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

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.
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).

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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 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.
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
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.
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
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
I believe there should be no exclusive license NFL2K would not be ultra simulation every year by NFL2K11-14 it would be full predatory and it would be arcade just like madden… a non exclusive deal would be perfect
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
@SpecialGradeHunter3 I unfortunately paid nearly full price for the game. Same arguments people use for Madden are suddenly fine when it comes to the special new kid.
Yes , but difference is it’s the first game back after 11 years .. if they don’t improve then it’ll be a issue , madden has had almost 15 years to fix these issues and never have .. also cfb definitely has its issues , at the end of the day it’s simply more fun to play
Nah I have both cfb has way less issues than madden. Sure they may share some things (frostbite engine) but overall cfb is way smoother and more complete than madden. There is no excuse for typos in situations. There is no logical reason why my player shouldn’t benefit if I go over what I promised him (I got punished to feeding my rb 15 carries when I promised him 10). Cfb doesn’t have any of this. I’d even argue that cfbs gameplay is far superior as it not only is smoother/faster and more enjoyable (makes buggy moments less infuriating), but it seems that for some reason I see more animations that make sense (don’t want to call them physics based) compared to maddens boom tech feature
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.
The flattened ball trajectory on what should be deep bomb lobs drives me crazy. I see Jayden Daniels dropping dimes into buckets in real life and then play Madden and want to smash my controller.
The game is genuinely awful. I cannot even begin to express how bad the gameplay is. I’m not buying another football game until they redo the rights agreement and let a new company try besides EA.
Slants don’t work, receivers get caught on routes and can’t come back to the ball, wide open passes get overthrown all the time, runningbacks get caught on d lineman during screens almost all the time, go routes are almost always under thrown and the db makes the exact same double swat over the shoulder animation, combo blocks by o Lineman resemble that of middle schoolers, and coaching suggestions are god awful and repetitive. Can’t wait til they redo the rights.
Imagine still buying Madden in 2024. The games not getting better, they just keep making money off the fools who continue to waste it on this broken product. 😬😂💀
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.
Dont forget that in superstar mode when your not in but you're still watching the play you're not on the field at all. OLine blocking is still horrible. Defenders still dont know when to go and hit a QB once they start scrambling which results in a lot of tds and first downs. Defenders still mess up their assignments and leave players HELLA OPEN. The game cheats the user by putting a player in your way on purpose just so YOU wont be able to affect the play on defense and make a big play on offense. The QB logic is STILL horrible they continue to waist downs by taking unnecessary sacks or thowing the ball away even when somebody is open. I also made a UA-cam short video that I uploaded on here that shows how bad the physics is in madden. If UA-cam took it down without telling me then Ill just repost it. Oh and for the ppl wondering yes that's a lot of issues and there's PLENTY more I'll say that much 😂. One more thing that bs where they said size matters let me tell you NO IT DOES NOT. I make all my characters 6'3 240 ish because that's my actual size and ppl still be rocking me and taking my hits 😂.
I agree with you on most of this but at 2:54 you just have to know that that’s how the real NFL is sometimes. I can’t deal with shallow CFM, or the players looking and feeling lifeless, but sometimes in the NFL you throw a slant that should be caught, but your receiver either 1.) stops running mid route for some reason 2.) literally has the ball go through his hands 3.) the defender takes it out before the receiver can catch it (because he is playing defense for Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes and it is the playoffs) and the pass is intercepted. I learned that a lot of these seemingly inexplainable glitches happen in the NFL. Madden is a nightmare and I haven’t bought one since madden 16. But I don’t think your first example was a great one. Keep up the crusades though 👍
A quarterback walking backwards through his own lineman is a perfect metaphorical representation of EA's "a step in the right direction" game development philosophy.
All modern Madden games have bugs and glitches. EA obviously doesn't do enough play tests before release. If they do any at all. Since UT is their only focus now. The rest of the game suffers for it.
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

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.
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.
Very often too😂😂
@@LJ777 Gotta be the strangest bug I've seen in a long time 😂
@@SaxABoomEnjoyer if they just did it for tua then maybe it would be alright but for everyone?
@@Corrupptedjackojacks At least they got that right 😂
It’s so funny though so why would anybody complain. 😂
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.
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.
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
im a die hard mut player. I played for 2 months and never touch it. every year it really gets worst
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 😂.
5:40 I notice this on every single game I play.. I hate it
EA is just trolling you guys at this point
I think most of us who are fond of late-90s gaming, we witchu young man ✊🏽
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
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
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
It’s krazy cause people would defend this 9:03
Crazy
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’m glad I only got it for 15$ it’s definitely not worth full price.
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.
The monopolistic court system prevents any competition for EA
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
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.
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
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
I believe there should be no exclusive license NFL2K would not be ultra simulation every year by NFL2K11-14 it would be full predatory and it would be arcade just like madden… a non exclusive deal would be perfect
Somebody leave me a reply when they make a madden where players can’t phase through each other’s bodies thank you
Rather watch teen Goku, Kid Gohan and Goten go on a monster hunt or play Sparkling Zero than play Madden 25
Ah Madden, the traumatic memory that keeps on traumatizing
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
still dying to see your College Bowl review, or Legend Bowl with the new DLC.
So glad I didn’t get it this year 🙏 madden is the worst. Sadly.
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.
Ryan Moody told ya so.... Long Live NFL2k5
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
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
All of these issues are abundant in CFB 25 but it's fine because "it never claimed to be simulation". The double standard is insane.
Looks like someone hasn't played the game.
@SpecialGradeHunter3 I unfortunately paid nearly full price for the game. Same arguments people use for Madden are suddenly fine when it comes to the special new kid.
@@Lagchunk college football 25 is more like that one guy thats never in class but then one day shows up randomly
Yes , but difference is it’s the first game back after 11 years .. if they don’t improve then it’ll be a issue , madden has had almost 15 years to fix these issues and never have .. also cfb definitely has its issues , at the end of the day it’s simply more fun to play
Nah I have both cfb has way less issues than madden. Sure they may share some things (frostbite engine) but overall cfb is way smoother and more complete than madden. There is no excuse for typos in situations. There is no logical reason why my player shouldn’t benefit if I go over what I promised him (I got punished to feeding my rb 15 carries when I promised him 10). Cfb doesn’t have any of this. I’d even argue that cfbs gameplay is far superior as it not only is smoother/faster and more enjoyable (makes buggy moments less infuriating), but it seems that for some reason I see more animations that make sense (don’t want to call them physics based) compared to maddens boom tech feature
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.
Vikings fan here, and Bradbury blocking the wrong guy is actually pretty accurate lol
It seems the latest update has broken catching. My receivers are brick handing wide open passes
The flattened ball trajectory on what should be deep bomb lobs drives me crazy. I see Jayden Daniels dropping dimes into buckets in real life and then play Madden and want to smash my controller.
That boom tech bs SUCKS
The game is genuinely awful. I cannot even begin to express how bad the gameplay is. I’m not buying another football game until they redo the rights agreement and let a new company try besides EA.
Slants don’t work, receivers get caught on routes and can’t come back to the ball, wide open passes get overthrown all the time, runningbacks get caught on d lineman during screens almost all the time, go routes are almost always under thrown and the db makes the exact same double swat over the shoulder animation, combo blocks by o Lineman resemble that of middle schoolers, and coaching suggestions are god awful and repetitive. Can’t wait til they redo the rights.
Imagine still buying Madden in 2024. The games not getting better, they just keep making money off the fools who continue to waste it on this broken product. 😬😂💀
This is the worst madden I ever played
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.
Dont forget that in superstar mode when your not in but you're still watching the play you're not on the field at all. OLine blocking is still horrible. Defenders still dont know when to go and hit a QB once they start scrambling which results in a lot of tds and first downs. Defenders still mess up their assignments and leave players HELLA OPEN. The game cheats the user by putting a player in your way on purpose just so YOU wont be able to affect the play on defense and make a big play on offense. The QB logic is STILL horrible they continue to waist downs by taking unnecessary sacks or thowing the ball away even when somebody is open. I also made a UA-cam short video that I uploaded on here that shows how bad the physics is in madden. If UA-cam took it down without telling me then Ill just repost it. Oh and for the ppl wondering yes that's a lot of issues and there's PLENTY more I'll say that much 😂. One more thing that bs where they said size matters let me tell you NO IT DOES NOT. I make all my characters 6'3 240 ish because that's my actual size and ppl still be rocking me and taking my hits 😂.
I used to wonder why I felt so cheated playing this game. It was incredible to discover videos such as this which outlined the reasons so perfectly
I agree with you on most of this but at 2:54 you just have to know that that’s how the real NFL is sometimes. I can’t deal with shallow CFM, or the players looking and feeling lifeless, but sometimes in the NFL you throw a slant that should be caught, but your receiver either 1.) stops running mid route for some reason 2.) literally has the ball go through his hands 3.) the defender takes it out before the receiver can catch it (because he is playing defense for Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes and it is the playoffs) and the pass is intercepted.
I learned that a lot of these seemingly inexplainable glitches happen in the NFL. Madden is a nightmare and I haven’t bought one since madden 16. But I don’t think your first example was a great one. Keep up the crusades though 👍
Bruh just stop. Phasing through body parts doesn't happen in real life.
A quarterback walking backwards through his own lineman is a perfect metaphorical representation of EA's "a step in the right direction" game development philosophy.
All modern Madden games have bugs and glitches. EA obviously doesn't do enough play tests before release. If they do any at all. Since UT is their only focus now. The rest of the game suffers for it.
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
I love it when you drop a madden vid
I’m sorry to keep spamming, but I genuinely hate this game.
Thank you for making a video on this. This had to be discussed
