    My apologies but, this the best Madden ever!

    It's a cpu vs cpu style players dream. I've been buying Madden since its inception and this is the most accurate sim experience yet.

    Even with the "sometimes" high completion percentage this game is beautiful.

    That's fair.

    But once you pick up a controller, it's pure FUBAR.

          The gameplay is superb, its the lack of changes to game modes. Specifically franchise. If they keep gameplay the same next year and just make it so that I can adjust my franchise more NBA 2K Myleague style and fix the fact FA's that are big names don't get signed (Kamara) and trade logic gets a much needed upgrade I'd be content as an initial start to next gen.

            No need to apologize for your opinion man. Glad you are enjoying it like that!

              Right there with you, man. Still wish we could simply put controller in the middle in cfm.

                If being unable to stop the CPU no matter how many coverage adjustments you make, no matter how good your defensive players are, how much pressure you generate, or how many exotic blitzes you scheme. Then sure.... this is the best madden ever. Honestly since patch 1.07 the coverage is absolutely horrible. I could literally put my controller down on defensive downs and have more success

                  Wow...please tell me a couple of things ..

                  First EA and it’s “Elite” minds took out a spectate mode (Cpu vs Cpu) some years ago..now you have to use the workaround slow sim..I assume that’s what your using

                  Are you experiencing this gameplay in Play Now or Franchise? (No auto sub formations -still broken in Franchise)

                  What are your settings ?

                  Are running backs using their abilities such a as -Trucking- stiffarms- jukes..are they breaking tackles and or juking people making them miss?

                  I saw none of this all backs ran generic and ran into tacklers and fell down..

                  I would love to start playing Madden again as I slow sim all my games.

                  I have been purchasing Madden for over twenty years IMO this is the worst version since ..maybe I’m missing something ..

                    I can definitely attest to the merits of slow sim cpu vs cpu gameplay (mind you I'm still on Madden 20). The game definitely plays differently when its cpu vs cpu instead of user vs cpu. You can have a pretty solid experience on All Pro with default sliders. There are some quirks (CPU timeout logic, QB pocket presence, etc).

                    I'm glad that someone else enjoys this style of play as well. Turns the franchise into a GM experience. The X-Factors and Breakout scenarios (despite their flaws), allow for players to emerge from out of no where (ex. player has normal dev, has some good games and performs well in the breakout scenarios, can become a superstar). There is an element of luck/randomness that makes the mode more interesting IMO.

                        The whole CPU v CPU thing baffles me, but whatever...

                        But I agree...this Madden is really good.

                        1. Strong CPU QB play
                        2. Outstanding coverage dynamics (depending on the user's mental skills and player ratings)
                        3. Great run game
                        4. solid injury/penalty dynamics

                          I really think this is the best Madden from a gameplay standpoint. The lack of innovation in CFM is the only huge con for me, but the gameplay is so good this year that I can live with it.

                            I fired up 21 as I put it aside for 20.

                            I really really tried to see the great gameplay everyone here is talking about. Really tried.

                            Back to 20..

                            Maybe it’s me ..or maybe it’s my settings.. but it’s awfully arcade and the ball carrier generic running is painful.

                            Hoping for PS5 and a football game from Madden.

                              IMO, it's the best Madden ever with a controller in your hand as well.

                              It's unfortunate to me that people, in a lot of posts, feel the need to have to "apologize" for feeling that this is a great or even the best playing Madden ever. That says a lot about of the tenor of a community.
