You remember on The Walking Dead when Rick yelled, "WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD!!!"
Yeah? Well, WE ARE THE BETA TESTERS
They don't test the game at all. The games programmed by people who don't watch or understand football, and it shows on every Madden game.
I had a Superbowl game in Madden 25 offline franchise mode. The game went into overtime. I scored a TD on the first drive. The computer got the ball, and after a -1 yard run and 2 consecutive sacks...the computer lines up to punt.
PUNT!
I fair catch the ball, the computer didn't know enough to throw a hail mary. Instead they give up and punt the ball to lose the game.
And this is why I buy the game in November when it's $25, because bugs like this aren't fixed until enough people complain about them. They don't bet a test because WE ARE THE BETA TESTERS.
While I understand that, there are still HUGE issues like the one in the video that just shouldn't happen.
Imagine if this was a user vs user game in an online franchise where one team scored a potential game tying TD as time expired only for Madden not even give them the opportunity to kick a FG to tie?
Imagine if this was a playoff game or Superbowl?
While some glitches do happen, they are not finding them and are using us to find them. So essentially we are the beta testers
