That they pulled resources from CFM, as opposed to hiring new people to specifically work on this mode year after year goes to show their commitment towards this mode...

This company has taken shortcuts with Madden this year, and it has been extremely apparent.

Didn't Buy the game in large part because of the excuses that came along with it.

Just because you enjoy it, does not mean you are the target demographic. Little Timmy is referring to very casual and first time Madden players. if you're somehow offended by that phrase, not sure what to say to you.lol.
And yes,the game Has taken steps backwards, especially in QA. so many bugs and glitches, some are gamebreaking.
All this coming on the heels of Rex stating that QA was his major goal this year. They failed in that department, IMHO.

Re: Thoughts on Longshot?

I liked it but I also thought FIFAs version was better.

Re: Thoughts on Longshot?

It was better than i thought it would be but i still thought it was a cringe inducing mess. At least the characters and situations they found themselves in were somewhat endearing. I did chuckle at the show runner guy a few times. Gross stereotypes are often humorous.

I intentionally failed all the QTE and game segments just to see what would happen and it just steered you towards the obvious result by either redoing or skipping the event. The multiple endings must be superficial because the game won't let you fail at anything of consequence.

The production value was ok, and the voice acting and animations were pretty good.

I'd rather resources be used on other things but i also understand that game modes and features aren't necessarily a zero sum game.

My biggest takeaway after playing the mode was "why?" Why this and why now? Were fans clamoring for this kind of mode? Maybe so. I sure wasn't.

Not offended by anything video game related. I was more pointing out who childish and petty the Little Timmy thing sounds.

I like FIFA story better and it is a much deeper mode but I hate the loading times and all the unnecessary filler in FIFA. Also, FIFA wasn't that realistic, I was the teams leading scorer by the third game and still being treated like I was no name.

Re: Thoughts on Longshot?

I had low expectations going in, but it was even worse than I thought.

All of the "playable" moments were completely terrible.

The parts where you actually play the game were impossible to lose at.

The move the ball with your mind sections

The film room sections were for people that never played football before. "where is the safety on this play?" really?

The story is not affected by your choices whatsoever, except for the one moment near the end.

4 years of development time? **** off EA.
