It doesnt look like Ill be buying Madden this year. For the 1st time since 1996 and getting it on Super Nintendo...
Lets take a quick moment to applaud EA
I buy games to play with friends. MUT and just playing 1v1 gets old after awhile. Been playing team play or team play communities since both was installed into the game. Always had a Top 100 community and when they took communities out me and my buddies would join MLG just to be able to play team play. In the 360 version of Madden 25 there was communities and team play. Then in the Xbx 1 version of Madden 25 they took out communities and left team play, to which no one played cause it was set-up so piss poorly. It blew my mind that Microsoft would take OUT features from 1 console to the next. I got burnt on the deal, as did you guys too if you love team play. I bought the consoles before the price drop and I probably played Madden 5 or 6 times on the new console. Football is the ultimate team sport and EA has taken team play completely out of the game. Ignorant. Ive been playing FIFA exclusively lately. Its hard for me to believe that EA makes both FIFA and Madden. You can tell that the developers for FIFA care a ton more about their product than the developers for Madden. FIFA encourages team play and you can play 11 v 11 if you want. In FIFA you also get like a 25 song soundtrack. Most of the songs Ive never heard, but I actually enjoy most of them. Madden all you get is 1 crappy instrumental that Im guessing everyone turns off within 45min of getting Madden. Madden has achieved what they want. A monopoly and grabbing consumers by the balls. If you wanna play football, you gotta buy Madden.
Madden logic: "Hey, lets take features out of the game and add them back 3-4 years later and label them as 'New' "
Im obsessed and passionate about football, so needless to say Im pretty upset that EA has ruined football games for me.
