BayRaider Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Passed this year. Bought Madden the past four years (off eBay though, won’t give EA a dime), same exact game every year and stealing peoples money. M21 looks like the same game yet again with a 1.3/10 Metacritic Review Score. And people that defend with the “All Sports Games are Repetitive“ argument, that’s not the point. The point is the game is completely barebones in general AND repetitive every year. I might buy M22 (eBay) because I wanna stay up to date and it’s the only football game, but I’m not buying this year 100%. EA is trash, if ANY company was allowed to make an NFL game, literally ANY company, doesn’t even have to be 2K, then Madden sales would go down 60-70% and eventually disbanded within three-four years.

It had some nice things about it, but much like All Pro 2K8, it was a half hearted attempt. And dont get me wrong....I get it. The NFL license on its own will pull most people towards Madden...and EA knows that. However, NOW, more than ever, I think fans would be willing to go another direction for a great football game, even if it wasnt NFL licensed. It will never happen, because no one would want to take the financial risk of making a great football game without the NFL license,,,,but I think alot of people would be interested and it COULD be successful if it looked like a better overall offering than Madden. But yeah, it will never happen. Its sad. Screw Madden and the NFL. Spot on 100%, word for word. I’d buy a 2K Football game that wasn’t NFL Licensed in a heartbeat. Even if you can’t Mod it, I just wanna play a REAL Football Video Game. Something Madden is not. Madden isn’t much better than a Mobile Phone Game, which they charge $60 for. Complete and utter garbage. Edited September 7, 2020 by BayRaider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Just seen a YT of someone running NOTHING but Slants. Every drive - Slants. Not even a variation, it's the same playcall. He scores on every single drive. Either a TD or settles for FG but the AI cannot stop slants, it cannot adapt, it does not learn. Madden has been telling us for years that the engine adapts to your plays and makes adjustments. BS!

Absolutely. Its always, "one step forward...AT LEAST one step back" with Madden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to love the virtue signaling of making him an 81 when his last year of actually being in Madden was a 74. He improved dramatically not playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madden has been telling us for years that the engine adapts to your plays and makes adjustments. BS! The AI has had the same exact logic FOR YEARS. I still remember last year (or was it the year before?) when they said they made certain coaches/playbooks play differently depending on the situation? Nope. All lies. The CPU still does the same garbage over and over and over and over again. Down by 30 with 5 minutes left in the 4th Q? Better punt on 4th and 1 from mid field. Have the ball with 45 seconds left in the half and it's 2nd and 12? Better run, run, punt! It's so bad. 13 hours ago, 43M said: The ability to defend slants will be a revolutionary new feature in Madden 22.

BayRaider Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 So Kaep is back in the game and a big 81 Rating. My response in another thread: 81 Rating? This guy was a 75 Rating and listed as the Niners Backup in M17 and now hes a 81....? Lmao. This is purely political. Glad I already boycotted Madden this year, especially with its 1.3/10 Metacritic Rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehawk Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Madden ratings are even more so now tilted towards name recognition. Gronk as a 95 still cracks me up from time to time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
