[QUOTE="Muse_Cubed, post: 1000154, member: 12841"] Without turning this post into a pages of rant, Madden has become so shockingly poor. Gameplay-wise it's worse than Madden 08, and much much worse than 2K's All Pro Football 2k8. I mean, the games look good mostly, but they've stripped out all the depth from franchise mode and replaced it with loot boxes. The same problems from Madden 08 are STILL THERE (blocking logic and defensive positioning being the worst, compensated for by suck-in animations), they stripped out all the of the physics elements, and they keep taking features out and adding them back in 5 years later so they can market this "AWSUM NEW FEATURE" before dropping it the next year. I hear FIFA's kinda similar but don't have first hand experience. BTW this isn't hyperbole and I rarely experience nostalgia. I'd be annoyed if Madden had done the bare minimum in adding new features each year, but they've subtracted far more from the football simulation world than they've added in the last 10 years and it's such a cynical approach to making games. I don't expect a return to the golden years of sports gaming (basically the 2000s up until the financial crash), but I do appreciate when teams genuinely try to improve their games year on year, despite budgets or team size. And yeah, Rugby is a hard game to recreate well, especially when the ideal (at least in my head) would be heavily physics based gameplay and pretty complex player behaviour. Not impossible but yeah, it'd be a labour of love and require patience. And cash. [/QUOTE]
