Unreal, the only thing that kept me coming back to Madden. Funny they didn’t mention this BEFORE release.

It took over a month to make the game playable by fixing the interceptions. Now if you want to start a franchise right now in the week they are in they are telling us another month.

Disappointing but atleast I can quit wondering when they’ll update it. Thanks for posting it.

Smh this is supposed to be a weekly thing. Madden needs to go back to square one on their modes. Crazy that this is actually a good game gameplay wise

How hard is it to have the live roster, records, and stats load into the game weekly? NBA 2K and MLB The Show do this daily. I’m about as loyal of a Madden player as there is, but this is genuinely difficult to comprehend. EA has really gone downhill as a company.

People including myself have speculated elsewhere that the feature may have limited support this year due to either (or possibly both of):

1 - limited access to Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis to record new commentary to go with the Play Now Live content. Historically, Play Now Live includes new commentary from these two every week talking about the goings-on in the real life NFL. It is possible that as Gaudin and Davis have seen their NFL roles increase in visibility and importance, their availability to record weekly commentary for Tiburon has decreased.

2 - limited man-hours available inside Tiburon due to the ongoing development of EA Sports College Football, due out for release next June.
