Is it just me?

Or is madden getting boring much faster than previous years? so far the gameplay is meh, cbs either get dusted terribly or stick on their guy and become physic and jump the route. Oline refuses to block. But my biggest gripe so far is that it feels like theyre dropping the same positions over and over LTD Metcalf just came out  on thursday, tomorrow theyre dropping Calvin, Metcalf was the best WR in the game for 1 weekend, 3 whole days. I remember when you use to get a brand new card and it would be the best at its position for at minimum of 3 weeks, sometimes it would be the best for months. now it feels like youre just wasting coins getting any player because a new one is gonna come out in less than a week and surpass him

That fact were not recieving rewards is definitely a downer, no reason to boot up rn.

Calvin coming out right after DK doesn't really matter sense most people use 3 WRs, I can see ur point if you're talking about QB/HB.

im using calvin as an example of how fast theyre moving this year, the rewards definitely killing me also, im probably owed like 3 mill in coins

I wouldn’t say boring, but more frustrating or disappointing

i just feel like theres nothing to really do, solos are few and far inbetween, i only play solo battles for the cp, onine h2h is just people running meta blitzes, and cover beaters, and the brand new cards are now getting out dated within a week. the market is stupidly high, sets are broken, were not getting h2h rewards for superbowls. idk theres so much wrong rn that when i log on, i sit on the mut screen, and just talk to my friends in discord.  And thats not like me, normally ill play mut till july and have fun

I guess start a farm and stack or hustle coins to your buddies. I’d rather be supplemented by friends than gamble on ea packs

Everyone has this game for a reason and plays their own way. You included and your feelings and opinions towards your game are valid

the reason why i rarely buy a card when they have the label as best WR, RB, QB etc. cuz you pay a premium for them being the best at that point when you can wait a week and someone better comes out and that card comes down in price by a lot. i also noticed how we have 6 90+ QBs and 7 90+ Wr yet we have 2 90+ FS. 4 90+ across all OL positions they need to spread out the 90s more and not just make them an OB/WR/CB

What is wrong with the gameplay it’s way better then recent maddens for sure. Also players would be the best at their positions for a while if new content didn’t come out if that’s what you want

the game play as a hole is fine, but its got stupid bugs or inconsistencies  atleast on old gen, im on pc, you can run the same play on offense, vs the same defense, and have to wildly diff results and its not even close, ive had corner backs stop running and just watch a play cuz of a cover beater.. and idk if youve played old muts, but you use to be able to get a card and even when new cards came out at that position it would still be the best at its position, this year its not like that, i like having a unique team, and a good team, but the new cards shouldnt be getting replaced within a week.

I've been saying it. It's the Solo content or lack of. They cut rewards and all the Solo challenges they used to have in the game. They expect people to spend real money on cards and everyone go into H2H and play one another so your opponent is the content instead of real content. There's a subset of people who have zero interest in H2H and I'd bet it's not an inconsequential number of people I'm guessing at least 40%. Those people won't buy next year's game since the reason they played is gone. They stick just enough Solo stuff in the comp pass to ensure the player comes up short of anything worth a damn and then force you to go into H2H to finish it off. If their H2H was good they wouldn't have to dangle a carrot in front of the player to go in there.

I completely agree with you.  I've never been a fan of playing H2H.  I know a lot of people enjoy it but it just stresses me out, to be honest.  Playing solos can be frustrating at times but not stressful like H2H.

I will say this comp pass, I think I should be able to get the player with them increasing the Solo Battle win to 2 CP from 1.  So, I hope that's the case for everyone else.

Just a shame really that the gameplay is good but the constant screwups from EA on top of the reduced rewards on top of reduced content makes it really hard to stick with this game unfortunately.

Yes, honestly the gameplay this year is really the best it's been for me (as a solo player) since probably Madden 16.
