Ok, I started my offline dynasty on the 27th...knowing full well that Madden needs at the very least one patch before its playable...but thats not where im going with this.
1) I actually really like this game!!! It feels "good", yes it IS current gen, and yes there IS so much room for improvement, but for the last CG Madden the game play was decent, compared to other madden games.
2) In the first offseason I let Jay Cutler go, he was a 90 in my dynasty, and to be honest IRL I probably wouldn't have, but it was time for my Bears to move on.
3) The Raiders picked him up in free agency, 3 years, somewhere around 40 million. Pretty obvious they are looking at him as their starting QB going into the next season right?
4) I imported the 2014 draft class with real names, and spent a considerable amount of time scouting everyone projected in the first round. Although, my intent was to trade down or even out of the first round and acquire future picks. So, who picked who, was more of an observation than a competition to me.
5) And now for my real problem, with the Second Overall Pick in the 2014 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders pick.......Casey Pachall QB from TCU!.........WTF?!?
So they spend $40+M on a 90 overall QB in the offseason, only to turn around and use their second overall pick on a QB?
Honestly, im not going to blame EA, im going to blame the fact that the XBOX 360 is almost a decade old figuring in development time, so you cant scream at EA for some things that the box itself just cannot compute.
But here is my point, in November I will be buying the new systems, I WILL be buying Madden, and I WILL be looking very close. They will no longer have excuses for this stuff, even they have admitted that the new systems are going to allow them to do things that they want to do now, but can't. If the gameplay is MUCH improved, and the AI "Brain" in MUCH improved, if I can walk away from a game or a season, and say "any of that very well could have happened IRL, if I don't have to look at stats and think "WTF?", if in the Super Bowl, they don't award the TROPHY TO THE LOSING TEAM. Then I will keep purchasing Madden every year. If not, than IM done.
All I can say is that, I am grateful the new system is only a few more months away, because this is the LAST CG Madden I will ever purchase, its just lucky for them 4gen is coming LOL.
