So i stop madden after july but return after Zero Chill, should I come back earlier ??
Damn. You stop playing during maddens peak. I feel like the first few months are the best part of the game and then it falls off after zero chill. The beginning is good because everyone isn’t running the same thing and the game is fresh. It usually takes a couple months to start seeing everyone run the same stuff.
Bro what!? You should be on the opposite schedule, if anything. Unless you just really love getting bulldozed by 400 lb running backs.
come back in mid-november it's a safe bet i did it last year get's you prepare but also excited to build your team. i like coming back on holidays cause it helped immerse me into the game.
this is from a perspective of a person who bought this game early august over the years.

Nah, yer schedule seems mostly on point. MAYBE if you find a $35 sale around Black Friday, you could consider it, but it's difficult to justify much more than that for a yearly roster update -- in terms of value for yer hard-earned dollars. I guess at a certain point it's personal preference, but anyone who says peak Madden is August-September must love not being able to catch the ball. The entire game revolves around abilities. I don't liek it anymore than the next guy, but without these abilities, most of the basic features of the game (specifically the players/cards) simply do not function well. Receivers can barely run routes and struggle to catch the ball, it's basically just putting faster receivers on the field, so you can run a streak simulator. Run game didn't come alive this year until they introduced the glitchy ass spin move, hopefully overall player movement improves for M26.
I'd love to think that EA will fix all of the broken gameplay that the community has been BEGGING them to address for years, but the company has shown zero indication of being able to implement even the most basic stuff. During M24 cycle they patched the game numerous times to try and address stamina, only to ultimately revert after a series of failed "fixes" -- same with pass catching. They drag a slider too far in one direction and every D-lineman is running away with shoestring picks. They drag the slider back the other direction and everyone watches the ball hit their hands and immediately fall to the ground.
But i'm sure Madden 26 will be the most real Madden ever! Clint is online humble bragging about how it took him ~2 years to get long snappers into the game... yikes. I'm embarrassed for the guy. So clueless.
