Same boat. Love the onfield gameplay and graphics. Lots of cool contextual animations have really taken the action to the next level.
But off-the field (presentation, sliders, cfm ,etc)? Feels more like Im playing Madden 23.5 and I refuse to pay full price for half an upgrade that doesn't work as it should. Like you, I will either wait until it's 50% off (or more) or wait until it hits gamepass. Depends on how/when/if they address the broken aspects of the game
