Old generation abandoned

Moderator Legend said:

So you're conflating issues. We're not talking about EA as a whole, or their customer service levels in any way. We're only talking about why they're not developing for consoles that were replaced 3 years ago. And being a moderator doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have an opinion. If you are as knowledgeable as you say, then you should understand that there is no longer a market need to develop for older gen consoles. And that you can't continue to support  development for the features of new gen, while trying to adapt that for old gen. You can still play older Maddens on your older console. They're not abandoning it. You just won't be able to play the latest version of it. If you want the latest and greatest, you have to upgrade. Should I be mad that my wife's iPhone 12 doesn't support crash detection? Does that mean Apple sucks? If she wants it, she needs to get a new phone. That's how it works. Getting mad at me isn't going to change chat. We won't even get into the next next gen consoles coming out, which are going to made old gen the old old gen boxes.

Originally I wrote a nice long reply but I guess technology got me on my outdated iPhone 😂😉
 

Anyways… most important thing I wrote was…
 

you had some good points, I understand life as/of a MOD.
 

Trust me when I say my comments have/had nothing to do with being mad at you… don’t even know you in person and the internet is just that.
 

I stand by my points, always been for the little guy. I won’t waste my time replying to the others with dumb statements that don’t even know or realize I was basically talking for others. Not everyone standing up for old console people don’t have the latest greatest.
 

I’m also mostly playing HUT as I like it far more than MUT but 🤷🏼‍♂️
 

As for that next console statement… pure TRUTH man… that’ll be crazy - I’ll leave it there.
 

Have a great day & if you are enjoying this MUT cool… Personally each year moves me away from it more & more just can’t completely free myself of it 😂
 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻 - MEDUSA OUT!

Nobody sided with EA but it's not EA's fault that you're still playing old gen and it's not Legend's fault either. A thread like this is made 2-3 times a day and there comes a point where it's just time to upgrade.

Let’s be clear… I was speaking on the OP. I never said it was Legend’s fault either. Legend is a MOD here not an EA employee to my knowledge 
 

People have the right to be mad about a game being put out on the console they have and not having continued support, the store is still supported right? 
 

MUT should have just been put out on new gen if this is how EA Madden intended to have their focus, but they wanted added revenue on a version they are failing to support.
 

I’ll leave it at that!

Personal opinion is that it gets fixed in the next TU. Also personal opinion is that support for old gen will get less and less, especially as new gen consoles are coming out in early 2024, if not sooner. I would think that this may be the last year Madden is supported on old gen. Don't miss my point.

I agree whole heartedly here. My original novel about EAs fault is they probably just shouldn’t have released it for old gen this year - think they dropped the ball there.
 

What‘s new though… seems every year they get worse with stuff… like timelines or dropping new content w/o error or flaws… kinda got use to it & why I, personally move farther & farther away each year… my wallet likes the savings tho from the old days of spending tons & giving away tons!
 

I do see a fix/update coming tho & probably with a new disclaimer to excuse themselves from further issues…. It is what it is!

Bingo. Legend should know better. Madden 24 was sold as old gen compatible, people still running on old gen had EVERY right to expect the game to work properly.

And worse, unlike last year, your team is NOT transferrable to current gen consoles, so those of us suffering from the glacial menus can't even move our teams to a current console to resolve the issue.

This IS costing EA $. I stopped spending when the menu issue hit and they won't see a penny from me until resolved.

And for the insensitive, I have a current gen XBox Series S I bought a month after launch. But with lack of transferability I ain't starting from scratch to try and catch up.

TY.  

I love the insensitive point. Some people just want to sound tough or important.  

🤷🏼‍♂️  

I get what Legend is saying too. My intent wasn’t to seem mad or beat them up.  

It‘s tough being a MOD. I was liked as a MOD because I put feelings aside & was open to debates. I only stepped in hard when people truly attacked others.   

I never felt EA Madden really made a lot of sense… story I won’t get into but they are quite hypocritical 😂  

I did a lot for the community & gave a lot in both my time & in… should I say swag, like MUT stuff but also real autograph football stuff & memorabilia for fun.  

I just feel EA Madden gets away with a lot that is unacceptable… but gotten use to it.  

As for consoles, I can and do have whatever console I want… I’m lucky but not everyone is as lucky or fortunate.

Just feel you sell a product then see it thru til the end or don’t release it. They still make $$$ from old gen right? So, support it better!

Gotta upgrade eventually. Why would they worry about their step child

Because their step child still has a supported store that runs & makes them $$$… if their step child’s store lagged or broke do you think they’d jump over mountains to get it handled?
 

I’ll help you out here… YES!!!!
 

What if their step child programming caused field passes to gain extra quick progress? Quick fix?
 

Still YES!!!!
 

So they do worry about their step child but only when they feel like to. Now back to HUT 😂 !

Just like GTA. Gotta upgrade eventually. That extra $$ just more free money

Get a job… heard EA Madden is hiring 😂
 

EA just recycles stuff & hasn’t truly upgraded for years- like your replies, so a perfect fit. Both you should upgrade eventually just not happening, 😂
 

Have a good day tho.

I'm just personally mad that the Xbox Series S isn't considered "New Gen." I saved up my money and I got a new Xbox when I was playing MLB The Show (where Xbox Series S has gotten all of the new stuff). Then, I get to Madden 24, fully expecting to get all of the new things associated on new gen, and I'm stuck on the old-gen model of the game. I'm not complaining, because I still like Madden, it just sucks not being able to use lurk artist, have better graphics, and use the momentum shifts.

Sorry man, that sucks… & just think… get to do this all again soon for another big price tag… wonder how much the next console will cost and if it’ll be worth it.
 

I do like the S tbh tho… X is cool with certain things for certain people - but just to bulky & I don’t use discs nor care bout other stuff besides the storage space.
 

Have a good day.

So? 

You can say the same about all sports games. Majority is copy and paste. Even shooting games. Different skins and maps.

Not our fault you're stuck with the rag doll.

MUT isn’t all that Madden 24 has to offer. I wouldn’t expect EA to put any time into MUT on old gen. Feel lucky that they put any time all into it.

I feel the same way I do t want to buy a new Xbox but the super slow loading is so fcking annoying

And how much more expensive the cards are

You think that people that paid for old gen madden should feel lucky if EA takes the time to make the game playable by fixing the menus? None of the people posting their complaints about old gen are wanting anything other than a working menu. Do you think they are asking too much? 
   Also you note that MUT isn’t all that madden 24 offers. Does that mean if they shut down mut completely  on all versions we shouldn’t complain because it has other modes it offers?
