Best Madden in years, at least for Franchise mode. The game play is amazing with the simulation mode, With All Madden level and at 9 minutes and 25 second accelerated clock, i am getting nearly exact 2023 nfl averages for total yards and points on offense and defense for my user team and the CPU team i play against. Also for once i dont have to change any sliders. Been hoping for that for 20 plus years. Its unbelievable how spot on it is. No matter what teams i use. This is such an improvement. Oh and i love the questions you have to answer as the head coach that can help or hurt your team in press conferences and interviews. The whole presentation is so fun. You killed it EA. I pray you dont change a thing (no patches on game play of any kind that take away what is all ready in play. Including Stem Glitches, 2-4 Double Mug, spin moves. They make the game really fun). l know people complain that play online in competitive (arcade) mode, but i believe its designed to be nothing but scoring and unrealistic plays for people who dont care about a real simulation experience. They should know that going in. If you want a real NFL experience, play a Franchise on Simulation mode/All Madden. Play realistically (run and pass), dont bomb everything in order to limit turnovers, take short and medium throws when they are there. I am telling you its so much fun!
