Wonder how the hit tackle registration will be.

I agree.

After playing NBA 2K, Madden's customization feels like a PS1 game.
The franchise mode needs to be separate from My player.
And we need to be able to create "our league" how we want it with custom teams, edit draft classes, and more!

This is why I don't trust that Brady screenshot. This was a screenshot that was supposed to be in game Madden 25.

Curious, do people actually get excited for and buy the special edition versions of these games? Seems crazy to me to pay $20 extra for ultimate team content.

Meh on Story mode unless it can some how start you in the last year of you college career, then do workouts and a combine and then you get drafted. As for the cinematic thing like NBA2K uses...PASS!

If it's the only mode you play it makes sense. I pay extra for games that have pre-order incentives that I value. Madden isn't one of them because I don't play MUT but for a lot of people all they play is MUT so it's a good deal.

I hope not. Franchise is the only mode I play. You would think they would give each mode the same amount of time and attention.

Did I play it? I'm playing it now. Players look the same and run the same. Yes they through a couple of new animations in there but overall, look and movement is similar to previous games. Madden looks to be following the same path. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
