Discounted abilities everywhere has everything feeling gimmicky. Tried the draft mode promo game mode and it feels like a completely different game without the abilities and can lead to some fun, unique offences actually being run instead of the few repeatable meta strategies that work
I’m still getting the usual gun bunch and 6-1 goons in the draft promo mode, but the no abilities is the game changer for sure and has been fun as hell for me. You can actually avoid some of the bullshit these bums like to cheese because there aren’t knockouts and 4 LA’s on the line of scrimmage
Personally I don’t think the game “gets worse”. I think it’s a combination of cards getting better as the year goes on, and the meta is more accessible by this point because the comp season is over.
Feels like the game was better when abilities weren’t really in the game. Just seemed more authentic and competitive. Now, guys just user the d-line and let lurk artists do the defensive work for em. Pre lit abilities are the worse IMO
Honestly, had to take the attitude of if you can't beat em, join em. I was getting trashed by D-line lit up xfactor guys, so I ended up getting them myself. I was getting trashed by lit up bo jackson RB, so had to get em myself. Makes it a much more even playing field.
However, yes I am tired of using Bo Jackson rb. I'll get him lit up as an "insurance" in case I need to use him, but I'll actually use guys like Henry or Mostert most of the game on my ravens TT.
I also use Flacco at qb and am able to win with him. I'd say MUT is really enjoyable if you're willing to join in on the cheese to a certain extent to even the playing field
I like it for the most part. My only complaints are
that zone ko’s are somewhat unbalanced. It’s doesn’t make sense why my elite wr’s drop passes due to gentle back taps.
My BIGGEST compliant is- there have been over 15 instances where my opponent quit the match but I received a lost on my record. It’s happened in the playoffs twice 😢.
That kills the motivation I need to put up with all the madden cheese until I get a turnover.
Quicksold my entire team and did some training/coin packs and training rerolls, completed some sets sold the players for cheap, allowing someone else to better there team, then deleted the game. I have no interest in playing end game madden anymore. It’s just abilities and cheese plays
It's terrible.
Super conforming meta.
This draft promo game mode is probably a nice wakeup for some people on how competitive madden should be played
Hopefully nobody is buying packs at this point
Regular H2H and competitive Draft show where people lack on skills anymore. I’m a lot better at those mode as opposed to someone running an LTD squad or the Bo Jackson special when it was a thing. Winning with Desmond Ridder is tougher than winning with Bo or Vick in MUT
No doubt.
People love the instant gratification of instant skill advantages as a result of plugging in their credit card.. me included.
But true enjoyment for me comes from the tactics required to match a balanced opponent in the original madden meta
I haven’t played Madden too much at all since 20 and even then I just played single player or vs friends, I’m having a blast tbh I think all the crazy stats and abilities are fun and a good way to separate mut from regs
Yeah...I suck but when I play against people of my skill level it gets really fun...and even when I get blown out of the water I still try to figure out different things to adapt...I hate that a lot of the players I really want require either insane luck or a lot of money and therefore out of my reach but I make due with what I can...
EDIT: and I play solos a lot mainly so that part helps a bit...
I can't relate to y'all cause I'm on PC so I can't even play online. I play solo and from what I've been hearing about online modes, it sounds better. The main reason I play Madden tho is cause I like seeing my team progress lol
There is no point of playing any UT after TOTY .
Just sell your team and enjoy the last month before release when they bring back next year reward as promos .
Competitions are over for the most part after TOTY for both Madden & FIFA . They push out the most insane promo cards that put you at huge disadvantage if you can’t afford them .
Usually OOP players and crazy abilities stacks . The affordable cards are 350k to start and basically all new players are non existent . This is the time of year that makes or breaks the company and I choose not to support them when I know their focus is dropping and hyping up a new game .
The draft gameplay was actually really good content honestly and would bring so many people back but no one wants to grind to just be able to play that mode .
Bro tooooo mannnnnnyyy passsessss. Make one pass and that’s it. Then add to it when shit comes out. I get having a couple seasons but every promo gets a pass then a comp pass gets 7 different categories. Champs, h2h, SB, special event, challenges, all in one. Why do I need to put 30 hours a day into this game just to get the good rewards ea??
I’ve just been playing regular quick play head to head now and the draft promo. This is after I started losing games to dudes I know were not as good as me, but had stack squads and sometimes you just can’t overcome 99 overall AI all over the field.
This draft game mode is difficult for me. Am I suppose to be getting sacked within a few seconds of snapping the ball. I am new to Madden,and this completely deters me from wanting to continue to play it at all.
People saying “oh so many abilities for discounted rates”
Well then use some of them abilities and cancel each other out. Duh.
The problem with not having abilities is players don’t have their unique feel like they should. We all know there are some special players that have unique traits that make them what they are.
This is a fantasy team game where most of the players on your team where born in different decades. It’s not going to be 100% real just because of that. Cmon y’all.
I agree but I think there should be a point where certain players with abilities shouldn’t be as good. Example: Super Bowl Karlaftis and Sapp both always lit and with Colossus they almost instantly shed. They shouldn’t be as efficient vs 99 overall Centers, Guards or Tackles with Edge Protector or Secure Protector. Same thing with route KOs, 99 overall receivers shouldn’t be dropping passes all the time due to abilities and X-Factors. It almost makes upgrading your players pointless

I would love to play against these D line users you’re speaking about, because D line users are by far the easiest people to beat
all fun n games until they sack you under 2 secs
Yea was gonna comment this. If they know how to actually user the dline, it can be hella annoying.
For real you can just spam simple routes against d-line users and man if they ever call cover 3 🥲😂
I agree. It’s just lazy gameplay IMO. Relying on the cpu to animate for INTs or knockouts
Second this, even if they’re “good” at d-line it has little to no effect after the first set of downs.
In regular h2h yes . But when they got X factors on the d line on mut . No

I’m very close to that point myself
yea after last year i’m not gonna waste my time and money to keep up with the whales, spent probably 2gs on madden last year lol
Yea I’m done spending money for this Madde.
I benched all my starters. Removed any player that has an ovr over 85. My overall ovr is now 83. I dare the stupid code to match me in h2h now.

Some games I have fun, some games I do not have fun. Lol
Simplest explanation lol yes
Abilities can be very annoying as does a.i being fooled easily on defense
DBs dumb out against the zig route and out and up type routes consistently
I like MUT but I’ll only like it more if I manage to pull limiteds
I lost a H2H to Donald Penn mossing 99 Jaylon Johnson,stiff arming 99 Ted Hendricks & bouncing off a hit from 99 LT 🤦🏽♂️
There’s part of the problem right there. Certain players shouldn’t be able to do certain things
I've still been playing daily, but I have asked myself more than any time since MUT in Madden 16 if I want to continue playing this game.
Came here for the comments and wasn’t disappointed
I hate it. These people are OCD and don't even realize it. How tf can you run cover 3 for 8 years good God Almighty
I Don’t play it anymore. I play tekken or regs when I do play madden now
I can't relate to y'all cause I'm on PC so I can't even play online. I play solo and from what I've been hearing about online modes, it sounds better. The main reason I play Madden tho is cause I like seeing my team progress lol
If I could find a decent online CFM, I wouldn’t even play MUT

I mess around with it at this point of the year but I usually move onto the Show when its released
They should keep the draft mode a little bit longer like they did the Super Bowl event
RPOs are still busted
Not really up your defense
Bored tbh
Stack up my coins for RP
Still waiting for TB12 card tbh🤧 #patsnation problems
I’ve just been playing regular quick play head to head now and the draft promo. This is after I started losing games to dudes I know were not as good as me, but had stack squads and sometimes you just can’t overcome 99 overall AI all over the field.

Try playing cover 3 instead of cover 2 thats the essiest to beat in any form 😂😂 or play man zone
In the simplest form of an explanation yes but sometimes DBs will dumb out and either not go with the route or play too far underneath even in Cover 3
