Displeasure is voiced louder and more consistent, sooo...

Figured I'd drop in to flip the table on that sentiment one good time. The majority that are actually enjoying the game usually go quiet after a few weeks. Maaaan, the devs pulled the stops out this year, this is a GREAT game of football I must say.

I don't know anything about franchise glitches as I haven't made it that far in (I don't sim each season in search of bugs, I actually PLAY each individual game), but on the field this game is FIRE. When I fire this bad boy up, I have the same exact feeling as 2005 PS2, haven't had that feeling in WELL over a decade.

I'm extremely excited for next years version along with College Football. PLEASE bring back the transferable draft classes (I'll be like calgon take me away!!!).

Once INTs were fixed the game plays amazing. I’m the same in that I only sim here and there. I’ll probably restart with a cloud CFM now that the draft revert seems to be fixed because I’m on season 4 of my offline one and I know it will corrupt at some point. Plus the apps and 3rd party sites add depth and gives me something to look at while I’m pretending to work during the day.

Yeah, the Franchise issues have basically killed the discussion about the on the field gameplay here this year, it is what it is, but although there are of course some lingering legacy gameplay issues that are still present, the User vs CPU gameplay experience for me is absolutely incredible.

IMO a lot are people are too angry to recognize (or even care to look for) what has been done, but they have made quite a few subtle improvements on the AI and animation front during this cycle that have really enhanced the game, IMO.

Yeah once the interception thing was fixed, it was a good game. Now if they add the FIFA 23 movement tech into the college football game and next years Madden, it would be golden. FIFA player movement and 2 player interaction has always been better then Madden. They slowly bring it over, over a couple years, wish they just bring everything over at once.

Agreed 100%.

I've very much been a critique of the game over the years.

I acknowledge that we don't all want the same things out of the game so I have no qualms that anyone has issues with the game when it affects their enjoyment. We all want the same thing.

That said, I haven't enjoyed it this much in a long time. OP said it best. Those that hate it spend their time posting here (nothing wrong with that at all) and those that are enjoying it are generally spending their time playing it.

well, we can take this off the big board for the Madden 24 wishlist

Now that the game breaking interception bug is fixed (lol) the game plays extremely well. I know I’ve been vocal as of recent but I’ve also been sharing in A&S’s slider thread - getting some good games of football whenever I pick the game up. Actually losing on all-pro this year and ENJOYING it!

Agree that Madden 23 has been a great gaming experience for me. Where I understand the displeasure is that this franchise is literally decades from where they should be from a presentation, franchise, and other features standpoint. Case in point no refs on the field, limited selection of team jerseys, field art you can't turn off, end zone designs that are not customizable to go along with the team's update, retooled halftime presentation, an in-depth franchise mode on par with NBA 2K.

When I see the attention to detail by 2K and SDS I can tell these folks are hardcore fans like me and try and capture as much detail as possible. When I see EA drop the ball in these areas year after year it feels like a money grab to get the most profit with minimal internal investment. That issue goes beyond the development engineers in many cases.
