I’ll try to find the article for you. They considered this year‘s edition of madden a major building block to where they want to be and where they want to be is now what madden 25 is.  It seemed like low-key sneaky advertising, because when youre  reading it, youre  like oh shit I gotta get madden 25 if it’s the freaking best one! But what do I know

well that was easy

One thing that just came to mind that makes no sense to me…

 If the matchmaking is as good as they claim it to be, and they love engagement, Then why don’t they offer a play again/rematch???

so many times I’ve wanted to play an opponent again. But you can’t through ”play a friend” because it doesn’t count towards anything. 
 

also, if the matchmaking is so good, then why do they constantly put you up against a MUCCCCH tougher opponent in your Super Bowl??? That’s 100% BS and not good matchmaking. 
 

I went like 5-20 in super bowls this year

Why are you lumping Elo/SBMM and DDA together?

Elo/SBMM are widely accepted as the mechanism for picking matchups. 
 

DDA is an unproven boogeyman that people claim is real when they have bad games. Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t but I’ve seen no credible evidence to suggest that it is other than some screwy games that could just as easily be explained by EA’s shitty game development.
