Dont trust EA after what they said they would fix the missing club problem in this years tiger woods .When you played the other guy would putt with just the putter handle sound familiar missing players.Even if you hate golf go on EA click on TW and check it out and ask them what they will do if your playing online and half your team is gone. BTW that was back in june its like they left town with our money and said so long suckers

No disrespect or anything...but we hear this every year.

Nothing a good logical coach wouldn't do. Started off innocent enough. Called a few running plays started noticing the cpu wasn't adjusting. Just kept calling it. Game broken.

Put it on All-Madden

unless this is a build from the first week of development it makes matters worse that 3+ months in development the game had not gotten any improvements to its core issues.

at this point the only reason i see to buy madden is if they allow us to add/ customize the game by adding playbooks to teams with the new sharing options etc.

this debate of whether the AI is better is pointless because we all know it is the same as every year. they tweak some run vs pass rations but the same ugliness still prevails AT KEY MOMENTS.

4 verts on 3rd and long
hurry up under 2 minutes to the half( no matter if the cpu has a 3 td lead)
4 verts on 1st down in that hurry up to the half
4 verts from the redzone
timeouts at the same time EVERYTIME
cpu not knowing who its best player is

i am still willing to give this game a shot if EA will help me help them get it right.

1. The entire game feels stale
2. Commentary still sucks
3. NFL 2K5 still blows Madden out of the water in overall presentation (legit pre-game, halftime, post-game shows and wrap-ups, even a week to week ESPN segments) Why EA has never taken advantage of ESPN license I will never understand
4. The audible system is still garbage and they need to adopt NCAA 14 style audible system
5. I should be able to run a hurry-up offense on incomplete passes, this garbage of a game doesn't even allow me that ability

EA, you truly have been a joke this entire generation and I don't expect anything different from you!

My number one reason while I feel EA lacks passion for developing sport games and why they simply don't care about their product.

It's as if they got the license just so that other companies can't use it as effectively as 2k did back in the day.

I'm holding out on buying Madden 25 to see if full version has dissapearing players as well.

I simply can't see how next gen madden will be that much superior after seeing the IGN practice field video...doesn't matter HOW OLD that build is. The foundation is there (which looks terrible) and tinkering etc. can only improve it so much.

I expect to see an incredible amount of fluff in terms of sidelines, crowds and graphics.

I hope I'm wrong...really I do. Been playing since Madden 98.

I wonder if something as simple as assisted tackles will work in next gen Madden. I'm willing to bet money it won't.

So much has been said already to which I repeat, Madden is just stale now. My take is that the only thing different is the doing the read option plays. The "trainer"mode is just things Madden has already done but just broken down into different button formats to make it appear "new." I mean lead passing, Madden 06, Running tips, Madden 09. The game just needs a revamp overall. Presentation and give me the Tecmo Bowl view or something, the REAL view to where the screen pulls back so I can see the whole field.

The game does play smoother, but due to the lack of no fun factor, M25 is not for me. The only way this game sells will be due to football fans itching that itch to play a football videogame and fantasy football heads. The Demo did nothing for fun facto. I will rent from redbox just to see if the connected career has improved the intelligence in reguards to the season's meaning anything as you progress, something simple like your last season being acknowledged.
