Not to hate on the review or game, but it feels like I have seen this line "EA has created some integral building blocks that are necessary to take the game to the next level" for the last 5+ years. When does it actually reach this point? We will probably be on to the PS5 and the next edition of XBOX in 2 years and the building blocks will re-appear for the first few years of that gen also.

It's not political to say that Hank Williams Jr. is not a great man. It's political to say he's a great man. The article opens with an irrelevant contrivance that Hank Williams Jr. is a great man. That is the political statement. Even If Hank Williams Jr. were only known as a two-bit gimmick musician it'd be weird to call him a great man. But, he's not known only as a two-bit gimmick musician, he's also known for making controversial remarks that got him fired from Monday Night Football.

Opening an article with "a great man once said..." is lousy writing to begin with. Editors should avoid cliches. "A great man once said..." is a cliche, it's something you see opening an 8th grade history paper.

But stating that Hank Williams Jr. is a great man, to open a review of Madden, is a political statement. Just... rewrite the lousy opening to this and nobody will respond to it. Then you can safely delete every comment that is responding to this political statement. Here, I'll rewrite it for you,

"Hank Williams Jr. once asked, 'Are you ready for some Football?'"

Boom, no politics. He factually said that, in song form, every Monday night for ~20 years.

I agree on everything except Longshot only because I have not played it yet, so I really have no position to agree or oppose.

The gameplay is really improved. As mentioned in the article, defenders are making plays, or at least "attempting" to makes plays. These animations go a long way in improving immersion.
