Impossible to get a good ultimate team without spending $500 or more. Genuinely no ways to improve your team unless you buy packs (you will probably receive one good starting player for each $25-50 you spend on packs btw). Then the player you spent 100 dollars to get will randomly get injured every game.
Waited a month to open the season 4 packs and the items that came out of them were absolutely worthless. Well, anything you get for free in ultimate team is worthless.
Simulation in dynasty mode is broken. There are no logistics whatsoever. Road to glory is somehow terrible compared to the older CFB games. They took out the high school experience for some unknown reason.
I haven’t even mentioned the gameplay yet, which is disgusting and full of bugs. Offensive linemen will run 20 yards downfield rather than block the defender right next to them. Some of the tackle animations are just ridiculous. You will have 200 lb running backs trucking over multiple 300 lb defensive linemen for 3-4 extra yards. A lot of times in online modes the user defenders can’t move for the first couple seconds of a play, which makes no sense. The pass blocking is always bad regardless of who is on the offensive line.
Commentary and presentation is awful compared to what it could have been. There are also connection issues for most users every single game. Never trust Electronic Arts to make a good product. This game is terrible and it’s a shame EA owns the rights to this sport (Madden included, although I didn’t buy that game this year after years of disappointment).
