Ok have not had this game long and am now just getting into it.have played a few practice games . Also went through some training sessions . So far it appears it maybe a great game.But the hype of not seeing the same tackle and such is just that hype.I saw the same tackle way to many times. Same issues over and over and actually the same scenes as were in other Madden games as of late. But after all it is a good game so far.Time will tell more as I get into it.

OK have now played this game awhile. It has it's issues that is for sure. As some noted Defense is slack and when you catch a pass even inbounds it will say your not or even in the EndZone you catch it for a TD it says it is incomplete etc etc. Strange things happen within the game that is for sure. You may get picked off even when your man catches the ball or you may have a man completely covered and yet he still catches it or a runner down and yet gets up and runs for more yardage, yes some odd glitches .



If one plays offline as i do, you have to go to coaching mode to play as your team and play a season. If you play as a player you are limited to only your time on the field and as far as the Owner mode goes I have never played it because simply, i do not care about ticket sales or how much a drink costs...absolute nonsense if you ask me. BUT, I do like playing the game in-spite of some really bad glitches and foolish set-ups. And the whole you will never see the same tackle twice is also Nonsense. The offense has the advantage in this game, especially a Running back . You can run , over through and around everyone, and when i say run through that is what i mean, like a ghost in a haunted flick..right through a defender and sometimes knocking them out of the way like they were made of foam.



And it has many of the same scenes that were in other Maddens so new is not the term I would use nor the nonsense of not seeing the same tackle twice...it is right there in that statement however not in the way they intended because you will see it hundreds of times not just twice .



Overall it is a Madden game, it has it's poor moments and it has it's good moments. But one would think after all these years all the "bad" would have been fixed before release and better yet no bad in the first place . I do not buy Madden all the time. for just these same problems. I bought this one only because it was 25 year anniversary....but for such hype, it was a disappointment .



But it is what it is and as many posters noted it is not getting better with Madden, it just keeps going flat . I am sure future games will be on the new gen consoles , so i will not be buying anymore of Madden in that case. I will not buy a new Gen console at all...after all these years i am tired of buying consoles and having new libraries of games to only have them change again....I am done with that, to old to go any further in the console politics.



Same goes for Madden Politics.
