Was madden 24 a big improvement from previous years?

The best thing about this game was something they should have done two years ago which was cross play.

However, it was also one of the more annoying because as an Xbox user I learned PS users are toxic af. Always on the mic running their mouth all game or on the phone the whole time having conversations on speaker phone for some unknown reason. Also, to all users that leave their mic on… change your smoke alarm batteries please 🙏

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, my wife was just complaining about this earlier in the week. It wasn't even just a single opponent, multiple games i was constantly being assaulted with that annoying AF beep. Beep. Beep. Impressive ability that some folks can just tune that out. I'd rip the battery out or take it off the wall and risk burning alive before i'd suffer through an endless stream of that madness. Yikes.

Different strokes for different folks, i guess we've all got to develop some fairly thick skin to suffer through year after year of this Madden nonsense. Gameplay had serious potential this year, being able to finally use linebackers for once was a nice improvement, but there's just still SOOO many glaring issues, simple quality of life or performance improvements to the game that are necessary, but EA lacks the technical comprehension to fix or implement proper changes. How many times did they try to improve pass catching this year or fatigue/stamina, only to ultimately revert these multiple failed attempts. Some interesting ideas, but zero ability to execute.

Instead of making any actual improvements, can you imagine how many Dev hours were wasted on adding the new Catalogue feature? Does anyone actually use that, or enjoy/prefer it over the old method, that would directly drop us into the auction house? Sad state of affairs if you ask me.

I wasn't sure if I was being trolled initially, but i'm going to assume your question is made in good faith -- i believe EA's own terminology was to coin this a "make or break" year, which of course, i'm such a sucker and really thought that meant something. Unfortunately, what it actually meant, was that they'd be doing everything in their power to make as much profit as possible, hoping to demonstrate this is worth the expense of the exclusive NFL license. To be determined how well their bottom line has performed, but at this point our only hope for some type of quality improvement would be for EA Tiburon / Orlando to be so full of themselves that they take the Madden franchise the way of FIFA, perhaps giving us Generic `Murican Fatball Club 26 or something of the sorts.

Not that 2K would be much better to have an a corporate overlord, but goodness gracious, something has got to give. Well, me retiring from MUT (again) is sadly, the only correct solution here. I'll be back if/when something truly changes, but I can't keep getting suckered into this. I really though i was signing up for simulation football, oof.

Again, you have to consider the fact that in the small window of time , they have to make movements for 20 plus characters on the field at one time and that could be quite a chore and then you have to factor in that the people that play this game online they’re not running the game as it should be played outside they are looking for exploits, and then everyone follows this kind of way then you have to find a defense to stop the exploit in the game and it becomes just people exploiting it that’s what EA is fighting up against every year
