Honestly it's the worse madden to date. AI manipulation on passing is overpowering. We are at the mercy of what the AI will allow our defender to do when defending the pass and far too many times they do the opposite of what is logical to make a play on the pass, if they do anything at all. Expect another year of throws leading DIRECTLY to defenders which is why most people choose Out Routes, streaks or drag routes. Its like EA said "lets make it more toddler friendly and make every pass placement in a spot where defense has a 50/50 shot at playing the pass now. Smh.. The run is NCAA all day, break a ton of tackles even multiple hit sticks and still break a 20+ yrd run easily. The play artwork looks like some developers autistic child drew them, the all around gameplay feels cheap and phony compared to gameplay of the past. You would think that EA would've learned not to use 1 development team to create 2 different games from how badly they ruined the Fight Night games after Round 3 when they introduced UFC.. Round 4 and Champions were UFC gameplay without the kicks and grappling, they were terrible. Same here with Madden, this is just NCAA with a Madden name.. pure garbage coach mode BS... So sad

Another disappointing year of Madden.. The new play art is absolutely terrible. The running?! OMG, this is nothing more than NCAA with a different name. Honestly with all of the computer interference during a game we minus well just pick a play and let the cpu run the play.. it's so obvious how they will blatantly manipulate a players pattern or effort to catch or defend based on what status the opposite player is (xfactor or star).. Tired of playing on defense against an xfactor WR and I jump a route only to watch my defender barely put any effort towards intercepting the pass. Reaches low when he should jump, runs with his hands out when he should dive,blocks the pass when he could clearly catch it. I get it, it's how the cpu assure that the xfactor WR or QBs get their stats, by manipulating.. But that means we're playing the cpu not the actual player.. Also on offense, pass the ball and watch my receiver jump to catch it only to see a defender dive 4 yards shoves me in the back while I'm still in the air and my receiver drops the pass... Linebacker are still jumping 15 feet in the air from a stand still to intercept passes intended for receivers 10 plus yards behind them. I try to throw a bullet the game randomly lobs it and vice versa.. the game still controls star linemen and allows them to just blast through a line if we try to run up the middle.. it's too cpu or AI based now, we minus well just play coach mode.. I can go on and on and on.. but just like everyone else sees I see it too, EA are greedy manipulative people, they could careless about making a quality game. They're locked in as the only company allowed to make NFL games so hey why make a quality product when they have no other choice, right? Is what they've done considered to be a monopoly 🤔, and Sean Carrico review is a fake review

It use to be about technical skills, now with the emergence of all the characters with weapons, and are lightening fast and have magic even some all in one the game has taken a serious step backwards. That, in addition to the easily 1 button configured combos makes this a SPAMMERS dream game.. it's Terrible compared to what Tekken use to be. Blue power up move can be used anytime during match, really cheesy, but can be countered or stopped by a jab so it's not much of a power move a all. The red power up move can only be used once a players power level is critical and honestly it's really cheesy too bc it will kill a ton of power from opponent so much that is almost like cheating.. as a matter of fact all the things that or ways you wish you could've cheated in past Tekkens is basically this game.. you don't need much skill just pick a character with a weapon configure your buttons and Spam away. Then blocking SMH its terrible and always has been, it's amazing how they haven't designates a block button yet.. 2.5 stats you see 3 bc there's no option for half stars.. then you have the Juggle combo feature, smfh, this is probably the worse of the worse. The way that a player is bouncing around mid air during a combo has got to be the weird imagination of some child developer, I mean it's ridiculous, not to mention when you finally hit the ground and while laying there a low kick can magically lift you back into the air to be juggled again and again even off of jabs.. it's crazy, and to top it off if you don't hit flat on the ground you'll hit the ground and your legs to do what some call the "gay spread", spread and lift allowing the opp to start another combo... game is very cheesy... they gave it no thought at all
