Bro I've been saying this for years. They should decrease speed & acceleration across the board for weather games especially snow games.

Also, when are they ever gonna bring the live weather option back that they had in NCAA? That was a dope feature. Why is it that we still can't we play cold weather games without snow? Come on EA.

We really should have some form of dynamic weather by now. If it’s not in by next year I don’t know what to say. It’s just sad the game has advanced so slowly.

Sad? Yes? Surprising? Nah not really.

I just can’t believe they’re writing hype articles about sideline models and puddles on the field.

For next gen systems in 2020 that is just mind blowing. People actually getting hyped about sideline players and coaches for a next gen madden game is well, maddening to say the least.

This thread has 35 replies in three days. I’m not sure “hype” is the word I’d use. It’s just nice to see them doing something, anything. We’re starved to the bone and will gladly eat breadcrumbs.

That’s fine and I respect that, but my question is, shouldn’t the madden community as a whole be expecting a helluva lot more than this?

This doesn’t scream next gen to me whatsoever. This is something that should have been done during the PS3/360 days.

This team doesn’t deserve praise for implanting a feature or two that was possible two console generations ago and calling it “next gen”

To each their own, though.

Well, EA is just EA and remains EA.
The company has the worst reputation of any publisher for over 10 years. The last big failure was antham. BioWare they have completely run into the wall.

It's sad what they want to sell to the console community here as next gen.

The craziest part about it is that nobody even knows what this next-gen feature will look like or what it will do. A week away from release and no footage on gameplay. No word on how next-gen stats integrate with XF or SS abilities. How do next gen stats impact existing franchise modes. Do generated rookies come with updated next gen stats? Madden does things so wrong, its sad. Any question to their developers and they take it as an attack. Oh well, it is what it is.
