Every year I've bought it when it was on sale for like $20. I'll start out enjoying it and thinking how much I miss playing it. Then the flaws start creeping in. I'd end up taking all kinds of videos sending friends like "look at this bullshyt, how is this still broke".
My biggest beef with the game is that every year it seems some position was broken. I used to love building teams with different strengths. I remember one year I got a team with prime Aaron Donald and JJ Watts both on the D-Line. They'd go against a O-line where every player is a 75 or below overall yet were being single covered and couldn't get off their bocks at all. Other years a sick DB group that routinely blew coverages or getting styled on by subpar WRs even in man coverage with guys with high coverage ratings.
Then you add in the overpowered DBs, CPU defenders able to stop on a dime at full speed and change direction without slowing down, high rated OL just going dumb at random and I eventually just give it up because it stops being fun and more frustrating. This is the first year I didn't even buy on sale.
You not missing shyt.
I don’t know why people in here talking about franchise because all those positions problems you were talking about shine the most there.
Stacked d line, receiver core, oline means shyt on madden against cpu, the mechanics are still weird asf. You still lean on olinemen without trying to when you runn the ball, wrs catching passes over two dbs routinely(not even wrs who’ve done it in real life).
For some time zeke still had a X factor, Josh jacobs literally just got his recently… game is ass I don’t care what nobody says.
Your QB can’t even catch wind from another player or they make him overthrow everything. You can throw to the right out of fear but sense someone was deadass just a couple yards by they’ll make your ball end up on the left field in a dbs hand somehow.
Tackling is shyt still…
Dline gets off blocks fast ASF.
If there was other options folks wouldn’t buy the shyt.
