Same here. Same thing as last year. I'm so glad I'm just playing this game through EAs play pro so I can play other games and didn't purchase this garbage. I'll NEVER buy another madden.
As a 30+ year old gamer with 25+ years of IT experience. Its SAD to see from a technical level how little this game is polished nowadays. They could put a ton of features on this, make it free to play and STILL bank from their insane MUT profits.
HOWEVER, I personally feel MUT has ruined this game. Its nothing but a micro transaction money grab with yearly roster updates for 70 bucks. I don't care about ultimate team, I haven'et since it was first made clearly pay to win. I tried leveling up, got to 80 and got matched up with 99 teams w/ players who spent 500+ ... Screw that!!
I just want quick play to be a league sim. At worst, I like to play this weeks browns upcoming browns game in advance, Now I don't even get that as a "premier feature" which takes EA ZERO time. I truly cannot stand EA and hope they BUD LIGHT themselves into bankruptcy. After a few years of APEX and seeing how ignorantly WOKE its gotten, its just a matter of time and I can't wait!!!
One day EA will be the Bud light or LIberty Safe's of gaming. Your current shareholders are dumb to support the current leadership and you'll pay for it soon enough.
