Madden games have not been good since the PS2 days. We're on to Next-Gen PS5 games and yet the game play alone on Madden 05 & 06 is far superior to any Madden game EA has made for the PS5. Ever since MUT was created, EA has put their focus on that than improving the quality of the game itself. The ability to play with a low rated 78 overall AFC team, but make them be competitive against an 90 overall team because the game play, the unlimited ability to form a play book, ability to throw WR's open without then losing ground or stride, ability to set up running plays without lead blockers interfering against they're own teammates, & unlimited ways to call & scheme defenses & blitzes without players being out of position made Madden great. When everyone who plays Madden now, runs the same offensive & defensive formations, rolling QB's 20-30 yards backwards or outside the pocket (to the rightside of the field, something thats been done since the old Madden Bus Tournament days) to throw 50-60 yards & defenses give up containment & deep es, because the lack of awareness on the defense. It's obvious EA has lost its way (with MUT) & needs to loose the NFL License & or share with other competition from 2k & other rivalry video game developers to give gamers more options again like it was in the PS2 days...
