Is this ea trolling us please?

Ugh. How incredibly depressing.

Why go through all the trouble of creating separate modes!?! There messaging has been garbage. I'm not even sure what date this games actually coming out? Is it the 22nd? 25th is a Friday so not sure what's going on with that. Hopefully we can get sim mode straightened out by the end of the year via updates because I'm feeling strongly this message board is going to have a whole lot of feedback when this game drops.

Well, that was discouraging...

I hope not.... although that is usually where the sliders end up...

This is always going to be Madden's achilles heel. I figured the new settings would mean that we were past this mindset but clearly not. It seems to me that despite the modes trying to be catered to three different play styles, they're still going to prioritize accessibility to each mode over everything which is a huge mistake IMO. It's so frustrating that this is still an issue even with the separate game styles.

Maybe on Arcade mode they can dumb the defense down. But they shouldn't do that on Sim mode or even competitive really.
