Ranking Madden 24

I liked this year I thought some promos were pretty bad but overall i had a lot of fun this year 8.5/10

Dont remember madden being this bad. This was the year of crappy rushed half ass content and pure money grabs(locking ability tokens or any slight advantage beheind some form of $ as well as getting rid of bnd set returns). This is the year of us being guinea pigs for how much $ we will spend into july. Thats why there is no tvp or anything that prints a good return on coins. Just add 5-8 zero ap bucket/passive xfactor players and push $ bundles  to us poor souls who are addicted to the love of football to see how much they can get away with. Look how dirty they did GTs this year in terms of info and communication...literally no info at all on GTs which were always the "holy grail" of cards and hyped to the max(UL cards were horrible at start until EA made them cracked to sell more packs.) The greed and lazyness was pretty disgusting this year and shows the plan EA has set going forward.

game is decent but ablitys  made it bad

nah sounds like you are pressed smh just my opinion but im sure you love spending money, using ebooks because you have zero football iq,  sure you love comics and the avengers with this superhero Pokemon game having the cpu with abilities and xfactors bail you out, etc etc etc lol stay riding Madden tho......cant wait for ncaa

I wish there was weekend league with coin and pack prizes for getting a certain amount of wins. The pack odds sucked, the only packs worth opening (rarely) as a NMS player were rerolls imo. 
 

6/10

4/10

To play, its pretty much the same game as last year. And the year before that and the year before that etc. There have been years where some stuff was marginally better and other stuff was marginally worse and 24 is no different. Its still, even in 2024, a game where the weather never changes, weight and momentum seem not to matter, the basic physics of tackling seem to be situation-dependent,  no one knows if the numbers on the cards make any difference and AP is far too OP so that any idiot can stack their players and run youtube cheese all day. Some of the most basic football concepts, like being able to run against 3 down lineman just do not apply, defenders take horrible angles and OL often stand around in bunches rather than block. DDA (which 100% exists) makes some games pointless from the get-go. I really dislike OOP in general but appreciate its a game and some people think its 'fun'. Having to defend against 2 or 3 Bo Jacksons, watching Joe Alt and Too Tall Jones play Corner or the Fridge play RB is just stupid though. Like in a really childish way. 

This year the AH seems to have been messed with a few times so that buying and selling cards is harder. As an NMS player, it worries me that making the AH functionally pointless is a step on the road to binning it all together. That would be terrible. Training, a decent idea from 3 or 4 years ago looks to be on its way out.

Promos have been boring. Outside the big seasonal offers its hard to see any theme or reason for the promo, they feel rushed, and to be getting 96's with no discount buckets in June is frankly a joke. Some real head-scratchers on the players offered and some very dubious OVR's out there. The 'challenges' are just really dull and for the last 4 or 5 promos its been way easier just buying the cards you want rather than grind for them. 

And why does my binder have to be stacked full of legacy shit from last fucking November that I cannot QS!?!

TLDR - its a poor-quality game that doesn't do even the most basic things properly and, in trying to please everyone, actually pisses everyone off instead. 

Its a 4/10 for me but I'll play it because its all there is.

Building a team I had fun.

Actual gameplay H2H it's the worst since MUT existed

6/10

7/10. Some abilities are still a nightmare to deal with and pack odds are hideous, and there were money grabs a lot, but I overall had a good time.

Not the worst Madden I have played but surely not the best either.  I think it was mid, so maybe a 6.5.

They went nuts with OOP players which is not for me personally.   A few is fine but there had to be close to 100 OOP this year.

I think overall gameplay was pretty good compared to other recent years, if you removed abilities and X-Factors which dominated the game and were way too much this year.  

Content overall was very up and down.  They hit some HR's in programs like TTAS, Superbowl, later UL's and Combine but then had some pretty major flops with Reel Deals, Crucible, Infinite Flux and Genki Force.  Presents were a huge disappointment this year and while eggs were better, I still don't think they had the impact of some of the prior year's.  

Pack odds were/are total garbage.  You pretty much had a 0% chance of pulling a LTD or GT out of a normal pack.  You could only get them in the money Opportunity Packs.  Mystery packs for the most part, outside the glitch, were/are useless.  

Card art was very average this year.  Wasn't any standout for me here.

One word sums up this year’s Madden; CHEEKS 💩! Content was ok but the Game was broke all year take your pick nothing worked how it was supposed to! In the second straight titled make or break year! Like people forgot EA titled 23 the same it was a total break and epic fail!

Worse madden ever! And I’m a triple OG! I’ve literally played since first Madden ever

It was prolly a 6/10. It would be better with rpos being nerfed a little, no more xfactors that start on or added as regular passive abilities. And implement an AI tuning feature that helps on defense when an opponent runs the same play over and over.
