"Make or break year" and they choose break..
Although gameplay is much improved madden 24 which is why I rated this at two stars unfortunately once again feels like a copy and pasted game with a few additional bug fixes and franchise "enhancements". The game has only been out for a few hours but by playing it I can already tell by December everyone will be fed up and the changes wont feel any more substantial than the additions that were added to madden 23.
Developers work on temporary game modes instead of focusing on what actually matters. Have you met someone that plays superstar mode all year around? Well I certainty haven't so If EA wants the game to feel different than adding pre game commentary, halftime shows, and post game interactive interviews (maybe purchase the rights to use ESPN, CBS, NBC, or amazon commentary and broadcast features) would be a good place to start. Not sure why they add features to the game to strip them out the year after. Taking 2 steps forward one madden and taking the features away that you added to create new items is obviously keeping the game in the same state it was the year prior. What happened to draft stories and commentary after a selection? What about making draft day look and feel realistic with stage walk ups and commentary and film review? Once again ea developers leave me with more questions than answers.
For now I will be impatiently waiting for the contract to come to an end in 2026 unless some real changes are made to the user interaction and irl gameday feel is added. I feel as if I can speak unbiased on a consumer end so If EA comes across this post please message me and I would love to work on improving this game!
