Star's Madden Rating

[Catalyst]

Thought a few people might be interested in this. It's a screenshot from the latest release of Madden Ultimate Team and seems to indicate what Star's Madden 25 rating will be this year:

Pretty solid for a rookie. Our secondary makes it difficult for me to play with the Panthers online. I'm not a big madden player and am not that good but our DBs rankings are pretty terrible and make it tough to ever get a stop through the air.

It's looking like you may get your wish. I know they're not making another NCAA game after this year or next (can't remember which) and the NFL is considering giving its license to other companies.

As odd as it sounds, 2k needs to make a football game again and EA needs to make a baseball game again.

2k baseball is borderline embarrassing and madden's "infinity" engine is bs lol. I tell my buddies all the time, if EA made maddens player engine similar to FIFAs player engine, game would be a ridiculous hit.

Everything is a magnet, but, in this madden, my teammates can tackle me too!

I like star's rating though. Block shedding is my favorite stat for a DT

Agree that 2k needs to make a NFL game again. I miss playing online football.

I can live with the gameplay of the current Madden engine, but my issue now is what they've done to franchise mode. No more NCAA draft classes (only fake EA-made players to draft) and no editing players in career mode, not even to switch positions.

 

For someone like me who likes to run a realistic 'simulation' style franchise, they've really ruined the whole experience.

Sweet.

2k needs to coke back... pleasee

I'm dying for 2K Sports to make another football game (NBA 2K13 was outrageously mindblowing). Madden has been poo for years now.

I have had an awesome idea for a football game for years and really wish I had the money or knew someone to pitch it too.

Need to breakup the EA monopoly. They ruined Sim Racing back when they bought out papyrus who made the beloved NR2003 which consumed most of my free time. Then they went out and put NFL 2k and College Basketball 2k both of which were better than EAs counterpart.

miss the franchise mode, and bringing draft classes from ncaa.

love the stats its a huge upgrade from what our DTs had last year on the game. i would have to move hardy to dt to get any kind of pass rush.

Yeah, Madden's franchise mode is terrible now. Arguably the worst part for me is the omission of the fantasy draft. It was awesome to be able to draft your own team from scratch.

 

Outside of that, I hate how it lacks a lot of other features as well. I hate that I can't save games midway through so I don't have to put aside like 45 minutes just to play a single game. I also wish there was a mini-camp like there used to be, with certain drills that could be run.

 

I dunno why I buy into Madden still. I like the infinity engine though, aside from teammates tripping over each other (which is at least hilarious to watch regardless)

[Argus Plexus]

If you don't like the product...boycott. It really does work.

Sweet.

Was that a Marty Hurney reference?
