I recall one player but I can't for the life of me recall who. Glad to find another call it out though.Kyle Allen in the Bills said that 2K5 is still the best soccer game ever produced. The demonstration is years before Madden 20, the halftime/postgame and weekly commentary from Chris Berman is iconic and which Madden 20 coins makes you feel like you're actually watching ESPN with his vivid commentary. Plus the blocking appears and feels realistic with you having the ability to listen to the shoulder pads along with players battling position At the trenches as the play unfolds.

It's better than the last 3-4 Madden, but it is still lacking in a great deal of we had to have in franchise. I agree that it was an improvement, but 19 was likely the Madden ever published. Madden play remains clunky and far too cartoon based, only 8 QBs have their real throwing animations, and as you said, Franchise remains shocking. Yeah, 19 was dreadful. 20 made a great deal of improvements. I concur, and hopefully with the 2k deal they'll need to step their game up even more because of the possibility of losing the exclusive permit.

As much as I expect this happens, we're getting NFL Playgrounds out of 2K, and it won't compare to Madden. It'll be similar to Mario Kart to Need for Speed from all reality. Mario Kart is better, but way more arcade-y than an arcade racer. I understand but when madden is terrible the license is up in 2021. EA only care for money right? Even though the NFL has a fanbase that is far larger, 2k way outsells madden. The reason why is the end result of multiple factors. One being the fact that Basketball as a sport is becoming a top 2 game in the whole planet, and the thickness of Madden itself.

As we know, the NFL has final acceptance of the Madden game. There is no way we receive a 2K game that is even close to what we had in 2k5 (which I will concur is hands down the best football game ever released). Until the NFL is conducted 9, that will happen. As of now is that the MLB. This is a fantasy, Rex Dickson has stated the NFL put hardly any limitations on which they can do in sport. This was after he'd stopped.

What improvements did they create? Because they still have horrible pass coverage, run blocking schemes which don't make sense, recipients that operate their routes too slow, linebackers that just let themselves be blocked (if they are blocked at all. Schemes often don't allow second level blocking), D-Linemen that don't attack gaps, QB's that fumble insanely too much (that was done for comp reasons but has no business being in regular gameplay), horrendous pursuit angles, players that can't pick up a fumble, I suggest the list continues on and on and on. Many of them are. But hey, at least we have RPOs and the Philly Special right?

I don't get why they don't just spend the Franchise style back from 2004-2007 and deliver it back. Keep the things that they have going on in the Franchise today and combine the two. Bring back like the radio series. Story lines going on with trainers and players personality type. Random events. As for rebuilding a team realistically offline style should have more allure. I swear Ultimate Team completely has destroyed madden developmental abilities all together as a group aka resulting in complete cash grab, half assed, gameplay. Ultimate team should be simple. Challenges, Online Play, Collect Cards. Promos. Solos. Take notes from MLB the series... or other companies with some positive facets of their version of ultimate team. It shouldn't be this hard, but cheap Mut 20 coins EA likely doesn't even have a formula for wiping their own ass. I swear only a little bit of research, assessing opinions from fans, and also taking a peak at wishlists.Madden could be improved.
