Not only is it the same ol game nothing worthwhile that is new, gameplay is the same but now when you build your bad team over the years through draft and free agency, once you make the playoffs, your starters WILL NOT PLAY. Your backups will be the new starters for the duration of the playoffs making it not only extremely difficult to win (computer teams are at full strength) but who wants to play with bench players!? Did all the online fixes, fatigue to 0, progressive fatigue turned off, updates etc. NOTHING WORKS. Seems to be a very common HUGE issue. Simple Google search will show you the "fixes" that don't work and hundreds of reviews with the same issue. Never again will I buy a Madden game after 20+ years of buying this game.
