Madden NFL 20 is NOT GOOD - Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2019
- Madden NFL 20, while an improvement over Madden 19, is still a bad game. With very little attention to detail and franchise mode's constant neglect, it's hard to recommend this game to pretty much anyone. Feels like I'm playing the same game I've been playing for the past 5 years. Madden is consistently the worst sports game on the market, and Madden 20 continues to prove that.
Special thanks to my friend Mason for playing EA Dan.

I’ve been a game changer for a few years (franchise what I want to improve mainly) and I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to tell them the same things every year without much change :/
They need a new NCAA for the pandas
Out of curiosity, what do you suggest for franchise, and what are their responses (I understand if you can't answer the second).
@@zachz1893 Need to see the colonel light it up again. "Idk what's crispier, his route running or his chicken"
Then I have an idea. Quit being an EA gamechanger and do something productive with your life im sick and tired of the bitching people do about this game if 2K creates an nfl game y’all would complain about the game being ass or not good enough just stop Not The Expert
Sean Richards thank u you can't even play 2k so why the fuck is everyone bitching I didn't but Madden 19 and nba2k19 was terrible because their servers cant hold 100 peopl
Madden 21’s about to advertise how they have referees on he field.
No, there will be no refs In Madden 21😂
So there is no refs?
@@benjaminhudson2188 No, the refs were removed from on field gameplay. Refs will be re-inserted into Madden 22, as a revolutionary new feature.
@@andrewmoore7927 oh ok, thanks. Do you think this game is good? Would you recommend me to wait until it goes on sale?
@@benjaminhudson2188 Wait for a sale, won't be long before it goes on sale. I do not own the game, but by watching videos, it's not worth 60 bucks.
This is the results of no market competition!
Electrick Flame, The NFL gave them the rights to use their name and they have the right to give people permission to use their assets. So if they like crappy NFL games then the NFL is at fault (if they redo the contract).
Yea I was never big on Madden Im in my late mid 30s now I havent touched a football game since 2K since they stopped making them and College Football games arent made anymore
There’s competition. Axis Football 19
@@Cutmyline Axis football has a long way to go. I like Axis but dont go hyping it up as a madden killer just yet.
@@row7820 And Maximum Football along with Mutant Football. Both are better than Madden
"X-Factors" are basically "Player Weapons" from Madden 08 🤦♂️
Basically
X factors are basically APF Gold star players
@David Soward ikr especially for D ends
Yeah
Except overpowered
"XFL, please be successful and partner with 2k" lol
Welp now I guess we just have to hope somebody buys the XFL
Dryan3 I was literally thinking this yesterday😂😂
Vince owns the xfl I think and the wwe games are through 2k so more than likely that’s who would make the xfl game
If it gets successful I bet EA would buy the license just not to use it like they did back in 05 to keep 2k from touching anything else.
So 2k can kill it with vc LOL
Lol
New feature for Madden 21: Dynamic Referee movement and reactions
New features for madden 22: fixed bugs for the dynamic referee movement and reactions.
No two hand motions or flag throw will look the same
NEW FEATURE for Madden 24! Removed Refs
These comments are gold
If you liked real player motion, then you're gonna love real referee motion in Madden 25 Jr!
THE 40 THE 30 THE 20 THE 10 ...
Who else misses that ?
Brings back some good memories!
Nostalgia
they say it in 19, rarely
I miss Gus Johnson. I had a pick 6 with Troy Polamalu and as soon as I got passed Kurt Warner he made the famous “Getting away from the cops speed” line and I about choked to death laughing.
I miss actually having a halftime show that showed plays from other games and talking to a player when the game was over
Remember in older Madden's the radio would update with your franchise? I always sat and listened to that radio in between games xD
Kaptain Klutch Gaming lol we are old
@@eug504ene: yeah man we have become old...🤦🏾♂️
Chris Iverson It’s always Funny to me every time these kids hear us criticize the game and say can you do any better. They are doing the best they can. I’m like bro they’re not even doing close to that. We’ve seen the best they can do we live through it. We played long enough to understand that they took a big leap back
@@eug504ene: Ea sports doesn't care either, man I remember the feeling I would get playing Madden, if it's in the game it's in the game, remember the ambulance that used to come out and get the player after a catstrophic injury, remember how high the cowboys and emmit Smith would be rated, conversations like this let me know time is passing me by bro 🤦🏾♂️
I remember the World Cup game having that
Franchise mode used to be the 💩. You could literally do anything. Build a stadium relocate team control ticket and concession prices. Change uniforms hire coaching staff training camps. Etc.
UKWizdakey2lyfe you can do everything you just listed but training camp
Jace Teixeira not like in madden 05 or 06 🚮
Remember the radio show and newspaper
EtelorveHc49 yes the position battles the players that complained if they felt they weren’t getting treated fairly or the players that complained if you didn’t treat a star right or resign players they like... players would retire then come back as coaches or retired then came out of retirement... you could pick team captains
UKWizdakey2lyfe that’s not eas fault they can’t do that anymore the nfl banned it
I just want them to lose the license period point blank
Bradley Williams Post of all posts, nuff’ said!!
why? you think a game will come out that magically has years of ground work layed out already? you wouldnt see a new football game for years.
Bidwellz9 that’s fine. I’d rather have no game for years then getting the same piece of shit game every year from ea madden.
@@Bidwellz9 no you would see many new nfl games come out...nfl prints money so you would see three to four new nfl games as long as no one company gets exclusive rights to the nfl...remember madden...nfl 2k...nfl street...it would be amazing to see what game could be made if EA lost the rights...its never gonna happen though
@@sirgumby7140 no you wouldnt. You think people just have a football game sitting in a box ? Waiting for ea to lose the license? You wouldn't get a game worth a damn for at least 3 years. And street is an ea game. It's ea big
How long until EA accomplishes the greatest technical achievement yet...
CHEERLEADERS?
@Vic Crown Dynamic boob physics technology
the lower income indian women who make this game think its degrading to have cheerleaders. thank you, come again.
They wont and should cheerleaders are bieng phased out in real life nfl so why would they waste resources on it...
@@CtheDead209-zt8tj They should dump the dance teams and bring competitive pro cheerleading to the NFL. Give them a finals competition instead of the lame ass Probowl. And pay them too.
probably Madden 50
Ea only cares about MUT. That's their bread winner.
Bingo!!!!
@@HacksawJimThuggin shit pisses me off too. I havent thought madden since madden 16.
2K is following right behind them now too
Glo Gang Promoter are they? Heard any news about 2k20 career mode?
Mut sucks this year this game is dog shit. The stuff that happens in the game is ridiculous. My punt returner let’s the ball bounce off his head the the other team picks the ball up in the endzone and scores. The only reason I buy the game is for mut
“We don’t have enough space to add the pro bowl.....check out this new feature called the pro bowl” what a joke of a company
Facts
Danny Jones yeah
They dont touch franchise mode because they want everyone to play Ultimate team
marc pina facts
No shit 😅😅...that's why nobody should play it at all... don't even click on the promos when the game start up
Daniel Hill and an in depth myleague, blacktop, play now/today, 2k is way better
$$$
I'm quite happy playing franchise from madden 18 still, as far as i can tell i can just play indefinitely in franchise
“and they get first down..but wait there’s a flag on the play”
refs: holding offense
Every play you'll get that penalty. #rigged!
That like never happens.
:0
every time i get a holding called on me, its always when im already like 40 yards down the field with maybe 1 person by me and it straight up just makes me not want to finish the game
Bro that shit happens every fuckin game
Offensive lineman should have X Factor to counter the Defensive linemen’s X Factor.
What dumbass decided not to do that?!?!?!
They just added them...
Ea: how about we remove line men and bring them back the year after
It's only superstars
They have been in since september.....
In a couple of years they will bring back the refs and act like it is a BRAND NEW FEATURE!
Yep er.😦
Hahaha yuuup
Holy shit. I didn’t know they were missing
Word, I’ve been noticing that in all the videos WHERE ARE THE REFS!!!!!! So much for “If It’s In The Game”
It’s sad how realistic that is. I can hear the devs talking about how it’s a “step towards realism” and things like that already.
Madden 2024 will have a referee on the cover. "2024! The return of the referee!"
NO ONE ABIDED WITH THE BOYCOTT SMH. EXPECT 21 TO BE THE SAME AS 20.
This aged so well
Repeat after me, I will never buy another Madden game as long as I live...
This is the first year I am not buying it. I spent $8,000 last year on packs for madden 19. This year that money goes towards buying a new car.
@@Squre I refuse to buy last year's Madden,but I actually broke down and got it they had it on sale a week after New Year's for $25 w/NBA game.
Whenever they improve franchise mode a whole bunch then I will come back.
What you said
@@Squre well the fact you spent $8k means you are a dumbass.
ESPN 2K5 still better 15 years later.
Do you kno the instrumental. @ 9:11
SHiBBY927 best football game ever
powerfullforce dont get it wrong 2k is almost just like madden now. None if these corporations gaf abiut their customers.
With T.O on the cover? Hands down better
@@BabyBalla3score That's the one. The one that was $19.99 brand new. I worked at Toys R Us when it came out, I remember seeing the price and thinking we mispriced it on the shelf!
I hate hearing people say “it’s not that bad”. Would you cut any other company the slack everyone cuts EA despite not having a single competitor? No. This community needs to wake up, realize that we should have a great football game in the era of gaming we are in, not this reskined, animation based BS we keep getting.
I've got 3 words for the reason Madden is so bad: Madden Ultimate Team. Hope you online players are satisfied with the garbage of pay to win/have fun.
John beason you have to put hundreds and hundreds of hours into MUT to get a stacked team If you only buy the standard $60 game. You’re right you are def not lazy, you just probably don’t have any responsibilities and don’t have a life
John beason If all you do is grind on madden, YOU’RE ACTUALLY VERY LAZY! 🤣😂
2K following suit with EA
It's not that hard to get a stacked team in MUT whoever says so is delusional.. Only thing paying to win does is get you there faster I for one refuse to buy coins or but points or whatever but I can get a 99 team easy... If I played online it'd just be easier but I don't play enough to know all the cheese and countering the cheese so I don't bother
@@KingChris0306 Listen to this guy. Delusional. MUT is cancer. Do not defend that garbage.
Still mad they took out pumping up the crowd last year... Sure it will be a new feature next year...
you can do that in this years, i did it today as a matter of fact, also told them to settle down
@@Bidwellz9 on defense?
And the play calling (by player) I miss that too... And the hit stick was awesome.
@@bsteelz79 lol why would you pump up the crowd on offense?
@@williamwilburn5470 because I was used to doing it for 5+ season with my MLBer
I’d rather staple my ass to a mountain lion than spend $60 on Madden.
You get a like from me cause of your profile name and pic 👍
Weird flex but ok
But you guys are lucky it's $60, in Canada it's $80
CUM COMPILATION V46 TRY NOT TO CUM EDITION Canadian dollars $80=USD $60
Lmaoooooo this is such an effective visual
Remember these are the people who wanted to be sure that there's no way anyone else can do an NFL game
Well it was more the NFL was pissed at 2k for making 2k5 20 bucks. Both nfl and EA are to blame
@@Revealingstorm. I. Wasn't a fan of that game totally either but it had evident potential.
@@Revealingstorm. 2k20 wow imagine
@@no1sfad1 yeah. It pains me to think of what a modern competent football game would be like.
@@Revealingstorm. already
bring throwback teams! I want to play with the 1999 rams, 2007 patriots, 1998 Vikings, 2004 eagles, 1989 49rs, 1995 cowboys, 1998 Broncos, 1996 packers, 1972 dolphins,2002 buccaneers,1985 bears,2006 colts,1997 lions "barrysanders"
That would be nice
It’s fucking stupid that they haven’t added all time or classic teams yet.
They won't do it because that is one of the draws of MUT. Earning/buying and playing with classic hall of famers and legends
1919 Baltimore colts
@@jameslittle7750 true I agree
Madden 20 is Madden 09 “Weapons” repackaged. EA formula: add features, take away features, add same features presented as “New Features”.
The weapons from Madden 08 didn’t really do anything is was more just to see who was good at was during the pre snap screen
coke classic
Madden 08 Weapons
@@drwang4884 It's the same concept, though. These developers don't think outside the box.
True😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EA: OMG! Pro Bowl, you guys! So innovative!!!
Me: *Plugs NFL Quarterback Club '98 into N64. Plays Pro Bowl*
Should have used that as an example lol
@@SOFTDRINKTV Tecmo Super Bowl also had the Pro Bowl. On the NES.
Wasn't that the one with the actual qb challenge?
The x-factors are especially OP for defensive players. Defensive x-factors create fumbles on 90% of their tackles. Oh and you can rarely throw in their direction as the WRs drop the ball.....the player won't swat the ball your player will just drop them.
Madden... I’m sorry ... this relationship has been toxic for a long time now.... I ... I gotta go... yes I’m going to stop by 2k’s house on the way home
You'll prolly wanna buy 19 on sale, 20 seems bad, but wait for a review nonetheless
speaking of 2K’s house, remember having a “crib” on 2K5? good times.
2K is doing the same thing. When was the last truly good 2K NBA game? It was before their version of ultimate team
@@theraVen27 2k16 imo was the last truly good 2k, and that had myteam
kawhi Leonard 16 was fun to play but the career was empty. It’s all just a reskin and rely on the idiots paying thousands on packs
The fact that Madden 08 is a better game than this makes me upset. And Ultimate team in all forms suck
Bret Rogers every madden on Ps1&2 I better than this
Right that’s what I’m saying, the fact that in the 2000s we could have football games better than the ones we have in the late 2010s and 2020s is terrible
Bret Rogers it was a good madden don’t get me wrong you had a football combine McNair was on the cover I believe but madden 20 has a lot more advantages
Back in my day, you could do pretty much anything you wanted with any roster or player. There were no "transactions" or any money you could give them, even if you wanted...
TheFlyingKaramazovBrothers that’s not true 😒
Im not gonna lie, your vids made me appreciate nba2k and 2k much more than i use too😭🙏🏾
I swear bruh
Yea people be bashing 2k like crazy but don’t know the struggle we go through with madden lol
Madden and 2k are ass and it’s been like this for a while. 2k18 and 19 are by far the worst 2ks I’ve ever played
if you appreciate 2k bcs of madden, you know how bad madden really is 😂
J Facts 2k is ass lol
ESPN Nfl 2k5 on original Xbox is still the best football game ever
Dirk Diggler NCAA 14 is pretty close tho
I loved 2k5. Literally my favorite game of all time
john johnny every NCAA game. NCAA 14 and 11 are great games.
Had that on ps2. Shit was awsome
Dirk Diggler I literally went out and bought an OG Xbox and 2k5 about a month ago.
Having XFL partner with 2k would be glorious since they all ready develop the WWE series.
But in Visual Concepts,it would be shit in character graphics,physics,and not quality which is bugs like that fucking WWE 2K20.
Madden player models annoy me so much. My biggest complaint are the *MASSIVE* horse legs that every player has in madden. Look at the players knee caps... No one's built like that!!!
What drives me crazy is the ball release on quarterbacks. They can't seem to get the flick of the wrist down that NFL 2K5 had 14 fu@king years ago..🤬
NikoRavage I hated that too but it was a madden 19 glitch hopefully it’s parched
Saquon...thats about it
Carrying the ball looks weird with most of the players it doesn’t look natural
They run like captain America now.😖
brilliantly put together. 2 months from now people will say how trash the game is. like you said it's just a vicious cycle. people need the NFL that much??? it's like the NFL is the drug dealer & Madden is the crack. no matter the quality just keep going back.
That’s exactly wat it is bc no matter how trash the game os nothing like playing virtual reality football especially wen theres no other sellers🤷🏾♂️
@@cmurder8795 but they don't gotta play anything at all
Tru dat homie
Y’all must not play 2k
@@xylynthian753 I love football, I've purchased every madden, the MAIN issues is the consumers if yall would take time to learn how to create a video game yall appreciate the products and yes madden can improve also but yall expecting complete overhaul in a 1 year window. The idiots who says EA should skip madden for a year to focus on revamping the entire game is the dumbest business mind in the world, no company would miss out on millions, plus madden feeds actually ea employees, creators with ads and also youtubers we love to watch, no madden no content. We gotta stop just being consumers its 3 sides to every business ownership, employees and consumers. I know most of yall can't create a spreadsheet on excel but yet yall have all the answers on creating a video game. You ever notice NONONE has made a video on how to actually fix madden issues and add features back its the same repetitive videos "we had this feature, mode in madden 2001,just bring it back." video games is deeper than we think.
Refs are gonna be the madden 21 selling point
Honestly the last time I really had fun playing madden was Madden 08. It's been down hill since then imo.
Sameeeee. Dope name to
Can you do the three pumps for me😂
But imagine all the hype EA will create when they bring back the refs?
Sergio Otero yep it'll be one of those Gridiron Notes
That’s why they were removed gotta sell you something next year
They'll just say that it's a "New Feature" like it was never there before.
They took refs off the field... This game is far from authentic.. how do u take refs off the field?? Fuckin stupid game
They will place a major emphasis of how graphically enhanced they look this time with realistic bad officiating just like the NFL.
Pro Bowl!? Really?? It's not even worth watching on T.V.
The community deserves as much blame as EA. Go watch Ryan moody and Matt allen and you’ll see how their nitpicking has helped destroy Madden. Madden 20 to me is the best since 15 and it’s not even close.
its fun tho
B S how do you know? You haven’t played it lmao you sucker. Talking about how madden 20 is good when you haven’t played it. People criticizing the game makes it better. It calls out EA to improve the game.
explain how nitpicking makes a game worse. Are you stupid?
@@jgeorge2693 i said its good i have played it from the 10 hour trial
Jonathan George first, I did play the game. And it’s just facts, it’s a better game. Secondly, they said they’re gonna be conservative about making changes. Here’s my explanation on why the community is the issue. And before you lose it again, EA does still deserve blame. However, you have these people crying for realism. Then we get realistic pass rush and these same noobs are crying that they can’t do anything against it because it comes in too quick. Well what do you want? Half of these guys cry for stuff and then complain when they get it. They said they’re not changing pass rush and they’re gonna be conservative about making changes this year. They made their own brand of game this year. They took out all the things that help noobs win like ball hawk for one example. So again, EA is to blame but the community deserves a great deal of it too. No one ever wants to admit they’re the issue.
"Everyone is sick of the game after December"? I was done with Madden 19 by the end of September, and done with Madden 20 by the first week of October.
Why’d u buy it then
I had better time playing Madden on my Sega Genesis then I do on this generation football
HELL YES!!!!!!!! LMAO
The little ambulance driving onto the field. Oh memories
We should make a online petition to open licensing for 2k and other football developers
The NFL doesn't care what people think all they care about is EA paying them money so they can be the only company who can make NFL games
Jason Moore yeah true but you forget that we are the customer if we stop purchasing the game especially ultimate bundles you can and will see a change look at 2k17 2k18 people stop playing and 2k19 was a major difference that’s the only way they notice us because stock holders will be mad stocks go down all about the mighty dollar which is us we hold the power a lot of people don’t realize this
True I also wouldn't mind a none NFL Football game like Blitz The League. Mostly because even if others make NFL games they still have to go through the NFL before they can do anything. So if someone made a Football game that wasn't NFL they can have more freedom to do what they want.
Jason Moore ahh ps2 days nfl game day so much diversity
Yeah PS2 was the last time I truly hade fun with a NFL game
I was contemplating buying this year's game. I haven't played Madden in two years.
Glad I read your review, I won't spend a dime on this garbage. Thank you.
Alex Spadel same here. I can’t believe they gave this crap an 8! Only way we can help them create change or for the NFL remove exclusivity is to just not buy the game.
@@jasoncooke1936 yeah dude it's a shame because there's always gonna be that segment of the fanbase that buys no matter what.
EA won't change unless we all stop buying
so instead of trying it yourself, you just say oh someone doesnt like it...so i dont like it
Bidwellz9 wtf madden hasn’t been good for over a decade
I still havent played since 25.
I just have madden 17 with the 2020 roster 🤷🏼♂️
The last madden i played was 12 the last one I was excited about and lined up for was 2007
I'm so sick of madden I've literally gotten madden 06 on my Nintendo game cube and updated the rosters by myself, number, stats, name, position, all by myself, just so I can have fun playing franchise.
Too bad 5M+ people are too lazy to edit the rosters in their old Madden/NFL 2k games...smfh
Seth Boyardee. That must’ve taken a long time 😂
@@faioladrums it only takes like 30 minutes to an hour, I've been really lazy an have only finished like 11 teams, I realized that if I want to do franchise I'll also have to update the free agency, so that is going to be fun
@@sethboyardee2647 Pretty sure you can download the rosters and upload them to the game that way, I've seen it done.
@@Birdy890 no, this was on gamecube when online was horrible, and the game is 13 years old, only games like 09 and up you can do that
you’ve honestly convinced me not to buy this game, thank you for saving my money, you earned a sub
Have been saying this for years. Madden's development team is advised to add incremental improvements to the game. Hence, that's why this game hasn't gotten better. Moreover, they take away features and then add it back after 3-5 years advertising it as a new feature. Ruthless business practices. But as long as people continue to buy, they will continue to deliver crap. I haven't given EA a dime since Madden 06. Still not convinced.
I havent bought a Madden since they pulled their BS when NFL 2k wasnt allowed to be made.
And I never got paid for the class action
Same here! I’ll probably just go download an updated roster on 19 for free if I get a football hankering.
I was so close to getting it; even went to the XBox store. Decided to wait and when I watched this, that was the moment I made up my mind. EA almost got me too. Because all year I've been telling my buddies that I wasn't buying it until some things were changed. How is it that NCAA 14 is still a better product than Madden? How is it that create a play was in the PS2 version of the game and not since? Anyone remember how dope it was to create your own plays? The X-Factor stuff seams nice. It actually makes the stars feel like stars. But, I could have sworn that they had something similar to that in a previous version. I'm thinking PS2 again. Because I seem to remember some players having a clutch gene or something. And other traits similar to what NBA 2K has had for years. Anyway, again, thx for the video. You saved me some money.
@@thegame74 they did have all this. czcams.com/video/7IhHV7OesCc/video.html if you notice at certain times in this video players have emblems next to their head shots which mean a variety of things such as Franchise QB, Cannon Arm, Draft Bust, Run Stopper, etc...these things would influence how they play in the game
Anyone else notice how the training field has remained the same for like, the past decade?
Dude Ryan Moody posted a video that shows EA didn’t even update the training field banner from 19.
LOL, Madden 20 is so bad - exact same issue as the last five games. It always feels like you're fighting with the players that you're controlling - there's no fluidity to the movement. And I understand that they're trying to simulate inertia, but in real life you can pretty easily control your momentum, whereas in this game it's like all of your players have cerebral palsy.
Thank you. It's hard for me to explain, but yeah, exactly.
😂
All facts
The Frostbite Engine is to blame. While it's good for 1st person shooters. Although in any other type of game they've had dissatorious outcomes. Anthem for instance and Maddens is a close second. The graphics are better than Ignite but the control is even worse. Atleast with Ignite you felt like you were in control after initial contact or breaking tackles. With Frostbite it seems too often that your not controlling the player once the canned animations kick in. To me it's just like your goin through the motions repeatedly without any real impact being felt when you do any user controlled command which seems to happen few and far between. Sadly on the gameplay side of things I don't think anything will change untill they ditch Frostbite.
You just saved me 60 dollars. Thank you
the game is the best game for madden in for awhile if you want to play a fun gameplay madden 20
Tanner Kowalkowski you should try the 10 hour trial then decide if you would like to buy it or not

At this point FIFA is a joke.
@@laOrzy NHL 20 added a new shooting system, coaching carousel, trade finder, goalie reactions, broadcast package, commentary, improved breakout puck pickups. NHL 19 had fog of war, world of Chel and new scouting systems. NHL, while it hasn't been good, has still been more innovative than Madden with 1/6 the budget.
Fifa has much more content than Madden does. As someone who plays both, every year I find Fifa to be far more fulfilling and long-lasting than Madden
yeah but fifa makes waayyyyy more money than Madden so they ain't gonna change shit lmao
I’m still playing Tecmo Super Bowl 1993, Madden 2000 & NFL 2K5 to this day.
This video is on point. But I bought madden20 anyway. WHY? because I love football and have no other options. Madden would easily be destroyed if any other company had rights to make a nfl game...
EA ruined fifa and Madden cause they only care about ultimate team.
Dthesun I don’t understand why people buy this every year. Franchise is so bad
They ruined NHL with Ultimate as well

I honestly just want a remastered Madden 05
Dylan Baker wasn’t 05 the first year with the hit stick? The last year Madden was decent...
It definitely was the best one I’ve played
@@coachjefe6912 nahh madden 08 is the best madden. 09-12 were the last good maddens.
Ray Lewis on the front with hit stick! Fumble maker!
IGN’s favorite line they recycle every year “the best football game gets even better”
Madden 30 - Game has been transformed: “New font on home screen” EA: Give us $60 bucks
Madden lost another customer lol I'm sorry but although my bias stems from a nfl 2k5 sized hole in my head, I can't stand playing broke ass games anymore.
madden 08 player weapons is literrally the og version of superstar x-factors
Your Average Guy not really player weapons just showed what type of player the person is it really had no in game use more of a cosmetic effect
@@user-wz3yh2kd7n just shut the fuck up
@@user-wz3yh2kd7n idk what Madden 08 u was playing then 😂
Andrew S. damn you raging for no reason like are you ok man
TFP 23 alright i could be wrong but i thought it was just a description of what type of player the person was
BRING BACK 2K and NCAA
2k trash as fuck anyways.
@M J I'm totally butthurt after owning an entire Opal team and bench. For sure. Games just cancer as fuck. Theres a reason why 2k16-2k19 have had 1½ to 3 stars.
David 2k is the best sports game on the market right now.
@@xDavid831 I agree with 2K still hsd the NFL license. It would be worse than Madden as far as microtransactions go
David 2K16 one of the best 2Ks of all time smh 17 one of my favorites too because it was so cheesy
All this and you didn't even mention another major awful aspect of Madden: player ratings vs what they actually make players do on the field. I stopped playing a few years ago, when EA finally released some information about this...and outright lied about what the ratings do (proven through controlled trials). OVR is a lie, str 0 vs 99 did nothing in run blocking, numerous other stats had hidden animation break points or did nothing despite supposedly contributing to OVR and/or doing something according to EA.
Not only does this wreck developing players in franchise mode because it's unclear which ratings improvements actually help you, it also affects MUT. People buy and use cards based on their ratings. Which were and probably still are falsely stated to do things they don't. So in addition to the moral not-so-grey area of effectively letting kids gamble on rewards as significant "whales" for the game, there is a legitimate case EA committed/commits fraud and I sincerely hope they get smacked with class action on that at some point. But still not as much as I hope they lose exclusivity rights with NFL.
This was actually fixed this year. One of the few things they did right.
@@genesisishere5 If they did that's great news. Even if they claim they fixed it, I'll only believe controlled trials showing it because they've systematically lied.
The officials on the field used to actually be able to effect the player, it could give your receiver a big break or cause an incompletion or allow a wide open receiver get tackled because the officials got in the way. Don't know if I miss that or not
imagine if EA put the same effort in current Madden that they did for the PS2/Xbox games.
They think adding a pro bowl is going to do something...... Don't buy Madden until it at least goes on sale
Adding a game that doesnt matter is a huge selling point lol.
If you really want to buy it. Get it used from some other chump that feel for the hype so the money doesn't go towards sales
If it’s 4.99 that’s when I’d think about buying it, just like how I got 2k19 for 4.99 two months ago.
@@natecruz7114 lol
jujuinator I made the mistake of buying 19 on sale..$40 guess what I would of been better off flushing it down the toilet. Saves time :).
Thank you. I almost bamboozled myself again this year. 👍🏾
Why is there 900 dislikes? All that was said in this video was facts mostly, Pretty much “Oh yea Madden used to have this feature and now they don’t” people don’t like facts? 900 people started playing madden in Madden 17
I was just blown away that QB1 was just 2 college games a tutorial passing and then it just turns into a single player franchise mode
This review will definitely hurt some feelings 😂 well done my friend...
Games been out for decades and they just introduced pro bowl😂
REintroduced lol
And that's why Angry Joe is rant about same presentation
They gonna bring back madden moments in madden 2023
And be like “brand new game mode”
Replay classic moments
Ultimate team solo challenges are exactly like madden moments 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They have them but they're only in ultimate team unfortunately
Bring back NCAA Football.
College football is more enjoyable anyway.
Seriously.
College football is better but is harder for the average fan to follow
@@tori9365if you're over 21 and not in college.. NCAA football is basically for betting purposes or hobby
@@warriorq7672 if you're over 18 and single, kissing is fun
@@tori9365 but a date and free dinner is always better 👌🙃
Bought the game yesterday . Played ranked 4-0 but I’m selling this shit immediately. I regret buying this game smh
F N what’d you expect, not only is it the same as last year but it’s an ea game.
It’s crazy how madden can’t come close to 2000s football game. all it has on them is graphics
Ken Zone that’s it
It’s like madden is a trash can and EA just sprays the trash can with a perfume
LethalDog 53 honestly though
How this game is an 8 is absolutely insane. It’s the same game the last 10 years and it’s getting worse.
@John beason yeah right 😂
Ur right john beason
I’m a season and a half into the Face of the Franchise mode and Isaiah Streets and the little girl have vanished. Coach no longer sends texts and the only people who contact my character are upcoming opponents and fellow players who seem impossible to satisfy. Lol
I guess EA figured nobody would stay engaged long enough to get through more than on season. They weren’t off buy much.
i will never buy games from EA.
Only you don't buy and you know are those games in the Dark Age of Microtransaction.
NFLtony 2K5tano here, the busiest sports video game nerd, and this new Madden game? Is not good.
*explosions*
Omg this is wonderful
Wouldn't that college end zone dance be a penalty? So lazy EA.
No way out of all things that's what you go to...
who cares
Like who are you? He’s not wrong is he? Stupid reply. 🙄
@@nappyheadj5523 I've been criticizing the game all over the internet since EA bought the license. Sorry I didn't write a novel for you here. It just shows how EA phones it in and doesn't even care by using NFL celebrations for college.
@@ralphkramden2826 the fact is that you complained about EA not taking NFL celebrations out of 2 meaningless college games in the first place, I don't care about what else you complained because I've complained about them too, whatever man nvm, I don't understand why anyone would complain about something so small and and useless
Who’s here in 2020 one year later?
lol someone told me that they should get rid of franchise mode. They told me that ultimate team was the best mode. He knows nothing about madden. He's uneducated😂
Looks like I’ll be saving my $60 this year. Thanks for the detail review.
Same
That's right EA SPORTS GIVE UP THE RIGHTS SO OTHER DEVELOPERS CAN DO THE JOB LIKE YALL SHOULD HAVE DONE LONG TIME AGO!!
The rights aren't EA's to give, it's the NFL you should be directing your anger towards. After 2K5 was released as a budget title which drove down the price of Madden they decided not to allow more than one developer to have the rights because they felt the competition was "cheapening" the brand. If EA didn't have exclusive rights, someone else would instead.
@@SeekerLancer dem too!!
@@SeekerLancer no it would have been more choices than one.
if people stop buying it, EA won't be able to continue to hog the licence. Sadly, consumers are the problem. Yes the reviews are skewed, but people get reburned year after year and never learn.
When I play franchise I want an experience. I remember the radio show and how I'd get a kick out of retirement notices and a Hall of Fame class announcement. Touches like that made the game feel much more organic and immersive. And being able to look at where your guy (and others) were in terms of league records, seeing how some guys faded or changed teams and how that impacted their contributions, making the whole thing feel as if you were a part of the history of the game playing through a few years and trying to carve a niche, that was everything.
I was one of those who'd show up at a gaming store at midnight and call off the next day so I could play. Now...I've probably bought one copy of the game in the last five or six years and I think the poorness of the series, the lack of substantive progress on those points, things that once interjected a palpable excitement into the process for a guy without a team in his state has actually impacted my following of the NFL as well.
This needs more views so madden will actually do something
Views on a yt vid won’t matter. EA will care if people stop buying madden
Probably just convinced me to not buy this year
Do you kno the instrumental at 9:11
lol
Your mini rant about MUT honestly made my day, it's sad that Madden cares more about scamming kids/sad adults then fixing Franchise mode to what it once was over a decade ago.
Sad adults? Yea cause playing a game mode you dont like makes someone a "sad adult"
You're pretty sad about madden tho?
@@TH1CC0LAS Maybe I didn't word that correctly, I'll give you that. Like @SOFTDRINKSPORTS I'm not a big fan of trying to scam other people or make them gamble in something so simple like video games. But hey, more power to you sir.
Nicholas Roberts no, buying the micro transactions makes you a sad adult. anybody can grind these modes and not pay a cent. but if you pay and don’t even get paid to play mut, there’s a problem
TheChrisPhoenix you’re so cool for saying people who spend their money how they want are doing it wrong.
bostonc335 or some people just want a head start and not want to grind solo modes?
Madden doesn’t have to improve because it knows that people will still buy the game regardless of the quality. If people stop buying the game, EA could consider improving the game.
Played Madden from 89 to 04...religiously
Switched to NCAA because it was flat out the best football gameplay until NCAA14
I have tried Madden games at 10 dollar
Price tag...just to get a quick football fix but disappointed at every attempt
NCAA14 still the best football game ever
OMD OldManDuece Until NCAA 14? That one was the best imo
@@theraVen27 that's what I meant...wrong wording...ncaa14 was the last great football game
Not really surprised. The series hasn’t been good for the past 15 years
10? 11? 05? 07?
Savage Patch for me no. You yes
Um have u seen 2k the past 2 years?
@@ajvollmer8713 what about 2k? They don't make football games so what are you talking about?
Madden has some good years. I liked 08 12 but yeah the last five years all trash
Imagine how good madden COULD be if microtransactions were illegal. 🤔 One can dream, I suppose.
If they couldn't sell microtransactions to minors they would lose massive amounts of profit. They will try to avoid that at all cost 😂
Great honest review man. Our league is based off of madden and tbh We do actually enjoy the game, but we can’t deny that the game can be so much better if they added creative depth 💯
You know they could just call the game (madden) and just update it every year for seasons and graphical up grade, but the two number at the end of madden is what yall paying 65$ for every year
Save yourself $30 and get Doug Flutie's Maximum Football
