Forum Discussion
@michaelkottlerNever wanted to be dismissive, but the reality is, we’ve rarely seen successful outcomes from these forums. More often than not, they’ll remove a feature (like the 2pt Fullback Dive they nixed yesterday) and not address the issue. I was surprised to see that playaction plays were again disabled for flipping this season, with new play designs they didn’t actually know were going to be ‘broken’ or not.
In the end, the pressure or directives have to come from outside. Due to licensing, this is the only real option for mobile NFL content currently and so we have to operate within its limitations. If you move towards contacting Ms Hoagland, lemme know, I’ll jump on that train. I would love to connect with my hometown team’s (Browns) NFLPA President JC Tretter on this as well. He’s heard plenty from players on the Madden frustration aspect of this.
Again, not trying to dissuade you from posting or griping, but simply trying to put the pieces together for what I believe is the only path left to shake this tree and hopefully get results.
Skillz is real, the NFL invested in them and has a developmental path set with them. One can only hope it unseats the current option that is rife with simple errors, glitches, disparities and so much more that doesn’t make sense from a business perspective, let alone an actual NFL Rules perspective.
Well written!
Great thorough criticism! Great thorough response! An actual grown-up conversation.
Crickets from EA!
Seems like the bottom line here is any five year old with daddy‘s credit card can dominate. No skill required.
Sad!
- 4 years ago@RunTMC666 Agreed.
- 4 years ago@RunTMC666 And thanks for your positive feedback regarding my original post along with your accurate appraisal of itsmraj2u's excellent response. Despite being an avid video game industry news reader it never occurred to me to directly contact an NFL representative as itsmraj2u suggested. He's so right and it's so obvious that I don't know why I did not think of it myself. The only related third party I've ever contacted was Google Play who were very good about promptly refunding a $29.99 MM purchase that I never made. So itsmraj2u's advice is extremely helpful and reveals insight, knowledge and attentiveness on his part.

If you start some sort of movement and need strength in numbers. I can certainly be a part of it. I also run a league with 10 other players that I’m sure will join the cause.
I’ve been playing this game a long time. I’ve seen a decline year after year. if there was something better, my league mates and I would jump ship in a heartbeat. Our friendship and camaraderie in my league is what has kept us together playing this game at this point. Having to adjust to this game as it declines is a hurdle every season for us. We always look for the silver lining because the brotherhood and friendship that we have for each other is stronger than our disappointment in EA as they butcher the game season after season.
