Has EA ever addressed if madden 24 was a success

Good day everyone 

i’m just curious if this information is out there being that they were promoting last year how this game was fixed and it was their best game to date and after playing for several months I don’t know about many others, but this game to me was really no improvement from the previous Maddens 

first off it needed several issues to be fixed, the RPO‘s were ridiculous. They said you couldn’t spam a play yet people just sat in the same defense all game, so again, is there was information or statement of some sort out there discussing how this year went according to EA ?

They considered it a major success homie. Theres a huge write up about it in the nfl app, like 2 weeks ago.  I tried to post a comment with a quote from that article when I read it but this website sometimes does this thing where it flashes and then it resets the page on my phone.  I don’t know if it does that for anybody else but it cleared off a bunch of text I wrote for the comment and I was frustrated so I didn’t post it.  That reset page thing happens the most when you’re trying to adjust your team on here, that shits frustrating.

I’ll try to find the article for you. They considered this year‘s edition of madden a major building block to where they want to be and where they want to be is now what madden 25 is.  It seemed like low-key sneaky advertising, because when youre  reading it, youre  like oh shit I gotta get madden 25 if it’s the freaking best one! But what do I know

well that was easy

Interesting article.  I guess that answers the OP's question.

That’s a cool ass avatar icon whatever. The red swirl thing,  It’s baddass

This entire article feels like one of those year-end meetings at work where they tell you that we sucked this year and you get no raise or bonus, but "the future is bright, just stick with us".

I especially liked the way that they set the stage for only incremental improvements this year by them saying, "25 will be good, but 26 will be better, and 27 will be better than that".  Selling 27's game now is all part of the FOMO marketing campaign that EA is a master of.  

Bottom line is for me, it is a video game.  I love NFL football, and it is the only licensed NFL game, so I will more than likely continue to purchase it, at least for Franchise Mode.  I don't know that I will continue to engage with MUT if there aren't significant changes to that mode next year, however.

Goof Day 

I have to agree with this reply, after reading the link I was baffled by how people were statistically more engaged with the game than last year , is it because the earlier part of the game ( seasons 1,2,and 3)  promos were so lackluster, maybe the later seasons were better ? I don’t know, but they still didn’t provide any proof of those statistics which I would’ve liked to have seen. I feel that they still go through several patches throughout the early part of the game that again  required hundreds and hundreds of issues to be fixed , you also had people once again exploiting their game and running specific plays over and over again , then they touted how improved the catching game is, wow , I can’t even get on this game anymore because everything is mostly a knockout so again I don’t  understand what they are saying.  I would like to see those numbers they are talking about though

Sounds like the only matrix for success is 'engagement'.

Thing is, there's loads of reasons for engagement (particularly as the season progresses)  that don't necessarily point to a successful product. Has it occurred to EA that there is precisely 1 NFL video game and that many people buy the game later because it is prohibitively expensive at release?
