Madden NFL 19 is a horrible game. Older Maddens like Madden 05, 06, 07, and 08, along with games like NFL 2K5 and All Pro Football 2K8 have so much more depth than Madden 19. Not only that, but Madden 19’s gameplay is as unrealistic as it possibly could be, and the game is riddled with bugs. Other sports games like NBA 2K19 and MLB The Show 19 blow Madden out of the water. The NFL should be embarrassed to put their brand on easily the worst sports game out there. Madden has fallen to an all time low with their latest installment and things don't look to be improving anytime soon.

The former Game Director who left last year recently gave in-depth interview on bunch of different topics. Basically EA only cares about "back of the box features" and what they can sell that year, not long term. It's why Longshot was made, he didn't want to focus on that but they made him anyways so they have something to sell. He also suggested that they take a year off and focus on legacy issues and fixing the game, they told him no. He was told in 2016 to "Dumb the game down" because it was becoming too complex :snoop: which made him rethink working for them. EA is really the WOAT company :scust:

An exec told him that his nephew loves the "Aggressive catch feature" :skip:

The fact a nba game kills madden in sales is nuts.

They need to have 2k make nfl games
Twice voted worst company in America :hhh:. Also, let’s not act like 2K would be great with an exclusive license. Look at NBA 2K. They went and turned it into an MMORPG built around nonstop product placement, microtransactions, and RNG lootboxes with the same ultimate team mode while neglecting gameplay, player model accuracy, and especially the AI in the game, not to mention all the missing players from their classic teams in the game.

Nba 2K is leap years above any sports game out. 2k has more content than any game out not just sports.
