Glitchiest Madden ever! Every single game mechanic is entirely cinematic animations. You can't just run or move a player, they make non-stop cuts and jukes, when you run the ball, catch the ball, intercept the ball, scoop up a fumble and even when you switch to a player and attempt to continue running in the same direction they were already going. WRs drop everything with the slightest bit of contact thanks to all the animations. The physics are atrocious, ball carrier NEVER falls forward. Every tackle, regardless of direction will go backwards. Impossible to scramble, QB won't sprint until they pass the line of scrimmage. Player speed means nothing especially with the X-factors now. Game freezes often, especially in franchise, esp. if i try to edit a play, edit formation packages, ect. You literally have to play MUT nonstop to get enough stars, to get enough tokens, to complete enough sets, to unlock a single 78-79 player. The Yard could be good if the playbook was better and the WRs didn't drop everything while the DBs/LBs/DLs one hand snatched every pass attempt. Also what's they point building a custom character for The Yard when they're going to rebuild the character's size/stats based on the position you choose to play that game? Last Madden I will ever buy.

Gameplay is better than ever, it is fun, addictive, tons of stuff to do, plenty of different ways to earn perk points. Money is a little hard to accumulate but it's not a whole lot of stuff to buy. But the story line and the events that take place are terrible. I mean everything about the entire storry DUMB. You get kidnapped 20 times just to break out every single time and every region you free up involves you blowing up a bunker. Even some of the characters' dialog admits to how dumb this game is. Dumbest part is the ending because...... there isn't one! Fun to play, annoying to follow...... because it's so dumb.
