Last year was ridiculous. They took away editing positions, numbers, info, etc. even though those were features that had always been in Madden. It wasn't a glitch. They did it because they felt that being able to edit your players would ruin the point of the new Connected Careers mode. They only added it back in after everybody was upset about it.
In the past few years there appear to have been a LOT of glitches in these Madden games. I don't think they even do any quality tests before releasing it. Why bother when you can have people pay $60 to test the game for you? If they had 2 years to make a game they'd have time to iron everything out, but at this point they're expected to churn out a new game each year. Exclusivity licenses need to end. I want my EA MVP Baseball and NFL 2k series back.

Is that why they did it? I figured they had a reason, but I don't think I even played last years version at all so I didn't know what it was.
I still have 2k5 laying around, been thinking about loading it back up when the roster update site I've seen gets around to updating week 1 rosters. It's been so long since I've played it, I wonder how it's aged. Used to love making Koy Detmer league MVP. The AI had so much trouble picking him off. His arm strength rating was so low they would mistime their int attempt and jump before the ball even got close to them and leave my receiver wide open for an easy first down so often. |

Worst is people who cheesed the game by putting Randy Moss on punt returns (99 or 100 SPD stat, I forget which) because you basically could just run sideline-to-sideline to get the AI way out of position then get a return essentially 100% of the time if they kicked to you at all. crossrine |

Pretty sure it took them until early 2013 to patch last year's game. Anyway my issue isn't that there are glitches so much as it is the nature of the glitches. I mean, how do you release a game in which the team that loses the Super Bowl celebrates? They've gotten the Super Bowl celebration right for like 20 years.
"YES! We don't have to pick last in the draft! Take that, league 'champions'"!

That sounds more egregious than it really is, in my opinion. More of a thing that you'd have a laugh about with your friends when it happens. But I guess there are people out there in their dynasty modes or w/e who would get pissed off about that. But it seems like a simple coding fix anyway that will probably be released in the first patch I'd imagine.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending EA or anything because I hate them and wish their games all would fail, but most common glitches are generally fixed. Or lazily coded around. Remember the "fatigue" issue in like '03? Their solution: fatigue was turned off for online play, instead of fixing the exploit that was causing it. IN THEIR DEFENSE, that was probably a time/money constrain issue and they created a quick simple fix. In subsequent Madden releases they simply have no fatigue for online play. Minor gripe, but for players who want to play a physical run game they are at a disadvantage. etc etc forget where I was going with this post, brb eating yogurt crossrine |

Anyway since I've been gaylording this thread up with Madden/fantasy talk, I guess I will add some "real football" talk to the mix.
Anyone else think the Chiefs are going to fall flat this year? They seem to be the big "hyped" team right now. Shitty record last year, new coach, lots of talent on the roster, new QB, shitty division. Every "pundit" is basically predicting them to go 11-5 and gain a wildcard spot. Think we should pump the brakes on them a bit. Would be hilar to see them go 6-10 after Charles inevitably gets banged up after becoming a 300-carry back, Alex Smith continues to be Alex Smith, and Reid costs the Chiefs 3 games with horrible clock management and challenge flag usage.

If the Gameplay is better, which it has been every year running, its going to be fine. I could care less if a relocated team name is glitched. If that is what causes you NOT to buy a FOOTBALL game, I dunno, you probably shouldnt play anything. |

Feel like he could come back sooner with the cast. I imagine hand work with a still healing hand in a cast would be a nightmare but could be back much sooner. Who knows. |

Was gonan make a thread in the VIDEO GAMES forum but figured I'd gauge some interest here first.
Who all is getting Madden 25? Anyone interested in doing a Connected Franchise mode together? We each control a team and basically run it, play the games etc. Would be kinda hot. I've done it a bunch in the NHL games, I imagine it's mad fun in football as well. crossrine |

Outside of the first month, their schedule is pretty soft but could see them fall flat if either the Chargers end end up being better than in recent years or they get too caught up in the hype if they start out strong. |

The Giants had released Aaron Curry in the first round of cuts on Sunday. Now he's announced his retirement. Can't say I blame him after failing to make it past one round of cuts with a paper thin LB core.
Probably one of the bigger draft busts of the past 10 years. |

On the plus side, at least the NFL settled their lawsuit with the former players on the concussion thing. $768M it's going to cost them. Somehow that doesn't feel like enough.

Another teensy silver lining in the grand scheme of it all is that they'll get a good long hard look at Wilson to see if he can be "the guy". It'll pretty much be the first time the G-Men have had a 3-down back since, shit, Tiki? crossrine |
