I've been playing madden since madden 03...the game now plays itself and is totally arcade. I'm never buying a madden game again. The game is no longer a chess match with routes vs coverage and is now a rubberbanding mess designed to keep games close due to anti-competitive Dynamiac difficulty adjustments during the game.
Factz! Too many times, I'll be up 21 -0 in 1st, 2nd, 3rd qtr. now my guys start fumbling all of a sudden .. DBs drop picks... WRs can't catch.. Green and Blue passes now become Red. .. False starts... and my absolute favorite one... The Killer CB Offsides because they are moving into position during pre-snap adjustments. By the time you get a grip the opponent has come back and the score is close ... its complete B.S.
@ for real if you’re experienced at the game you will constantly go up by one or two scores early so the game wants the other player to not return the game so you will fumble more miss open throws and get punished for good football plays.
The people buying the game eases the shareholders.... If idiots had some form of self control and respect for themselves, changes would have been made a decade ago
@@mike9031But I have severe FOMO and of I don't fork over $70 for the same game every year I won't be cool anymore and I'll be out of touch with reality. So I will mindlessly buy EA games even though they are stealing from me.
I was playing a Franchise game, and I tortured myself for 3 seasons, and finally made it to the Super Bowl on All-Madden with a 12-5 record. Went down 24-23 after they scored a touchdown. Game winning drive, we walked down the field, completing pass after pass. Greatest 2-minute drill I’ve ever been apart of. On their 43, we just needed one more completion to get in field goal range. I took a deep breath prepared to get into a winning scenario. As soon as I hike it, it’s a play action, as soon as the fake handoff is done, boom. I’m tackled on our own 47. I’m curious. I go back in replay mode to see how he got to me so fast. Next thing I know, the LE just hits a Mario mushroom and absolutely blows by my whole offensive line. I’m being 100% serious. I lost the Super Bowl because the edge rusher gained a 100x speed boost, cancelled all animation, and sacked me on the game winning drive, and we lose. I have never been so angry at a Madden game in my life.
probably because the AI committed pass which grants them a buff on defending PA and don’t forget AI teams gameplan as well so that specific play could of given them attribute buffs. (and cancelling the PA isn’t a solution when the AI is all over it) these buffs combined with All Madden lead to some hilarious “I already know super power ranger” moments.
This happens irl too tho from what I played this year it’s not as bad as people make it seem is it a bad game yes but not that bad like he made a comment about the ball trajectory it’s not great but it’s realistic QBs aren’t perfect at any level
@@ayTesz Dude. When I tell you he gained super speed, he gained fucking super speed. Idk how to fucking explain it, but it was about 1 second of breathing room before I was sacked. I’m being deadass. It wasn’t anything like them committed pass, because there were only 4 rushers, and someone was assigned to block home, but he quite literally just used super speed and ran past him. It’s like there speed and acceleration were in 300. That’s the best way I can describe it
@ there are better throw trajectories in ps2 games from the 2000s sorry but you have no clue what you’re talking about this game is made for kids it’s not a football simulation
Something so stupid about the game, not even from a mechanics standpoint. Its the fact that teams dont play each other within division at the last week of the regular season (like real life). The schedule system hasnt been fixed since madden 13, which is insane especially with how much the schedule has changed since then Another thing is the niners will play at 4 eastern despite being on the west coast and itll be night fall at the 3rd quarter... Lop
My friends an I coined “The keep it interesting engine” to describe what we’d call “Madden bullshit”; where the game goes its own way to create turnovers, broken tackles, blown coverages, poor blocking, etc. seemingly to manufacture a closer game or a comeback. The only known way to overcome this, for us, is cheese.
@kman9884 that's a good nickname away from DDA 😁👍 we both know what's terribly wrong with this game yet the hardcore madden lovers will simply ignore the truths and name bash the rest of us for not knowing how to play this trash.
Madden 15 is sadly the peak of Madden on current-gen consoles (it was technically last-gen, but it's backwards compatible for both major systems, so I say it counts).
The only issues I have with Madden 15 on X1/PS4 is the CPU QBs not throwing the ball or getting rid of it allowing me to pile on a unrealistic amount of sacks a week, 5 sacks one week, 7 here, maybe 9 another week and sometimes the cpu calls 4 verticals but never throw it, annoying. And this bug is strange because Madden 15 on 360 it’s damn near impossible to get sacks and the QB always throws it just before you get in his face, they’re all gunslingers.
6:08 THIS RIGHT HERE! When i was a QB we were taught how to break down defenses and progressions. I can still use those lessons in the old school madden games and the 2k games as well. This is why the last madden ever purchased was Madden 14.
I'm still playing Madden 24. First time I haven't been to midnight release for many years and I've been buying Madden since 1998... Yes... 1998. It's time to make it known
I've been trying to defend this game for years, but I don't get how madden 25 is such a stepback from madden 24. It's actually so bad I might write my final English paper about it. I might even use this channel as a source.
During my one year rb career mode. I saw multiple bad game coding from ea. Multiple times during my time as the rb for the chargers have I seen myself run into my lineman and when I try to leave and seemingly get glued onto the back of them forcing me to get a tackle for loss. Another thing is when I block, one time against the eagles, my rb snapped towards the db blocking them. It threw me off by alot. Like how madden 25 threw me off.
I say it once and I'm going to say it again I'm still playing Madden 06 and NCAA Football 06 for the PS2 I never get tired of it.😊 WWE 2k and NBA 2K games I can play but todays Madden games I can't mess with no way no how.
I game tested Madden 06, Xbox version, worked at Microsoft … Still play today also on my old school Xbox tank original … 2002-2008 are all playable and fun on the PS2 and Xbox …
STOP BUYING THE GAMES! Big companies listen to one thing, MONEY. They don't care if you don't like it if you are still buying it and playing 100+ hours. They are still making money
I almost bought Madden 25 a few days ago. However, the fella at Gamestop asked me, Did you bye College Football 25? I said, I did. He said, Good, your better off playing that than you are Madden. So many people keep asking us, why can't Madden be this good? I said, it can't. Madden just gets worse and worse every single year.
It feels unplayable. It’s so slow and feels like players run with anchors around their ankles. CFB being fast paced shouldn’t be just for college. That should be exactly how Madden plays as well.

"MADDEN NFL 25 is WORSE Than i Thought..." He didn't lie at all. He always saying the truth about why MADDEN NFL 25 is so bad, and it turns out they are.
I haven’t seen this glitch since madden 10/11. At least it personally happening to me. Threw a pass to hines ward, only for it to go straight through his stomach and get picked off by Sam shields. Just turned off the game at that point lol
The fact that in the xbox store the only description for this game is "NOTHING HITS LIKE MADDEN" tells me they have 0 to promote because its so bad lol
The ball went through the receiver because it was predetermined to be an incomplete pass (probably based on a combination of player ratings and rng). The animations sometimes don't sync up with the predetermined outcomes, which is why you something get the janky looking moments that Madden has become famous for.
One thing I have noticed a lot recently is if you somehow manage to hit-stick a player, occasionally they will start seizing on the ground in a circle. Definitely one of the weirdest things I've seen in game for sure.
I severely despise Madden 25 on pc and not only of whats in this vid but the awful lazy port EA gave to us. Gotta tone down the graphics just to play their scripted game. Unbelievable
Madden 25 has become a very manipulative video game. Ea made it worse after the patches. It is no freedom and ea controls you. Not getting madden 26. Gonna only play Ncaa
the game was out for 1 month and went of a 50% sale that says everything nothing new no customization just spend money in our ultimate team mode that sucks
This is an excellent breakdown of the inconsistencies with gameplay and physics within Madden nowadays. I don’t understand why they do not take the time to work on these fundamental core issues that have plagued the game for many years.
Well, I agree w/almost every point u made, outside of how companies don't "give a chance" to franchises, they have to pay for the privilege. They pay the NFL between like 4-5 BILLION bucks every 4-5 yrs or so, for player likenesses, stadiums 🏟, etc. They don't care how much people complain, bc they make literal BILLIONS. Now if somehow people stopped purchasing it, even for ONE year, you'd literally see the best Madden in a decade or more. Companies don't change up successful formulas, when they can put minimum effort, w/maximum results. They don't even have a SINGLE responsibility, to "make the best possible game", like EVERY other company, they ONLY have a responsibility 2 make as much cash, as possible. 1 of biggest ways to know a game is in bad shape, is when they become publicly traded on the stock market. That means they switch from making the best possible game, over to having a fiscal responsibility, to make as much cash 💸 for their stockholders, as humanly possible
I only got Madden to play with Derrick, Henry and Lamar Jackson, but the blocking is so bad. I can’t bear to pick up my controller and play. You have nailed it on the head. This game is terrible.
yeah he is giving way too much credit to College football. It may not be as bad or as frequent as this mess of a game, but all the same issues still happen a ton.
I noticed these same problems when I played a quick Madden game: I did a throw back game with Cowboys vs Jets meaning I put both teams in their throw back uniforms and played at Metlife Stadium. Now when the Jets wore their throwback uniforms they changed the logo in the middle of the field to the classic logo and the endzone had the classic paint scheme. In Madden it doesn't matter if you do current or classic looks, the field is always gonna be the same no matter what you pick And game play was just as bad: Aaron Rodgers threw a pass to Devontae Adams and the defenders in front of the pass didn't react. They didn't turn to deflect the pass, didn't try to intercept it, they just stayed in their coverage and let the pass go by with no effort to knock it down or stop it
i need the head of the madden team to tell me why is this game still on the frostbite engine. it is absolutely godawful. catches look terrible and don’t work picks are broken tackling sucks it just doesn’t look good or realistic.
4:30 I can actually explain that one. The reason the ball went thru your player is if you look closely before the ball arrives, his hand gets tangled on his teammate, preventing the catch-animation from playing out correctly, as he cant get his hands to together quick enough. Normally in older madden the ball would bounce off the player and will become its own entity. Because that often looks goofy, im sure the devs thought it will look better to just have the ball go past/through your player, to make it look like a miss/bad pass. That will make the game look cleaner on first glance, and let’s be honest most ppl aint gonna check most replays on missed throws. So all of this is basically just a lazy way to make the game look better on first glance. At the end of the day they are trying to satisfy stockholders that don’t care about hitboxes and etc, just about an overall (seemingly) polished game.
Here’s an issue idk if you’ve seen yet: when running man coverage, idk how, but an opposing player will make your outside corners switch assignments and start running across the field to cover a different outside receiver. I had 2 guys do this to me (thankfully I won) but I remember this issue in Madden 21 and now 4 games later the same issue is still here.
Madden isnt the only one with this hitbox issue. NBA 2K also has it in droves. Jokic will go for a block but the ball clips through his hand. Ant goes for a steal, clip. Very annoying
This is the first time in my life I’ve uninstalled a new madden and rated 1 star. It’s so bad it’s actually embarrassing. It’s as if the creators number 1: have never played footbal nor are fans and number 2: never test play the game
7:03 The fields that are used during the off season are the only ones that are used. Any changes after the preseason do not get added to the game as it won't be a hastle to try and keep up is my guess
I’m glad that I haven’t played Madden since 13! I have been playing 09 for the campus legend lore and doing players. But this shows EA has gotten lazy and resting on their laurels coasting every single year
Another issue with these games is when you are the d line and just stand up and glitch in place bc you are not allowed to blow up option plays or PA plays
7:15 As a Nebraska fan, i will also add, the CFB devs were given outdated information by our AD, and when the game launched, the field had striped turf. However, the devs fixed it, and we no longer have striped turf in our stadium in-game. In addition, even with 134 teams, they’ve changed some incorrect numbers and other problems, and while i wish they would’ve done it faster, it’s better late than never. It’s embarrassing that they can do that for CFB, but not for Madden
Retro Bowl got the NFL license for NFL Retro Bowl 25, a Roblox game also got the NFL license recently too. Things seem to be pointing towards the license being opened up again
I feel the same with Ncaa with how u feel about madden 24. Theres still a bunch of bs bugs that piss me off still (entire menu with playclock disappearing while audibling a play) that shouldn't be there for a billion dollar company...but my online dynasty with the homies is so fun, just textin in the group chat "Yo who tf hasnt done there week yet" is funny af
It is also the NFL's fault that we do not get a quality NFL game. They continue to see this trash and do nothing about it. If they extend the license to EA only. Then we know they don't care about the quality of the NFL license in video games.
John madden must be turning in his grave a game that uses his name going from the second best nfl game in the early to mid 2000’s behind NFL 2K to the worst video game on the market

Somebody leave me a reply when they make a madden where players can’t phase through each other’s bodies thank you
8:37 thats actually insane 😭😭 I would be so pissed! Homie im trying to help you with your cause! Im making videos too man lets do this shit together
Curious what you’ve thought of Maximum football so far! Can’t play it as I’m not on pc but I imagine you’ve played quite a bit of it
I'm waiting on better controller support. Can't imagine people wanting to use keyboard and mouse to play a sports game.
I’ve played madden for years and the gameplay has gotten to the point where it is unplayable
the game was out for 1 month and went of a 50% sale that says everything nothing new no customization just spend money in our ultimate team mode that sucks
This is an excellent breakdown of the inconsistencies with gameplay and physics within Madden nowadays. I don’t understand why they do not take the time to work on these fundamental core issues that have plagued the game for many years.
Well, I agree w/almost every point u made, outside of how companies don't "give a chance" to franchises, they have to pay for the privilege. They pay the NFL between like 4-5 BILLION bucks every 4-5 yrs or so, for player likenesses, stadiums 🏟, etc. They don't care how much people complain, bc they make literal BILLIONS. Now if somehow people stopped purchasing it, even for ONE year, you'd literally see the best Madden in a decade or more. Companies don't change up successful formulas, when they can put minimum effort, w/maximum results. They don't even have a SINGLE responsibility, to "make the best possible game", like EVERY other company, they ONLY have a responsibility 2 make as much cash, as possible. 1 of biggest ways to know a game is in bad shape, is when they become publicly traded on the stock market. That means they switch from making the best possible game, over to having a fiscal responsibility, to make as much cash 💸 for their stockholders, as humanly possible
It’s krazy cause people would defend this 9:03
Crazy
Bro I booted up NCAA 25 for the first time in over a month deleted it after one game cuz the blocking mechanics is so dog water
Still thousand times better than madden
EA is just trolling you guys at this point
Man you should start calling out Rodger Goodell EA just doing what they supposed to do Rodger Goodell is the one who can make change happen
Naw ppl just just gotta stop buying and they'll act right real quick 😂.
I only got Madden to play with Derrick, Henry and Lamar Jackson, but the blocking is so bad. I can’t bear to pick up my controller and play. You have nailed it on the head. This game is terrible.
This stuff happens in college to. Especially the blocking. im still having fun and frustration with it
The poor blocking choices is the only issue I have with any consistency. I want to say I’ve been nano blitzed by the AI but can’t say for certain.
yeah he is giving way too much credit to College football. It may not be as bad or as frequent as this mess of a game, but all the same issues still happen a ton.
It seems the latest update has broken catching. My receivers are brick handing wide open passes
still dying to see your College Bowl review, or Legend Bowl with the new DLC.
I think most of us who are fond of late-90s gaming, we witchu young man ✊🏽
I noticed these same problems when I played a quick Madden game:
I did a throw back game with Cowboys vs Jets meaning I put both teams in their throw back uniforms and played at Metlife Stadium. Now when the Jets wore their throwback uniforms they changed the logo in the middle of the field to the classic logo and the endzone had the classic paint scheme. In Madden it doesn't matter if you do current or classic looks, the field is always gonna be the same no matter what you pick
And game play was just as bad: Aaron Rodgers threw a pass to Devontae Adams and the defenders in front of the pass didn't react. They didn't turn to deflect the pass, didn't try to intercept it, they just stayed in their coverage and let the pass go by with no effort to knock it down or stop it
i need the head of the madden team to tell me why is this game still on the frostbite engine. it is absolutely godawful. catches look terrible and don’t work picks are broken tackling sucks it just doesn’t look good or realistic.
I love it when you drop a madden vid
I just bought this game on sale. You are spot on! These are all the issues I see with this game.
4:30 I can actually explain that one.
The reason the ball went thru your player is if you look closely before the ball arrives, his hand gets tangled on his teammate, preventing the catch-animation from playing out correctly, as he cant get his hands to together quick enough. Normally in older madden the ball would bounce off the player and will become its own entity. Because that often looks goofy, im sure the devs thought it will look better to just have the ball go past/through your player, to make it look like a miss/bad pass. That will make the game look cleaner on first glance, and let’s be honest most ppl aint gonna check most replays on missed throws.
So all of this is basically just a lazy way to make the game look better on first glance.
At the end of the day they are trying to satisfy stockholders that don’t care about hitboxes and etc, just about an overall (seemingly) polished game.
It's a good day when soft drink drops
Here’s an issue idk if you’ve seen yet: when running man coverage, idk how, but an opposing player will make your outside corners switch assignments and start running across the field to cover a different outside receiver. I had 2 guys do this to me (thankfully I won) but I remember this issue in Madden 21 and now 4 games later the same issue is still here.
im a die hard mut player. I played for 2 months and never touch it. every year it really gets worst
You're part of the problem lol
Madden is somehow more of a dumpster fire?
Yeah I'll stick to CFB 25, NCAA football 06, Madden 05, and maybe sometimes Madden 16
Madden isnt the only one with this hitbox issue. NBA 2K also has it in droves. Jokic will go for a block but the ball clips through his hand. Ant goes for a steal, clip. Very annoying
This is the first time in my life I’ve uninstalled a new madden and rated 1 star. It’s so bad it’s actually embarrassing. It’s as if the creators number 1: have never played footbal nor are fans and number 2: never test play the game
Ryan Moody told ya so.... Long Live NFL2k5
7:03 The fields that are used during the off season are the only ones that are used.
Any changes after the preseason do not get added to the game as it won't be a hastle to try and keep up is my guess
The monopolistic court system prevents any competition for EA
I’m glad that I haven’t played Madden since 13! I have been playing 09 for the campus legend lore and doing players. But this shows EA has gotten lazy and resting on their laurels coasting every single year
Another issue with these games is when you are the d line and just stand up and glitch in place bc you are not allowed to blow up option plays or PA plays
7:15 As a Nebraska fan, i will also add, the CFB devs were given outdated information by our AD, and when the game launched, the field had striped turf. However, the devs fixed it, and we no longer have striped turf in our stadium in-game. In addition, even with 134 teams, they’ve changed some incorrect numbers and other problems, and while i wish they would’ve done it faster, it’s better late than never. It’s embarrassing that they can do that for CFB, but not for Madden
Rather watch teen Goku, Kid Gohan and Goten go on a monster hunt or play Sparkling Zero than play Madden 25
5:40 I notice this on every single game I play.. I hate it
Retro Bowl got the NFL license for NFL Retro Bowl 25, a Roblox game also got the NFL license recently too. Things seem to be pointing towards the license being opened up again
I feel the same with Ncaa with how u feel about madden 24. Theres still a bunch of bs bugs that piss me off still (entire menu with playclock disappearing while audibling a play) that shouldn't be there for a billion dollar company...but my online dynasty with the homies is so fun, just textin in the group chat "Yo who tf hasnt done there week yet" is funny af
Vikings fan here, and Bradbury blocking the wrong guy is actually pretty accurate lol
It is also the NFL's fault that we do not get a quality NFL game. They continue to see this trash and do nothing about it. If they extend the license to EA only. Then we know they don't care about the quality of the NFL license in video games.
John madden must be turning in his grave a game that uses his name going from the second best nfl game in the early to mid 2000’s behind NFL 2K to the worst video game on the market
TL;DW no idea why the state machines are broken this way and neither do the devs
Other sports game franchises have been able to update during the season and these lazy
a$$holes can’t get one field right is just sad
I’m glad I only got it for 15$ it’s definitely not worth full price.
Thank you for making a video on this. This had to be discussed
