Madden NFL 25 - Sneak peek. Are you playing next year?

With the low effort this year on ea's part,its really hard to find motivation to invest my own time next year. Possibly my first break since playing madden on nintendo 64.

Wow, impressive history you've had with Madden.  I'm barely over a full calendar year at this point; started (again) with Madden `22, but only because it was freebie from Playstation+ subscription, eventually my 10 year old son talked me into grabbing a Black Friday sale for Madden `23 and within a ~month i stumbled into Ultimate Team... before being fully engulfed.

Now i'm a full blown MUT-junkie, having to constantly go to war with myself (in my head) over all the glorious things I could be doing if i wasn't wasting so much time, money and resources into a game that has been anything but rewarding.  I have a few brief bursts of fun, mostly between Harvest and Zero Chill, but EA mucks so many things up it's tedious, at best.  If not a downright miserable experience the majority of the time.  Make or break year, my ass.  Good luck with your decision, my good sir.

I applaud everyone who is able to break this vicious cycle, hasn't come easy for me, personally.  We definitely deserve better.  I legit thought i was signing up for simulation fatball.

If they do release EA College football this summer as promised I’m done with MUT for the foreseeable future NCAA was always my favorite football game if EA releases it but messes it up big time I’ll get madden then and if EA doesn’t release I’ll be doing this all over again next year

I hear you man. This is pretty much where I am as well. Hopefully, they put a good amount of effort into the dynasty mode and don't just try to make it college ultimate team.

Graphics look AWFUL. May as well be a PS2 game.
