It is a pay to win game mode and I choose not to pay. Originally, I had planned on not buying Madden until I could get it on sale, but in the world of supply and demand – you all demand the Madden coverage, and I am happy to supply it to the best of my ability.Īlso, I do not plan on playing MUT for any serious amount of time other than to get easy trophies out of it or to play solo grinds when I want a change from Franchise Mode. I recommend moving the slider down until you get the proper feel for the CPU completion % – currently, I have the slider at 39, but it might have to go to 35.Īll of the sliders and settings are set to All Pro for now simply because All Madden still seems to cheat the user rather than provide a real challenge – a big difference, in my opinion. Also, Robo QB is back and worse than ever in some ways. The biggest changes from years past is going to most likely be the move of Facemask penalties, I saw over six in more than 3 games. Moving on to gameplay – here are the initial settings I will be using after play-testing sliders and penalties as well as stat checking some stupidly high scoring games. I hope they get fixed and polished up a bit, but in the long run, I think there are good things ahead. So it goes, Franchise has added some cool ideas. Here is a rundown of how that went after the game was over. The others were batted down or overthrown. He caught four and went for 84 yards – he dropped two on crossing routes and missed an endzone grab in the corner. We beat the Ravens by 20+ points and I targeted him on over 10 passing attempts. One instance had Jarvis Landry ask me to target him in our game against Baltimore. One addition that is supposedly going to be updated regularly in Franchise Mode (most likely in Cloud Based Franchises if I had to bet on it) is the dialogue options from your players that make demands like more targets or more attention as a whole in an upcoming game. This is definitely another year where we will have to implement house rules just to keep ourselves honest. I was also able to move on from other players and acquire mid to late round picks with ease. I was able to move Duke Johnson to the Eagles for a 1st Round Pick. One thing that hasn’t changed in Madden is the terrible trade logic. However, you should fully expect to lose a future star if you aren’t willing to pay him. Having a great backup QB is going to be a nice commodity if you find a gem in the draft. This year, it really is a matter of picking through a garbage heap if you need to find a replacement – Quarterback is the most noticeable in this endeavor. The available free agents don’t make you drop half of your roster to pick up new guys like in past iterations of Madden where you might find a few guys in the upper 70s or low 80s that you can build into monsters. The change to overall ratings was one of the first aspects I noticed. Finally, if I take my team to the Super Bowl in the first season of Franchise Mode, I won’t have the ‘realism nazis’ telling me I need to adjust sliders or play the game with my toes. Starting the season with my beloved Browns was a great feeling. Seriously – NOBODY CARES!!!! Why is it that we have more concern about the Pro Bowl than we do about players being named All Pro? If you look into the actual accolades that truly matter in the NFL it is whether someone is considered to be the top performer at their position – not if they are voted onto an all star team that no one cares about. The worst part I experienced was seeing that the Pro Bowl game existed as a playable feature. The real eye roll happened after I got a message from Jarvis Landry following a big win (more on that to follow). There were some obnoxious animations that did happen in my first game or two that made me roll my eyes and even got a bit of a laugh as well. I was pleasantly surprised by the feel of the gameplay as a whole. It was a nice way to rent Madden 20 and get a feel for what changed in Franchise Mode this year. I pulled the trigger and got one month of EA Access for PS4 the other day. The Browns are going to be awesome – DEAL WITH IT!
