I stopped buying Madden years ago. Once I realized they didn't care for the actual game players, only the casual consumers I hopped off that train quick.
They've literally packaged the same game for YEARS, tweaks here and there but never a full out make over or REAL changes. It took almost two decades to (I hear) get LBs to play like LBs and not acrobatic CBs.
Audible against the CPU and they magically audible with you. They knew whether you were running or passing and if you changed, they changed with you
I got sick of slamming controllers down in frustration. I just wanted a simulation football game that was fun to play. Maybe we'll get it, maybe we never will but EA won't get any of my money until they make some real changes...
In franchise, they let you change the prices of hotdogs, but couldn't give you a practice squad...or forced you to have a FB even if you played a 1 Back playbook
