KOs are Overpowered

I'd like a game where the players played to the numbers on their cards. A Receiver with high CIT and CTH would catch the ball quite often but a defender with higher POW and/or Big Hitter trait would get a KO in the right circumstances. To watch my wideouts make a possession catch and then just drop the ball 2 seconds later because some mug has AP'd his DB's to the max is beyond irritating.

Exactly! Why do we even have half the stats when people just throw abilities on them and it voids those. Stupid. If my reciever has 99 cth why is he dropping 5 balls a game.

EA has completely lost me from any future purchases of Madden until they remove abilities and xfsctors nonsense. This reminds me of COD Advanced Warfare. It didn't work, do as they did and reverse course. I'll be playing NCAA for dynasty mode thank God.

I mostly play CFM and we removed X-factors etc from the league completely. Alongside a few other rules to force players to play a straight up game, it makes for a much more enjoyable experience. MUT, particularly as we near end of year, is pretty unplayable sometimes.

Sounds good man. I wish MUT had a mode where there's no abilities or xfactors. When's the last madden without the extra BS? M22?

Might I introduce you to the premiere of Madden gameplay in (the original) Madden 25?
