Has Madden ever been as bad as it is now?

This is a real question not just looking for people to validate my opinion. I have taken a few years off from Madden in the past but I can’t recall it ever being as bad as it is right now. Before anyone tells me to just not play, I am wanting to play a football video game and they have managed to make it where they have all of the NFL rights.

The gameplay is awful, there are glitches on every menu, the game just shuts down, people can run the exact same play every play, they recycle cards and give awful things in MUT. Just wondering if there ever was a time when Madden was worse.

No. This is the most Madden has sucked.

I think it’s just difficult to replicate real sports in football. Gameplay will always be based on glitching the cpu, it always has been. 

You just have to approach it as a video game because that’s all it is. Think about playing defense. You're playing defense from the offensive perspective. Imagine if EA flipped the camera and you now had to press a button to look behind you. 

I like winning. Its fun, but I don’t get bent out of shape about losing.

game is in shambles

For sure, I get it can be difficult to replicate a game. But with all of the revenue they are making they can’t even be bothered to not make it a glitchy piece of garbage? That’s too much to ask for?

I honestly do not know if it’s possible. If they could figure a way to make the computer have any type of IQ it would be great. Offense might get hard though.

Good day 

I have never seen it this bad considering the fact that they have had the game and the coding for quite some time and it gets worse not better and it can’t be a money issue because they have generated enough money between fifa  and Mut . I feel given the right amount of time another  company could make the game better if given the opportunity, I’ve only been playing for a few years, but the game looks very similar every year and it’s clear that  they are not  doing much.

This is pretty bad. Played every Madden before and then every MUT since 2011 or so.  Finally took the last 3 years off because it had gotten so bad. Picked it back up this year and shocked to find that it was Actuall6 worse. Cartoonishly bad gameplay when things are going right.  Unplayable garbage most of the time.

This is so me….it feels like it had gotten incredibly bad and not at all what I used to enjoy so much...I barely played the last 4 years but remember playing almost all of the years of madden since 2000 when he was on the cover… I just wish they would do better

There no way you guys think this is worse than Madden 20.  Either y'all didn't play it or you're trolling.

The entire MCS I think there were 4 passes thrown the whole time.  Developers made a game that played as if it was 1904 Notre Dame vs Michigan.  Rumor has is they considered removing the forward pass from the game all together but the NFL said no.

it's amazing what they can get away with for having a monopoly... crazy... epic games could make a football game 10000x better and be more generous to their customers also

last year, last year still easily worst madden of all time

Idk ppl forgetting the madden where you can win with a punter as QB and not throw the ball
