It’s funny the only thing I’ve thought was neat about the game was a user made roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehawk Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) My brother got the itch during draft weekend and picked this up on the sale so I got it through gameshare. I really like the new Superstar KO mode. I really hope they build off of that with some additional ideas to improve even further for Madden 21. If they do, I may end up scooping Madden in a few months. Of course, Franchise should be the #1 priority. But I've given up hope of them ever seriously overhauling that part of the game.

I wonder how long it is before they follow the lead of MLB The Show and ax online franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long it is before they follow the lead of MLB The Show and ax online franchise. Games like The Show and 2K are more capable of surviving the removal of a true franchise mode, even though i don't agree with it, because they have full fledged "MyPlayer" modes that the majority of the player base primarily plays anyways. Madden has been unable to replicate anything remotely similar to that due to the nature of the sport. The Superstar KO mode gives them potential to break into that market though if they go about it the right way. I've been of the belief for a solid 5 years now they would make a killing if they implemented a "MyPark" style mode with a created player where you can play in "NFL Street" style matches with your created player.

I really want to play a football game too...but I know if I spend even $20 on it, Im still going to end up largely disappointed. So depressing. I dont even need a perfect game. If franchise were better, I could look past some of the gameplay flaws...but I play one season, then I get bored and agitated by all the shortcomings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise is pretty terrible on its own. However, if you go through some madden forums and find a sim league (32 user league), it's really fun. Not sure how realistic that time commitment is for you but just something to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those leagues play 2 games a week, maybe more. I was in one with Chris McAlister (former Ravens CB) and a Bills assistant coach (at the time.). It was a good time, but that schedule commitment is rough. And a lot of those guys are damn good at the game. We also had a couple EA GameChangers in there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are new to the game, it will definitely be rough because you're right, the users are really good (typically). That said, if you're into the football X's and O's, it's a great route to go. In our league, for example, you can't play outside of your zone, you have to pick playbook's according to your scheme, and each coach's schemes comes with particular drawbacks and perks.

My site back in the day hosted some "sim" Madden leagues. Once everyone started moving to GroupMe, amongst some other things in our own community, it became harder to keep everything together.

holt_bruce81 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I've played in a few Madden sim leagues in the past. It can be really fun, but it's time consuming for sure. In some of them they would advance 3 times a week. And I understand you try to make the play as realistic as possible, but some of the rules these leagues had were dumb. And you always had those 2-3 guys in the league who were huge tattle tales. And most of their rules made a lot of sense. like... 1. Can't drop back beyond 15 yards with your QB 2. Can't run the same play more than 5 times during a game on offense. 3. No WR or RB at TE And most of these leagues had very strict 4th down rules. Ultimately I had to quit these leagues because I just couldn't put the time in to enjoy myself. I mean you had strict advance dates and when most of the league members weren't playing a league game, they were playing online, practicing versus random opponents. Most of your league members are going to be legit. Edited May 4, 2020 by holt_bruce81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 @Dwight_Schrute and I are almost 20 years in to a sim only league we started a few weeks ago. Sim logic is still pretty meh. We have 4 Superbowl wins between us in 6 appearances (as Rams and 49ers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
