Madden 26 (trailer) is REAL. . .

Don't forget that they highlighted their AI Offensive blocking technology in the MAdden 25 trailer LOL

Nobody on here actually thinks you’re a cunt. @peatrick seems to have casually thrown the word cunt in there without realizing it would offend some. I highly doubt he had any malicious intent.

Either way kudos to you for spending less than a $100 on this game, that in my book makes you much better than a cunt!

Also if it makes you feel any better, on my way home from work yesterday the person driving in front of me pulled over just to flip me off as I passed them. I still have no idea why… oh well maybe I’m the cunt?

Lmfao. I know he is joking and so am I. I don't get offended even if people are calling me a cunt lol. And when people flip me off I just smile and wave. It pisses them off even more than if I flip them back. But I admit I can definitely be a cunt sometimes just ask my wife haha.

I'm just frustrated. A full year of development time and we get... weather? @kaotikords  heavy snow, fog, rain that will affect player movement should be interesting. Sounds bad for competitive gameplay.

And maybe that bullshit wear and tear system from College game?

Custom Defensive Zones should be interesting, although I'm not convinced EA knows how to implement effective Zone drops. 

+1000 new plays is what we should have gotten for M25.

Every single year they say,"we've listened to your feedback" and it becomes quickly and abundantly clear that they have not, did not and will not give a single flying fuck what the community wants.

60 yard hard flats are gonna go crazy

They're not really going to have us falling down and constantly slipping and stumbling (as a ball carrier) because they added some bullshit weather effects, right? 

This is for the offline players only, right? I'll be oh so sad if they force us to play in snow in Ultimate Team. 

Gosh, I need to retire from this nonsense. Enjoy!

you mean you didn't want more RNG deciding why you win or lose games?

Ill pass. Nothing but hog wash sales pitch of garbage every year. As long as the same greedy pos people run the show, not much will change.

You know you buying it 😂

EA will spend the next 2 or 3 weeks flashing their ankles at the simps who are either too stupid or too young to remember they did exactly the same thing last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. And the year before that etc etc etc.......

It's tiresome. A trailer that I guarantee will not translate to actual game experience much like "physics-based tackling" (which has been in and out of the game for YEARS!) became a collision clown car once it reached the customer, this trailer has a whole load of animations that none of the players will be able to do (who remembers the Mahomes throw on the run in last years trailer?) and, finally, has weather!?!?!? A bazillion bucks say they fuck it up or take it out completely by release. Of course, a full third of the league plays in a fucking dome anyway but, sure, you go with that as the biggest addition in your jazzy reveal.

Its bullshit. No one should believe a single thing these crooks say. Just buy the game as cheap as possible (because it's all there is) and hope that one day EA lose exclusivity so either they or someone else are forced to make a better game.

Only us old heads know you are ;)

Remeber side arm throws while diving in the trailer XD

Oh gosh, this was never intended to demean anyone, sorry for the poor word choice.  I am also an "offline" player, in the sense that i complete EVERY single Solo Challenge, typically the day the new content drops.  Relax, @Hawkour sorrry if i hurt your feelings.  If anything, it was originally intended as a bit of self-deprecating humor.  Although i have absolutely no clue what i was thinking when i posted that.  But i assure you it was not directed at any one, nor group of individuals... neither within, norr outside of this community.

I have to assume the person who developed a serious case of road rage for you simply following behind them had their panties in a bunch.  I don't mind engaging with folks in the midst of a road-rage episode, from time to time, but it regularly annoys my wife.  I'll flip someone off, but NEVER without cause.

Anyway, i have revised the original post to be a bit more choosey and careful with my word choices.

All good Peatrick! I myself was not offended I play on/offline like you and assumingly most of our fellow madden gamers. I just know and completely understand there is a large amount of the playerbase who avoid the online mess like A plague lol. Just want everyone to enjoy the game as much as currently possible and what I read seemed pretty cruel in the moment. It's...difficult  sometimes to know one's true intent in a forum so apologies back at you for calling you a special douchebag. However seems your a whiners fan so maybe you still qualify 🤔 ( very much kidding just to clarify )

I would be exactly as described and still might be (i.e. a very special douchebag) if i got bent out of shape over some fun message board banter, but the community is filled with all types.  Some dudes are PURELY head to head, others are offline only, then there's a decent mix of individuals somewhere in between.  Since discovering H2H Competitive Squads play, no other game modes are enjoyable for me anymore.

All in good fun, the modern era is simply filled with "whiners" fans, many of which whom have NEVER seen our beloved franchise hoist a Lombardi with their own eyes... but the hype is real.  Someone is going to win a LOT of money this year betting against the 49ers, who appear to be favored in the majority of our games (due to ridiculously easy strength of schedule).

This is NOT a playoff caliber team... at best a one and done, assuming we avoid injuries to key players (HA, good luck, CMC still recovering from the dreaded Madden Curse).  Anyone could realistically win the weak-ass NFC West, the days of me pretending it should be "NFC Best" is a thing of the past.  Rams managed to rebuild and retool on the fly, but i'm not convinced Kyle Banana Hands has a clue how to build a modern NFL franchise and our weak ownership is a serious concern, they seem to care more about spending money on soccer leagues.  Lil Jeddy wishes he were Uncle Eddy, who was a cut-throat, ruthless win-at-all costs type.  Now we're morphing into Cowgrrls West, content to merely remain relevant.  Might as well start hanging banners for NFC Championship appearances, this team has done NOTHING.  Except choke.

Kyle is a high level loser.  His entire team building philosophy is as out-dated as the music he listens to.  Sup Lil Wayne!  Having our SB hopes and dreams hinge on the ankles or calves of a ~37 year old Silverback is a fool's errand.  CMC will never be the 2022-2023 OPOY version of himself again, i don't know what people are expecting.  Let's hope Kyle can learn running back by committee, but i have my doubts.  He's from the Terrell Davis school of hard knocks.  He'll ruin CMC's career through overuse and abuse, same as Papa Mike did in Denver.  We simply cannot have CMC getting 400+ touches this year and expect to be elite.  OOF.  🍌👐

Thanks for calling me out.  No apology necessary, i've been called worse.  Most of us here are adults.  At least the ones who can type in full sentences, perhaps even with punctuation.

I just hope they improved the gameplay but thats just me trying to be optimistic. Because I love football and its the only football game we have so I try and make the absolute best of it
