Psychic DBs are one of my biggest gripes with the Madden franchise. I may or may not get it this year because of Cam. Wish they still had Madden on PC.

What? You mean a DB that is running downfield, covering a receiver, with his back to the QB, can't know exactly where the ball is in the air and swat it down by throwing up his arms perfectly in time with the pass?

I'm waiting for June 4th. I'm a offline franchise guy. I want to see what else they did with game-play.

Yeah, this. I want the franchise mode to be worth playing again, a la 2004 or 2005. That's my main sticking point with the series and the ultimate reason why I'll buy or not buy

i don't understand how the new madden games aren't "worth playing" if you only play franchise mode

It's been downhill ever since. With online play, adding features or perfecting features already on the game for non-online play has taken a backseat or actually put on hold.

I remember my draft choices *always* getting boos. That was a great franchise mode.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
