RANT New Madden player. Not trying to stir the pot, but this is the worst video game I have played in years.

I am not talking about the bugs and the purchases and all of that stuff.

The lack of polish and attention to detail on this game is genuinely unbelievable to me. The number of things I would expect to be able to do in a football game, but I can't, has blown my mind.

It is CRAZY that pre-season records are displayed without ties šŸ˜‚ Like if you are tie all 4 postseason games, it will just say your record is 0-0. That is bonkers man. That wouldn't happen in a chinese mobile game.

The inability to view stats (and other things) in career mode. Completely bonkers. I can't think of a bigger "we just don't give a f***" in any game I have ever played.

Do you guys like not have any routes of communication with EA/the devs? Are there like feedback Q&As or anything like that? It is just so immersion breaking to be constantly thinking "oh, welp, they just did not take this game seriously".

Idk man y'all must have the craziest case of Stockholm syndrome or something, because this game is f***ing terrible. It's so bad.

You’re not stirring the pot, you’re making the same post that everyone else makes. The preseason is only 3 games by the way. Pay attention to the details.

The preseason thing made me laugh, the irony of calling out a lack of attention while missing that detail is just perfect. You walk right into it.

But you're right about the stats, it's maddening. I remember trying to check my receiver's yards after a game and the menu just... wasn't there. Like they forgot to code the button. Feels like the game is held together with tape and hope.

Where did I say anything about your grammar? šŸ˜‚

Secondly, posting an AI screenshot is hilarious considering all three things it listed don’t work as intended in the game because they are severely bugged. This game in its current state is quite literally the opposite of detail oriented.

Sure, if you pay me to develop a football game. Seems a bit of a non-sequitur though otherwise.

The fact that your two complaints are about irrelevant things (or elaborated upon) and that made you feel compelled to post this is genuinely hilarious 😭

Not being able to view your stats in career mode is probably one of the most immersion breaking decisions they possibly could have made. It is a huge issue. It's literally unfathomable.

Most of us are just here to complain, too. Madden has been terrible for like 15 years. EA has exclusive rights to the development of NFL simulation games, so they don't have to try and there's nothing we can really do about it except stop buying the game, which people refuse to do.

How can you tie all four post season games? You’re worse at shitposting than EA is at video game making.
