Like it's not realistic I can kill 500 people in call of duty either. That kind of thing. I'm not saying laziness ISN'T part of it, but I do believe there's some intent there and I'm hardly a Madden fan or defender or anything I phrased it that way because I remembered reading a review of the game early on where they were complaining about this problem. I thought I read EA say it would be fixed, but looking back it was a different franchise bug that was patched. So maybe it was intentional 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under NO circumstances would Justin Herbert, Justin Jefferson, Jaylen Waddle, Travis Kelce, Nick Bosa (!), Joe Burrow, Josh Allen (OLB), Jamar Chase, Trevor Lawrence, Terry McLaurin, Jeffrey Simmons, Najee Harris, DeVonta Smith, Sauce Gardner, Tyson Campbell, Tristan Wirfs, Trent Williams, etc. ever hit free agency, yet they all do/have in this game in all the rebuilds I've watched. Don’t sleep on the Bills super team of Lamar Jackson and backup qb Josh Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was definite intent to address it, but as usual, it was implemented poorly and hasnt been fixed. Madden franchise mode is low on their priority list and always will be because they cant monetize the hell out of it and milk kids and idiots out of stacks of cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's too bad the MUT stuff took over but it would probably be crap regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUT is a major issue, but by far the biggest issue with Madden stems from having zero competition and exclusive rights to the NFL brand that sells games pretty much by itself, regardless the quality of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to go there but I figured we all know this is the real issue and I was trying no to preach to the choir (no offense for bringing it up obviously). Then again people long for 2k football and their NBA games are the same stuff now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky he got tackled for loss on 2 plays where it could have easily been called a sack and he kept his rushing yards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kinda like when I saw an over/under bet on FanDuel for Brady to have 1 yard rushing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Progressive fatigue was probably madden’s best idea to date. My edge rusher was .5 sacks from breaking the record but he was apparently so tired that he only played 1 play in the final 2 games. My receiver didn’t get 1k yards for the 4th consecutive year cause he was so tired. And my corners were all so tired they’re jogging around like they **** their pants and getting outrun by Noah Fant for 75 yard tds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 sounds like that graddy dude and others around his level jobs are on the line. I hope these mean more tho maybe NFL letting the top heads at EA know they may look somewhere else if this product does not improve. Always here how the NFL values the reputation of their product, so how can they be fine with all the bad press madden has been getting for nearly a decade now?
