Yeah Dave I know it, unfortunately. He had some jackwagon excuse of why marking it solved would actually help, and the intern tech making 30K a year's only "solution" was unplug your console and plug it back in, LOL. And now, it sounds like even if my ranking ever comes back, it'll just vanish again in a couple games. What a load. Madden has been going downhill for a long time know, they bought the exclusive license for the NFLPA, have no competition, and an endless advertising budget. I've stuck with them through all of it because I love H2H online football games, but this is pretty well the last straw. H2H has basically died, at this point it is all Ultimate Team * because 15 year olds who deliver pizzas will spend 2 bucks to get a pack or whatever and get a 99 rank Dion Sanders or some * over and over again and just micropay and micropay to EA.
The fact that it was a problem in 17, yet they still just ported the glitched code over knowing full well it was glitched is it for me. I'd like to think that me not buying the game will make a lick of difference, but for every adult who's been Maddening for years who finally gives up on EA, about 1,000 more kids are turning 12 and will start buying this abortion of a game. The saddest part of this is, EA/DICE put out some incredible games, have some of the best developers and engine designers etc etc etc... If they put like 1/8 the effort into Madden that they put into Battlefield or the Star Wars games, they could make an incredible game that I'd be happy to spend 60 bucks a year on for a roster update. But, the product is complete garbage, and ima stop buying it. Only wish I had a hard copy I could burn or sell or mail back to EA or something. Deleting the game just doesn't have the same satisfaction of desecrating a disk.
Anyone new to this thread, give up, you will not get your ranking back, and don't count on a ranking in 19 either.
