For me it’s defense, especially zone.
my secondary is not good enough to play man so I’m forced to play zone
more then half the time the zones dont work when i adjusted them to a certain amount(example, putting 30 yard curl flats and then not going anywhere near 30 yards)
and DB’s slow reaction especially on corner routes
not having $69.99 to buy Madden 25 haha
The handling of the launch, I actually enjoy the gameplay
- missing UA items
- missing RP items
- Solos glitched
no word for resolving any issues or make rights.

Yes! And the unapologetic manner they "thank us for our patience" to avoid taking any responsibility for their fuck ups. I think it just bothers me so much because I know how quickly they fix issues that benefit the player.
Just all the glitches. This has been a huge problem for them forever but its gotten BAD BAD since the year they first added comp/field passes.
The actual program content is mostly good. The gameplay isnt too bad besides the usually handful of things, but there ALWAYS HAVE BEEN and ALWAYS WILL be those (I remember back in NFL Prime Time for Genesis I'd piss my cousin off cause i figured out you could commit blatant 60/70 WR assault unflagged as long as you got an INT and if you manually took your LB back on FG/PATs and rammed him into the fieldgiak post the kicker froze before he kicked it) There's a million different modes which is cool (they mentioned some 6v6 I havent seen either which I'm interested in seeing how that plays out)
But jesus christ figure out your distrubution/backend account shit. Missing UAs for most (yet some get them or some of thme). Boom solos ALL went live last week. I'm now fucked for doing the "Ultimate" ones because im registered as 15/15 but the Watson or Token didnt exist yet (not to mention any sort of real CS could sort a case like this 5 mins if they were 1) know what they need to about the game and 2) are allowed to fix issues not this round about email tag "It's a known issue" farce of CS EA has now.
The UA/RP fiasco. Weirdly the worst parts of this game are the shit that's not really football related at all. Just jesus christ I'm not a programmer or anything so I idk what the exact problem or/solution is but I've played plenty of games that deal with items and such and have never seen any of them come anywhere close to as awful as Madden is consistly is with them MUT.
Gameplay wise it’s definitely the kick returns. They are out of control and decide way too many games. So you have the option to kick out of bounds, scum kick, or give up a TD. These are bad options.
Yeah, zone defenses aren’t playing great right now, but they will adjust for that while at the same time we will start getting 90 zone players. It’s like this every year.
Waiting on the content we were supposed to get.
Price floors
Stem route speed burst glitch is mildly annoying.
Other than that, Im a fan.
Ive had a lot of close games that came down to the last seconds and its been enjoyable win or loss.
delayed/lack of content. it’s either buy packs or stare at the menu screen.
Defense.
Ya defense is brutally hard this year, maybe I just suck but it seems my secondary just won’t do anything in zone and man works well enough unless your opponent is smart and can cook you
My problem is more-so an EA Madden problem as a whole. The same stuff I disliked last year is the same I dislike this year- we get less solo content every year, less usable players you can earn from solos, content gets delayed way more these days than the past and at least content delays in the past would be a few hours -> 1 day max. Like now we’re getting rookie premieres a whole week after release and they’re STILL getting delayed. Half the time they don’t even give make-rights anymore for when they mess up major things (I’m still salty about the glitch not allowing me to get comp pass Woolen in Madden 23 and they gave 0 make-rights).
I’ve genuinely never been this bored of a madden only one week into it’s release and I’m glad I held out and didn’t by the deluxe edition this time around, but
I love how in both cfb (even though its totally a new game!) and madden the years old glitch of fighting through a block downfield AFTER a screen pass is completed still results in "illegal contact" lol
This company is a joke.
