    Madden NFL 24 is an improved on-field product, but everything else leaves a lot to be desired.

    No matter what nominally noticeable technical changes are happening under Madden 24's hood, they don't represent the gargantuan changes needed to bring the NFL series in line with various yearly sports game competition.

    And here we go again. Madden 15 part 9. Once again people love the early access version and think it's good until EA patches it right backAnd here we go again. Madden 15 part 9. Once again people love the early access version and think it's good until EA patches it right back into Madden 15. At no point will you actually have control of the game. EA will again decide who wins.
    They will make sure to rush you into ultimate team so you can become addicted to buying packs and hoping for a few more good players so you can finally get over that hump and dominate.
    You never will. Do this... Go into MUT H2H and set it to friends only. You will see that you AND your friends all win between 45 and 63 winning percentage. By the way, you can check this on any system and any year of ultimate team. That's to encourage you to buy those packs then you wonder why all your reliable players begin to play like garbage as the new card you just upgraded to is absolutely on fire. After a month the new players become trash. Time to upgrade again. In fact you spend money and get cards, do quicksells for training which is a currency that you can't buy in cash but obviously you spent money in some way to get those training points. Also the same with certain holiday promotions. To make one player you have to buy his whole collection of cards. It all adds up but in EAs bank account. The deluxe edition gives you some junk for the ultimate team mode, each loading screen tries to beckon you to ultimate team. Be prepared for glitches, the game will be controlled by pre-programmed animations that take the control away from you so that EA can make sure that everyone has nearly the same record. AGAIN, that ensures that you "believe" that buying a few more players will have you optimistic that you will begin to dominate, but you won't. As an example, you may have Deion Sanders as your #1 cornerback then you buy Sauce Gardner. All of a sudden Deion starts to under perform, time to buy a new #1 corner. This happens all over your roster until the next Madden is released then when it is time for the new Madden to come out EA makes everything essentially free on this one. That serves to give everyone the GOD squad. Everyone has the exact same team which takes the fun out of the game and makes you want to start over on the next edition... Rinse and repeat, year after year.    … Full Review »

    They fixed the punt/kick return camera glitch from Madden 23, but you can't return punts in Superstar mode??? Wtf

    Definitely a slight    They fixed the punt/kick return camera glitch from Madden 23, but you can't return punts in Superstar mode??? Wtf

    Definitely a slight improvement over last, but still a copy'n'paste turd sandwich. Game should be damn near perfect after 10+ years.    … Full Review »

    Another year another broken glitchy mess! EA’s EXCLUSIVITY LICENSE NEEDS TO GO AWAY! If EA wants to continue pumping out half assed garbageAnother year another broken glitchy mess! EA’s EXCLUSIVITY LICENSE NEEDS TO GO AWAY! If EA wants to continue pumping out half assed garbage like this, thats fine, but another company should be able to make NFL football as well. They charge $100 for players to play early and throw in other incentives but come launch day you not only do you not get what you pay for, you can’t even navigate the damn menus without being kicked off of the server. I personally don’t care for MUT but respect to those who do, thats what you like. I like franchise and its frustrating to see it be broken like this. As far as X’s and O’s go, I do like the gameplay. Running and blocking feels better but I have to give this a score of 0 because overall I’m just ready for a change and I want to possibly play an NFL 2k or NFL the show one day.… Full Review »
