So far the reviews I have seen are like every other year. Bad game, sucks that it has an exclusive NFL license. 

 

Has anyone played it? Is it worth getting?

I would say if you don't have a next-gen console don't get it, it's better on next-gen but is still Madden and still has coverage bugs there's supposed to be a patch soon to address. 

We'll see.

I noticed that as well.  Interesting that having Kaepernick in the game is more important than our current coach.

I also dont understand his 81 rating. He rated better than a lot of QB's despite being out of the league for what 4 years? 

For perspective, Newton is only 76

For some reason in franchise mode it was him.  They have some creepy looking fat guy filling in for Rhule elsewhere.  Same guy from last year.  I mean I hate saying it because I love video games and football, but EA really does just copy and past the same old code.

This is what gets me. Even if the gameplay was bad I'd at least appreciate they put effort into the details of rosters to at least give the appearance they don't just reuse the game coding and do a couple minor tweaks every year.

They basically build a game and use the code for 5+ years just to do poorly done roster updates and they do this because they want Ultimate Team to be their cash cow and they know it will still sell. All they have to do is pump $ into marketing to get fans to buy this turd of a game and it works. Hell, I even play last years on Xbox Game Pass because I love football, doesn't mean the game isn't an absolute shell of what it used to be but what other NFL option is there?

NO. 1st game as Panthers said it was a rematch of the SB. With the intro with my players on the field tho.

PS5 took a step back last yr was better and gave me hope, it is gone now.

Players are alot smaller and gameplay is slower with the player movements. To much BS arcade stuff to, like player boost on plays and stuff.

Its PS5($75) and it just fells PS3 players even look worst how do you down grade on that?

Oh but Mahomes hair looks good..lol what a joke.

Last year was a PS4 upgrade I think the used that code just upgraded it. This is the 1st yr as a stand alone PS5. And you can tell..

It’s a terrible terrible game, it’s insane how lazy they are. 

It's really not. This is what monopolies do. When there's zero competition and your shitty product is still selling well, what's the incentive to improve?

Just put a facelift on the same trash and roll it out there with as little investment of money and effort possible. Cash those checks.

1st move in the rebuild is pick up Colin Kaepernick from FA who is rated 81 overall. 

Thats 10 overall better than Darnold. 

Do they have any other players in the game that have not been on a roster in 5 years?  Is Kap going to just be available in the game in perpetuity?

Im not sure, that one just stood out when I looked at the FA pool. The next best FA QB is like 20 overall less then Kaep.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
