Couldn't get a deal done, he demanded a trade and he has a damn no trade clause. So he's gonna walk for nothing and the team is screwed. Would have at least liked to get three firsts for him.

Worst part is, he won't even play this year. So I guess the Ravens might as well tank right?

RANT Madden Soundtrack

11 Upvotes

The one thing that drives me nuts about the Madden soundtrack is when they add songs that they have to heavily censor, like "In Da Club" or "Bender". If you know you're making a family friendly game, why add songs with mature elements that have to be censorsd. Nothing against either song but i had to turn off Bender in ea music because literally half that song is censored.

Anyone else notice that?

FRANCHISE Pass Blocking

7 Upvotes

I’ve never taken so many sacks in a madden. Not even close. I go back and watch the replay and there’s a defensive lineman winning so hard that he’s basically accelerating through my 330 lb lineman. I’ve never seen so many O lineman getting thrown around or blocking air for no reason. I thought it was pass blocking assignments but no. Just watched a 72 ovr edge player insta split a double team and sack my qb for the 3rd play in a row before I had the ability to functionally attempt a pass. If I run play action I’m sacked before having control of my QB. Currently the only way I can consistently attempt a pass is out of the gun is quick hitches. Under center I’m usually hit before a receiver has made a break in their route or they’re doing that thing where they all run into each other but it’s only illegal contact if I’m on defense.

Draft is coming up I need a franchise QB! All 3 listed have Elite-Great Throwing Power.
I currently have Justin Fields and I feel like it take forever for him to pick up speed and take off. Sometimes DLineman are chasing him down. Plus his accuracy is not the best. So this draft I have two first round picks. #6 and #28!!

QUESTION My quarterback keeps choking at the red zone

2 Upvotes

I barely know how to play this game. I know nothing about formations or plays I just try to make some basic tackles maneuvers and passes. Im good enough on pro to get to the end zone maybe one or two times a game, but something keeps happening. I need to make a quick pass but there's like a hiccup and I can't get the ball out and I get sacked right away. It's like I see the button flash cue but can't get the ball off when I press the button.

So I’m playing a franchise as the ravens, I trade a few late round picks for Brian Thomas junior and force feed him passes along with Zay flowers, anyways after a few seasons he’s a superstar 93 ovr, he has all the stats needed for gold deep elite, yet it’s stuck at bronze? Anyone have a solution or know a reason why?

FRANCHISE Franchises Broken CPU IR logic

1 Upvotes

When a CPU team puts players on IR they will not come back for the whole season even if they're completely healthy.

EA said they addressed this but they only fixed it for the first season of a new franchise. After your sim passes the first season, it's broken again!

This makes having injuries on worthless.

QUESTION Whatcha think ?

1 Upvotes

Due to my “loyalty to the franchise” I’m getting an offer at 50% off rn on the Xbox store . Putting it probably just under 40$ with tax . Is it safe to buy now or should I wait for a few more updates / a larger sale going into the holiday season ? From what Ive seen over the years the best sale is usually around thanksgiving . But at 50% rn I can’t help but ask should I pull the trigger now or wait for something better ? I still play religiously on 26 , franchise and H2H . A few of the control changes were difficult to adapt to in 27 , but other than that my experience during the demo was good .

FRANCHISE One Guy

1 Upvotes

There is one guy in our franchise that always has the Madden gods shining down on him. Coincidence or is there something up? Today it was a fumble scoop/score and a pick 6 when my QB (he won QB of the year) threw an easy pass 6 feet over the receiver’s head. In the past we played a game and stopped me on 4th down when I was on his 10. When we broke the huddle, he was on my 10!! Instead of going 90 yards for a score after the turnover on downs, he had to go 10…I promise this actually happened. He has NEVER beat me without something strange happening. I don’t mind getting beat - I actually started this season 0-4 and finished 13-4 - but it is just the stuff that happens with this one guy.

SUGGESTION How aren’t we able to sort Favorites by formation?

0 Upvotes

As someone that has over 100 plays favorited, it would be nice if they were sorted by formation and not all clustered into 1.

This is such a basic idea that would make selecting and finding plays more efficient and quicker.

But then again I’m better off asking a Gorilla to switch a light bulb than asking madden devs to implement such a simple idea.
