Is this the year EA finally takes a hit?

I can't run multiple teams in Franchise mode.

WTF is that?

And spin move is now useless. Every time I try to spin away it initiates a tackle animation.

Full disclosure, using my 10 hour trial from access. Not buying this year

I always thought that I just outgrew the game bc I’ve never enjoyed it on my Xbox one. I’m not technical, but I sense that you’re right and that - although I dont Have the ability to describe why the game sucks - I felt it... and that’s why I stopped playing

i haven't really been up to speed on Madden (i have 17 but i bought it used about a year ago just to have FM), but from what i can tell, the spin was super OP last year, so they nerf it this year. it seems that's all they do...joggle how OP certain things are and then nerf them

All true. It gets frustrating year to year

I guess having a legion of millions of morons willing to give them $60+ every year for the exact same Madden, NBA, and FIFA titles really is that valuable.

well they did get pushed out of the NBA market by 2K, which, apparently has the same issues with DLC bullshite

EA knew this was an issue with NFL2k which is why they bought up the exclusive license to kill it. this wasn't an option with the NBA and they took a major hit

EA is now a DLC/coin-based company. they have basically told their fans that they don't give a literal frick about their games outside of xUT. if somehow xUT loses popularity or is regulated, EA may finally have gone so far that they actually get punished

I'm glad I didn't waste my money on that trash.

I doubt it, this will be the best selling FIFA they've had in years solely because of the Champions League and Europa being in the game for the first time.

I only bought the game because I wanted to play with Drew on a good Saints team before he retired. That interest faded completely by the 2nd day of owning the game. I already returned it for a full refund from Best Buy.

I used to buy Madden every year. Before this year I last owned the Odell game and before that the Megatron one. Wont be buying another Madden game till massive updates happen to non MUT modes and until TD.com gives the blessing. Every year the game gets good reviews from media outlets that are either bought off or don't know better giving me false hope the franchise has turned around just a little.

It blows my mind that EA won’t listen to their clientele

We’ve been screaming the same shite for years

the small uptick in FIFA purchases is not going to offset the drop in players of the Battlefield, Madden, and Star Wars franchises they've slowly but surely ruined by not listening to their fan-bases. those are massive, already agitated fan-bases, who are getting served a pile of unfinished shite for the umpteenth year in a row.

and i wouldn't go putting all your eggs in that FIFA basket with the heater EA has been on the last 2-3 years. It's only a matter of time they screw FIFA up too.
