Darren The Inspiration

I haven't played madden in about 8 years because it was too easy and not based on skill. It rely too much on animation, has too many glitches, Face of the Franchise is way too scripted which lose its allure. Most importantly, Gameplay. No true Fade throws, no true lob throws over defenders, CPU turn around and intercept passes with animation when they were clearly running up field with another receiver. When running the ball blockers dont know who to block so they stop and get in your way. When afforded with a big running lane up the middle you get sucked into a lineman or linebacker who is being blocked because of animation. I even ran the ball straight up the middle and sense the hole was too big i got sucked into animation that literally had me running left being stuck on blocks untill i got tackled. Jump balls are trash, i don't mind a incompletion but the ball being volleyballed in the air untill someone picks it off is annoying. 1-3 attempts im cool 4-6 is too much. I can run the smae 4 plays all game and win with no adjusting. Simplicity in some areas are better than over utilizing features and actions. My biggest disappointment is Face of the Franchise its TOO DAMN SCRIPTED. You sim my seasons, I only get to play a certain number of games, im automatically good with little to no recourse, its not challenging, and you can't do nothing other than play games to earn points to upgrade your player. Adding mini camp challenges, practice challenges, and drill challenges to help improve player. Have your rating, confidence, or team chemistry affected by having bad games or throwing too many interceptions. Have things in affect like throwing 2 interceptions or having more than 15 incompletions affect your skills, skill points, or overall rating. Overall Face of the Franchise is too scripted, easy, boring, with little to no creativity or overall football development for your player. Im disappointed
