Biggest Madden Gripe

[StrongIsland666]

I'm a long time Madden player as most, I understand you don't want to have Rosters completely updated so you can sell Next yrs copy. But for Online gameplay they should at least update the rosters without the Drafted players

No PC version.

Too much of a focus on MUT and Madden Mobile. I don't understand the appeal of a fantasy football card game (and never will).


Just give me an immersive game like M-06' PS2 with the depth of HC-09', add in some updated graphics, and I will be a happy camper.

Poor basic football fundamentals, such as a lack of proper WR/DB interactions; poor OL/DL play and logic. etc etc.

Biggest Gripe: The extreme compartmentalization of football and the fact none of the compartments work as advertised. Living worlds, war in the trenches, infinity physics (never see the same tackle twice), player sense 2.0, read and react defense, 60 calculations per second (or whatever the number was), etc....none of it works as advertised. That includes Player Stature and Player Ratings - they are advertised in the game but do not impact gameplay.

Gripe #2: Ugly Animations lead to morphing, sliding, suction, duplicating and sequencing animations. Where's the authenticity in the Animations? Why are we still playing with the same animations every single year, I mean some of these are at least 4-5 years old which makes the game stale to look at.

Gripe #3: Graphics. This still doesn't look next gen compared to other titles, especially during night games. Night games look better on my PS2.

Gripe #4: Player models. Why does everyone look like an NBA live player? Skinny but with bulging muscles...NFL Football players don't look like that. Tony Romo isn't that ripped EA.

Animations, Animations, Animations. Madden is so far behind it's not even funny. I don't know how long we've been asking for better running animations. They one thing happens on every plays seems to get no attention. These guys move like robots. Animations in Madden are overall stiff and not what we see on Sundays.

I'll keep it to one, sort of, since you said biggest gripe.

Animations... individual movement, including footwork, as well as player interaction. Players just don't move anything like real NFL players. It's a major factor in ruining the spacing & timing of the game.

But the list is long. Thanks for keeping my post short.

I'll also keep it to one, sort of, since you said biggest one.
