setting where we change our own pre-season substitutions? I'm tired of pulling my guys after a series or two, and then having the computer put them back in, in the second half or whatever.
Better logic for the CPU regarding playing time. It's still keeping in the starting line ups in the second half on the 3rd preseason game. That's not what goes on anymore, update it.
Anytime my lineup changes, it resets the ENTIRE depth chart. Stop it! I don't care if I trade for a 3rd DT, it shouldn't affect who I prefer kicking the ball off!
When viewing offensive or defensive assignments, and bringing the camera back, once release there is a consistent graphic artifact or bug. This is on PS5.
I have a rookie QB. His throws aren't the best, yet. However, I've seen a ball literally go through a receivers hands. Perfectly thrown ball, to a 97 OV. TE. Literally. Through. His. Hands.
When throwing to a receiver other than the HB on a screen, the QB shouldn't raise up and throw in the air. No pressure, he jumped up like they do to get the ball over the rushing defensive linemen, except he could have stepped in and delivered a much better pass.
I have yet to see ONE facemask penalty. I have yet to see ONE QB be injured. I know that's something I can change via sliders, but even with default, I should see something.
Weather? I've seen the forecasted heavy rain games, but have yet to see one snow game. It happens, remember the old slogan, "If it's in the game, it's in the game."? Let's get back to that please.
There are a lot of things I like about this version, but as it stands right now, this is the buggiest version of Madden I've ever played. Madden versions: '93, '94, '95, '97, '98, '00 and all since then. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've played thousands and thousands of games of Madden. These bugs should never have made it to release.
/rant over.
