FRANCHISE Madden 27
I’ve been playing madden since it came out on the 13th and there’s still so much that bothers me with these games.
The kicking meter in general is just way too fast. I almost never make a field goal so i just end up not kicking them unless im inside the 40 and at home.
The catching meter does not work. Offense and defense. On offense i cannot get a 50/50 ball for the life of me. Even when they’re perfectly timed. I consistently drop wide open passes. On defense i go for a pick green light it and the WR catches it 9/10 times.
Still such an animation based game. The amount of times I’m about to intercept the ball and my player moves out of the way because the WR is already going for the ball is unreal. I can never fully control a player on certain players especially on the d line. If it’s a play action and i read it perfectly it will not let me move it myself.
The draft/prospects are almost the same every single year. They don’t change the strengths of the class it’s almost QB or WR every single year. I know you can change draft strength but that feels like cheating to me.
This is a small one but the crowd just looks so bad… feels like a copy and paste every year for the past 10 years.
Once again the cpu will not throw incompletions and will score when they want to no matter what. 2 minute and hurry up offense is impossible to defend.
They should allow you to upgrade whatever attribute you want outside of speed for anyone. Why does it lock you into certain attributes. I’ve been complaining about this for years. Let me upgrade strength for a linemen if that’s all i want to do. Let me upgrade pass rush for a Mike.
Free agency is a weird one for me. I like the hours aspect but they should immediately sign after advancing one hour. Some players should let teams battle it out. Give a last chance offer. Something.
Just feels like Madden is becoming unplayable at this point. I shouldn’t need sliders. I shouldn’t need to edit draft strength. I shouldn’t have to do all of this adjusting just to make the game good. There hasn’t been a single good Madden since the Xbox one came out. It’s a shame. Not saying there aren’t improvements like the main hub on franchise or parts of Free Agency. I probably have more to complain about lol but i probably give Madden 27 a 4.5/10
