Which Madden is considered the best overall game of this gen?

[ODogg]

Madden 19 which is missing from the poll for some strange reason.

18 was the best. Madden 19 is a step backwards.

I’ll vote ‘19.

17 for me also. It also helped that I didn't own a console for two years and thus, skipped out on buying Madden. But...man, I went so deep with my Dolphins franchise. Everything felt so fresh to me.

So is it safe to say 19 is considered one of the worst? Now where would you throw Madden 20 into that mix?

I'd say 18, 20, 17, 25, 19

Here are my rankings

1. Madden 20 - Gameplay is king and this is easily the best playing Madden this generation. I love the game and am having a great time. Player differentiation is a real thing finally. Ratings spreads, far better draft classes, passing game is amazing. Everything just feels buttery smooth.

2. Madden 16 - I still love this game. Yes it is dated somewhat and does not have the gradual but impactful improvements CFM has gotten since it's release. Also no 4K HD but man...QB AI, Penalties, Fatigue it all worked great on Madden 16. I can still play some classic rosters on this puppy. Tackling was great. Really great effort and the last real great attempt at development for the simulation minded offline solo players like me.

3. Madden 19 - This game get's a lot of heat around here and rightfully so. I personally had a blast with it.....starting in March 2019. What a difficult cycle it was. Patched to death. In fact I had to stop playing it for 4 months. It was rough. But now it plays a good game. I have a crap ton of classic rosters and draft classes....but playing Madden 20 makes it very hard to go back right now. Maybe after some time passes I can go back. But not now. I would go to 16 before 19 easily.

4. Madden 25 to Madden 18 are utterly forgettable for me.

My top 3 is firm.

I don't know why Madden 18 is leading this poll. I thought the game played way better on the IGNITE engine. And I thought it went downhill on 18, and 19 was the worst.

18 was the current version when this poll was made and the current one will always win these polls.It takes time to put things into perspective.
