Usually by around February it is $20 on sale or even less. Why buy Madden 27 at launch when you can continue playing Madden 26 for 6 months then buy Madden 27 much cheaper in 5 to 6 months. Other games (like GTA 6) I get buying at launch because they don’t have constant yearly releases but with sports games it makes zero logical sense. Not to mention those that spend money on MUT when you can’t bring your MUT players to the next release. Huge waste of money.

So, for the second time in a week, I completed the Rookie Premiere CPU event and DIDN'T get the promised reward pack ... And I expect EA to again tell me to go fuck myself, even though I AGAIN have video evidence.

Man they jsut don’t make em like they used too! Mini drills, helmets popping off, interesting injuries….. SAN DIEGO chargers in QUALCOMM!!!!! The nostalgia!!!

Just played against 3 dudes in a row that literally just talked trash the entire game. About 50% of it was literal yelling. I don’t even have my mic turned on and never talk but everyone on this game for whatever reason feels the need to trash talk at levels that are just straight up annoying.

I honestly wouldn’t mind a little ACTUAL competitive trash talk while still showing some respect, but do you really need to tell me over and over again that I’m the worst madden player in the world and I should delete the game, or that I play like a p****y, or something along those lines?

A challenge for you guys… Pick a team and then regardless of whom they have at QB you replace their starting QB with either Gardner Minshew, Hendon Hooker, or Tommy DeVito. The first season goes 100% SIM and after that full control, BUT you HAVE to keep that dude until retirement and he's also got to be the starter the entire time, no drafting another dude to replace him.

The comment with the most up votes about which guy and which team to use will become the one that I do, since I'm issuing the challenge and all. I will not accept doing it with the Patriots, Eagles, Seahawks, Rams, and the Bengals since they were all in the Super bowl fairly recently even if they all didn't win the Superbowl obviously.

I’m wondering if anyone in this subreddit has a creative solution for dealing with preset QB contracts like Dak Prescott’s. I enjoy playing franchise but I always find myself in cap hell unless I go in and manually edit the contract to reflect real life. Realistically, Dak will never play on an 86 million dollar season. They will normally restructure/ extend the contract using void years that are built in to keep it around top 5 money. This year I think he was on the books to make 68, but now he’s the 4th highest paid at the 44 million. Madden unfortunately sticks you with that 76 and 86 million dollar seasons, and makes it nearly impossible to realistically divvy that up with an extension.

Any solutions to this problem while not turning off salary cap and keeping some realism?

I hear a lot of times people bring up how hard it is to make and code certain aspects of the game. Was wondering what you guys think is the most difficult aspect of gameplay to code into a game

Does it make a difference if you manually do them versus simulating them for the focus players? I really don't know and hadn't thought about it until this past weekend honestly...
