Madden 22 is the worst game I played from EA

@D_Candyman93 

If you were lead designer for the games what would you do to make these games the best you ever played?

Thank you for responding. I would start with the gameplay. I would fix the blocking, for pass plays. On most passing plays after you catch the ball with a receiver all the other receivers will not block and stand there. On defense I can jump a route with a corner or safety and they will not put they hands up to swat it or catch it when I press triangle or square. When I run a coverage defense every none and then one of my corners or linebackers will leave their coverage to cover someone that’s already being covered and leaving a wide open receiver. On a deep ball my corner want even react, he will just let the receiver jump up and catch it. I mean I click on everytime and still they will not react to the ball. It have gotten a little better since the game came out. 

Let's also not forget the coverage "dumb out" a lot 

The only people do in this game anymore is us PA boot, PA crosser, roll out and throw deep bomb passes....and even if you play cover 4 drop....a lot of times your corner that is on the opposite side of the field of the deep crossing patterns and is in a deep quarter coverage....wont actually do his job and drop into his zone and it leaves these patterns open a lot. 

The game looks great and actually plays good in offline modes. Online the game is a very unresponsive to usering your players.

I have attributed this to lag....as I see other players Doing things I cant online....such as juke moves, spin moves....etc. I know the connection issues arent on my end so it has to be EA SPORTS servers. And...before anyone wants to blame me or act like they're trying to solve something....take a look at all the complaints on reddit, on this forum...etc. Also, look how many people complain of the same issues I have that play FIFA online. 

Fix the servers is another issue that needs to be addressed. 

The game itself has become very animated. I suspect the animations come into play when you try to click on a defender to come back to the ball while it's in the air and you press Y to try to INT the pass. 

However....offensively I canf spin or juke or move well in ONLINE mode. The game offline? Not too bad other than the coverage dumbing out. Its looks good and the player movement good. If only it played like that onljne.

First of all I’d bring back the damn challenge button. I’d rather you remove the button completely than to see myself get screwed on a bad call, pause the game and see “challenge” with a lock symbol next to it. Secondly get more realistic with the physicality of the sport. If i tackle a guy in the backfield he shouldn’t be able to fall forward for a positive gain of 4 yards. Also mid game lags when I’m pressing a button to throw repeatedly and he begins to throw and doesn’t and just falls or gets tackled for a sack. Or when i fall into the end zone it be a touchdown instead of being short. When I’m 3 yards into the end zone. Also not making players play before their capability just because they’re not a superstar or X factor. They didn’t get to the nfl by accident. The AI is horrendous sometimes. Instead of your guys making a play they watch the man in front of them catch them ball then decide to move. Sometimes my receivers won’t run their routes at all for 5 seconds and then they’ll start running later as if I’ve just snapped the ball. Ridiculous. 

The only way to challenge a play is to play the game on simulation and not competitive. Not sure why, but that's what I discovered. A lot of Madden's issues are that they are too afraid to build a new foundation for the game. A lot of the issues are band-aids that they apply every year to fix a glitch/issue. Doesn't feel innovative. 

Hopefully, EA can build NCAA from the ground up and then build Madden off of that.
