Same way you may not like The Last of Us, but for you to say it's a bad game is also flat out wrong. There are standards in the industry, in any entertainment industry, and as consumers we trust critics to uphold these standards in evaluating games/products.

There's always one.

This! I much rather see stats from the previous year as well as his entire career. I like to play the game with a somewhat realistic feel. I would be more likely to sign the RB who had a 1000 yards last year and is rated a 73 than the one who had 300 yards and is rated an 83.

is the commentary that bad? Worse than in madden 13 and 25?

I get what bx was trying to say... All that matters is whether you like it or not. But the point of a review is to be objective and base it off facts and not personal preference. Maybe I can still enjoy a game that has poor graphics and a bunch of bugs, flaws, etc. However, ignoring those flaws just because I personally like the game anyway is not necessarily objective. I think it was a good post, but maybe aimed at the wrong person and came out the wrong way a bit.

I liked the honesty in this review. It's still hard for us that haven't played the full game to grasp what we read or see on YouTube. The review says it's good but the score (although OS defines a 7.5 as being good) isn't good.. Regardless I'm ready for Tuesday, hopefully whatever issue is on the game, hopefully it'll get patched and we'll have that Madden vibe that we haven't had in years..

Personally, I believe if they can't fix the problems with CFM, then they need to move on from Looman. Enough is enough. No way this game should ship with CFM stat/progression problems this year.

We’re aware of the sim stats issues. We’re looking into it.

This is why Madden needs to use the Ignite engine and steal FIFA's running technology. Their players take short choppy steps and change direction realistically without the user loosing control or feeling too slow.
