I'm a top 50 ranked player on XB1, and I can tell you that if you go for it on scenarios like the above, chances are you will lose if you miss even 1 conversion. The sad fact is that you are FORCED to go for it, because kids have glitches to come in untouched and block your field goal or punt. Makes every game a damn struggle for me. Every game I get matched in, is a top 100 player, and pretty much whoever turns the ball over first, loses. The defensive AI is horrendous, and supposed 'fixed' in M15. The only team I have ever used online is KC, and every dam game is vs SF, SEA or CAR.

Yeah the defense was almost non existent in last years game.

Ah, the glitches. I cannot ****ing stand glitchers. It's bad enough that you play like a bitch (use the same 3 plays all game, go for it on 4th and 15 from your own 12, onside kick every time, etc), I can't understand why someone would want to glitch.

It's like campers on Call of Duty and the guy that just uses the one special move over and over in fighting games. Do you feel good about yourself? Are you actually enjoying this cheating bullshit?

Idk, I guess I'm just different. I play the game to have fun. Winning obviously makes everything better but I've never found myself doing something cheap in order to do so.

.... One thing I will say about the little bitches, though, it really makes sense to go for it on 4th down. The defense is just so pathetic that you have an amazing chance of converting and if you punt the ball away, you're likely just giving up 7 points in doing so. Madden really, REALLY needs to fix the defense.

This is why I hate playing online at times. That shit gets SO old. **** those gamers.

For me, it was when the feature showed up where you actually *performed* the pre-draft workout, I guess Superstar mode. What a crock of shit.

Also it went downhill when the gameplay just became completely not fun. Also when they began to butcher Franchise mode and made it a skeleton of what it used to be.

So yeah, because of this, it has been probably 5 years since I paid to let EA shit in my mouth unlike some people here.

After skipping last year, I'm actually excited for this year's version...kind scared I'll be let down again but with no NCAA this year, which frickin sucks, need a football game.

I would just buy Madden 25 used. If you didn't play it last year etc.
I'd bet an ice cold beverage that the difference between 25 and whatever is coming out this year is most certainly not worth the difference in cost.

Its 25.00 new at xboxlive I wouldn't give 10 bucks.

If I could find updated rosters for Madden 2001 for my PS2 emulator, I would be so happy.


One thing about the history of Madden is every generation of consoles, EA would strip features from the game and add them back slowly.


I keep waiting for gamefly to sell used copies of NCAA for my football fix this year.

not that you do not make good points...


but Madden was going down hill long before then.

[CoMoChief]

There hasn't been a good Madden game since 2004 or 2005

10 god damn years....

College game is/was better....so long to that game though.

God I remember game day and 2k. They were far superior. I wish EA would just give up or the NFL would let a better studio take over for a few years.

Yeah I'm ready for 2K to make an NFL game. They did an amazing job with NBA 2K14. Best sports game I've ever played. I've been a Madden fan for my whole life, but enough is enough with their product.

And Gameday was absolute shit as far as I can remember.

When does the new Mutant League Football come out?

The only football game I buy these days is FIFA.
