Best game review ever. No, really. This was the most informative, entertaining, ridiculously long game rant I've ever seen and I don't think anyone will be topping this ish for years to come.
My friends still plays these games and I stopped playing because it went downhill. You know I hate when Madden when my football buddies from high school got on me for playing Mortal Kombat and Uncharted 3 in locker room
Wtf. I've literally been subbed to you since u made battlefront videos and I get 0 notifications from ur channels nowadays. Yes I have the bell on. What the fuck youtube
As a lifetime Lions fan, I can explain the issue brought up at 6:47. He was playing with Detroit- if there's a way to win by 5 points but still take an L, the lions would do it, so this is fairly realistic.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is that fifa 22 only has a create team mode because fifa 21 sales were down 46% (physical). Everyone just waited until black Friday/ It took just one small shock to the system for EA to add in new modes take notes Madden fans.
FIFA also already had a create a club mode a which they got rid of in FIFA 12 ish, so they just re added things that they already had previously done but got rid of for no reason.
Fifa gets a lot of deserved hate. But Fifa actually does change stuff from year to year (They also remove stuff only to add it 5 years later as a new innovation). For example they improved the career mode from 20 to 21. It's nowhere near close being worth 60 bucks, but I'd say it is worth about 15-20.
I bought Fifa 21, after skipping 18, 19 and 20, and it STILL felt lackluster and barely updated. They literally just changed the gameplay a little bit. Now, the collisions are absolutely awful! And the animations! The difficulty adjustment is a joke! Online is unfair as shit. Despite this, I still love playing player career mode for some reason, I don't know why, maybe because I'm a fucking imbecile. So I've been playing player career for half a year now, after I picked the game up for a discount price, and I can only say that it's an indication of the disregard with which EA treats its customers. I cannot believe HOW you can release the same game every single year for 5+ years and NOT improve anything substantial. How is that even possible. How. I'm skipping the next 3 games. P.S. I modded the game to play as a female and immitate tiki taka. I don't think I would be able to keep playing the game otherwise. But it's, still, essentialy three things: Play matches, autotrain, skip till the next match. Repeat. There is no immersion, no roleplaying, no nothing, it's baffling. P.P.S. Oh, did I mention that Fifa 21 for PC (which is the version I have) is a "legacy edition"? Looks like 22 will be one as well. Bull. Shit.
As a player who plays FIFA career, this is what I want to see. #1 Coaching transfers. how the fact we still dont have that. Coaches who could transfer from team to team, being fired, having their favorite tactics and player nationalities. 2# Other leagues being simmed the same way your league is simmed, with fatigue, injuries, stats, etc. 3# dynamic player progression. Now every single player always reaches his potential ceiling, there is no mystery in the game, and future players are OP as hell, in my game right now, Joel Felix is 96 overall, which is already higher than Messi ever was. What if promising player gets on the wrong team, rots on the bench for few years? We need more unpredictability with player potentials and progression. 4# Player stats being saved from previous seasons, team/player awards being saved for pure historian sake. Its sad that we dont even have that, but here we are. Now when I play, I keep a freaking word document who won when, because I want to be immersed in my Soccer world... 5# Why my career ends after 15 years? Oh right, because I would end my run within a year and not be immersed in the game anymore and by a next year one? Fuck you EA. But we dont even have a league injury table and we cant even set potential on self created players, so I know I pipe dreaming with these features. Like I want to create some Lithuanian players in the game, but if I do, their potential is always 99, which is stupid, my players freaking suck, they are Lithuanian for fuck sake, I dont want to see them become next Messi, that basically takes out player creation to begin with to me. Stupid EA. Its crazy how far ahead NBA 2Ks manager mode equivalent is, and dont get me wrong, NBA 2k kinda sucks too, but its more because of gameplay, features itself are great.
Fascinating to see the housing editor script run at the same time as the Game simulation script. These guys have ZERO game development experience. Its like seeing a monkey perform open heart surgery.
Every time I rewatch this video, I always struggle to figure out the house in the football field glitch. Like...how- how- how does that even BEGIN to happen!? How did that even manifest!? Why is there data of a house being loaded in, and how is it getting in the football field!? What chain of disasters led to this glitch coming to exist!? I love it so much its just, why!?
Someone should run a code analyser along with the game to find where in the game code does it put the house in the middle of the field and after that, make new code to get ride of the glitch.
Yeah still don't get how or why the house model spawn in the middle of the field. It seem to have no collision since the players can run through so it's one of many things but I will give the 2 that I think it is. 1 it's a background asset or it's a unuse model that is still in the game files for unknow reasons.
@@fredrickrougerson3928 I mean they do same with fifa ..I mean they have competitors Well not anymore since Konomi exited pes but They still have monopoly on Majority of licenses and had for years ...So yea. Yet gameplay suck and I played fifa since sega genesis So I know
Watching this about 5 months late, but thank god you included Ryan Moody in this. A collaboration between the two of you ripping Madden and EA would likely make them explode
I like that, even someone who doesn’t give a fuck about sports games, I was able to empathize with Madden fans due to Joes passion and informative teaching.
I have a friend who buys sports games, granted he isn't dumb and can tell when a game isn't worth it but thanks to joe he actually gives a good review and doesin't sell out. With this said I can properly show my friend which sports games are worth his time and money. Thank you Joe your doing a fantastic job and putting EA in there place
You should have him play some of the older Maddens (the PS2/GCN/Xbox era ones especially) and then compare them to the latest Madden games so he can see for himself how much Madden has gone down the trash can. And if possible, show him NFL 2K5.
@Keith Nowak same for me but with fifa, was at a time that I could’ve gone pro, but the repetitiveness of these games made me angry and a worse player at the same time, don’t enjoy these games anymore
@ScrapComputer The problem is both the game and the people, EA has exclusive rights to the NFL license, which basically means, all the people who love football/sports games have literally no choice because this is the only NFL football game. The people are also the problem, because of what you said. At this point, pretty much the entire madden fan base has just accepted that the new game is gonna be awful no matter what, but because there is no other football game other than Madden, they feel they have no choice but to try it and inevitably complain about it, in hopes that someday, something will change, which honestly, when it comes to a company as greedy as EA, the only thing left to do is not buy the game, but that also won't work because there are still enough idiotic morons who buy the game and then buy shitloads of ultimate team card packs, to generate EA another billion dollars every year
Agreed. I fucking hate the Madden series because it has literally been the same ever since EA took over the rights from 2K. Sure a little improvements here and there but damn it sucks having too play this bs
54:52 maybe the best point you've ever made. You're so right about the way these streamers that have fans pay to watch them open packs is addictive to children, and now pretty much every game does this.
What's worse is that EA gives free copies of the game to people who spend a lot of money on the packs, they designate these people as "whales" and no I'm not making this up.
Eh COD, BF, gears of war have all gone away from loot boxes. As far as i know the only people doing loot boxes still is EA (im sure theres others, maybe overwatch)
Bruh when he said "houses in the middle of the football field" I honestly didn't think he was being serious. I saw the house and my jaw just dropped. This is just crazy
As someone who has no interest in football, I would absolutely watch football if these bugs and glitches were implemented in real football. Like giving bad calls on purpose and making the players accept it. You could call that one Gaslight Football.
Madden and Madden fans in a nutshell: Imagine you're a huge fan of chocolate. You've had one box of chocolates shipped to your house per year, for almost 20 years. In the past five years, you noticed they started sending you dog poop instead of chocolate, but you've kept eating it anyway because it still says "chocolate" on the box. And every year, you keep biting into the new dog poop, thinking "well maybe this time it'll actually be chocolate." There comes a time when one must realize that they've fallen into a scam. It's GOING to be dog poop every year. People should do what humans were designed to do, notice the pattern, and change. Madden fans are the type of people who stub their toe on the same chair every day because they haven't learned that they're capable of walking around it.
Sadly I think as long as the snake owns the garden nothing will ever be solved the wheel keeps spinning and this time next year nearly everything Joe said in this video Will be Echoed by someone else
But you forgot to say that, the company making dog poop chocolate company is the only company allowed to make chocolate at all, it's not like they have a choice
@@IgKravenchenko they do. Just don’t play the game. Imagine being so addicted to something so garbage you can’t drop it for a year or two. That’s the sad part. “No one else can make an nfl game, so I’ll just suck it up and play it every year” no, that’s dumb as hell
yup. I never played Madden back when you had NFL2K. Was just a better game. Once they went under the last decent Madden game was the one Vick was on the cover (05 I think?). It has been straight garbage since then. I was 25 then. I am 42 now. The game has been shit for basically half my life, and annually just gets worse.
It’s the only pro football game. I stopped buying Madden years ago but of course football fans are gonna buy it because it’s the only one out there. EA deserves 1000% of the blame
@@Fragenzeichenplatte On the contrary, they have 0 reason to change course of development if fucks continuously buying it and wasting fucking thousands into MUT bullshit packs

Are sport fan that dumb oh wait one of them buys a expensive Jordon shit that old and used how disgusting also creepy as hell what some other guy sock oh nevermind
I saw my friend on Facebook post a live showing him playing, and trash talking his friends that he’s the best. I honestly think they just don’t realize it’s the same game every year, they just want to compete with their friends, and FOMO kicks in when they see their buddies on the latest one.
This exactly. No more sympathy for suckers facilitating a bad company in a bad industry. Oh, extra points for paying $70(!!!!!) for a piece of trash clone game with microtransactions.
It always comes down to one simple truth: AJ's biggest enemy isn't company greed, it isn't poorly made games and outrageous disappointment. It isn't TH-cam's horrific monetization and it isn't anything simple enough to call out and be done for the day. AJ's biggest enemy is the player that lays down and accepts all of these issues as the norm. The kind of player that does gamble with lootboxes, the player that doesn't care about the quality of a product. The same player that buys Madden every year with no second thought. AJ can call out a company for its bs as much as possible but it comes down to the player to decide where they spend their money. Are you that player? If so, listen to AJ, he is looking out for all of us. Don't be part of the problem. Always push companies to make a product out worthy of your money. You deserve better and so does your wallet.

I think my intrigue about these videos is that it doesn’t matter what game ganre it is, things like exploitation, laziness, lying, taking advantage of the ignorant, cash cow type companies are all to be held accountable. EA has been one of the primary examples of exploitation trash. Edit: grammar fix
Great Review Joe.... but the problem is you guys BUYING the game every year.... How do we fix this!?!? STOP BUYING MADDEN!!!!!!!!! It's been the same game for about 10 years... and they're not gonna do anything cause they makes millions every year without making improvements. Check out our Channel for EPIC Random Recipes! 🍔
Joe should really make his next Madden review using only recycled footage from his other Madden reviews. I guarantee it will still be an honest and accurate review, and still higher quality than anything EA gives us.
I don't even play NFL and I thoroughly enjoy watching this; partly because I've thought the same of the gaming industry as a whole since about 2007. Ohhh and to heck with agile development, it doesn't work, mainly because it relies on human honesty, which is the first to go with overworked developers and money. Nice cat tho! More cat cameos please!
As a brit who has had this issue with fifa for years and years, I feel the frustration. They have been taking out all the good things in fifa and replacing them with bullshit for far too long that sony have given fifa 22 out for free because the customer has had enough and its not selling anymore.
"Hey Mr. NFL chairman, how do you feel about Madden being so terrible?" "Well it sells really well, so as long as it continues to make the NFL money, I don't care!"
"We have a really good relationship with EA. They enjoy cruelly exploiting NFL fans for money and we enjoy cruelly exploiting NFL fans for money. We have so much in common."
I haven't bought Madden in 10 years and until most everyone does the same we will always get the horrible game slightly revamped for higher price. It's truly sad how monopolies work. It should be illegal for EAsport to do this. But they keep making a buttload of money and I don't see any hope. He is right to be angry. We all should be.
Ngl, I'm not interested in sports games whatsoever, yet this still upsets me for one important reason. If publishers continue to get away with this crap in sports games, they will forever continue to shove this crap onto other franchises and genres. EA needs to die already.
@@Lobsterwithinternet PARENTS buy the game for their little kids who don't understand that this game is crap. Look at where the money comes from, it comes from MUT. who spends the most money on that useless game mode? Little children with access to their parents credit cards.

@@rezr5448 I can explain why I do, but yes I agree it could and should just be an update. So for me I'm an avid sports fan first and a sports game fan second. This means its important to me to have all the latent rosters, incoming rookies, potentially new stadiums or uniforms, updated super bowl presentation and so on. Sadly the Madden and EA sports games as a whole have gotten lazier with this over the past 10ish years as they focused more on ultimate team nonsense. $60 is a lot for the things I want, but I can easily put a few hundred hours into a Madden game on a yearly basis and have bought them since around 1994. This is the FIRST Madden game I have not and will not buy. That's how bad it has gotten.
Its really sad to see how game studios and gaming in general has deteriorated so much, games back then used to have sooo much attention to detail and modes, it's crazy how some of those are reintroduced as "brand new".... Sad times we live in!!!
I personally blame it once online gaming became a thing. Before online gaming, Game companies had no choice but to put effort and detail into their games And try to make it completely polished as best as they can. Because there were no patches or DLC updates to fix it once it was released. But now these gaming companies have gotten very lazy and sell you a half baked video game at 70 dollars that heavily rely on patches updates to function correctly at a later date
I blame valve, they opened the gates of hell by introducing lootboxes and demonstrating their absurd ability to generate revenue. Now all games appeal to whales that spend thousands on a single game to get the best players and get easy wins - only to start all over next year. As Bane says - Victory has defeated *you,* EA
To be fair you shouldn't compare gaming in general to sports titles that have a 9 month development cycle. Take Rockstar for example. They created RDR2 on an 8 year development cycle. They spent 280 million in development. That is a little more than 1/4th the income EA makes from Ultimate Team across all of its sports titles in a single year.
They are just selling games on brand alone now. They know people will buy it. Why put the effort in at this point...EA is the worst game developer of all time... along with Bethesda
If you search, there really are channels dedicated to open packs and bragging about spending hundreds to thousands. These unethical whales trying to hook kids on gambling. Some people don't forget, they encourage.

That’s because people still fall for trailers. I remember when that game anthem was coming out people were drooling over the trailers when all of it was clearly not the game itself and more like a cgi movie created with super computers and not an actual game console that will be used by people playing
I've kind of just realized that messing up a sports game is especially embarrassing. It makes sense in a big AAA shooter to have some buggy parts of the map since it may have hundreds of square miles to playtest, or to have some gameplay aspects to cause bugs because particular player input or tactic was not predicted by dev team. However in a sports game the gameplay loop and play-field is fixed. There is no room for unexpected player behavior, or unexpected clipping errors between the models and terrain geometry. There's no way to overlook bugs during the QA testing.
The Cowboys murdered the Ravens and buried them beneath the field, but their hearts beat so loud they forced the team to confess before an entire preseason audience.
I’ll always love how Joe just gets really pissed off and starts yelling and everyone else is just sitting around uncomfortably like Joe might just break something.

Moment of silence for this masterpiece
AJ’s Madden 23 review/rant will top this one lmao
Guess you haven't watched ign's doom 2016 review, that one is hilarious.
@@vileicon474 Thanks for the recommendation, just watched it, and laughed my ass out the whole way through it.
This is why I skip Madden every 6-8 years. I played Madden 22 back in 2010 with less glitches.
At this rate, you’re better off just skipping new releases altogether
Pretty much every sports game
My friends still plays these games and I stopped playing because it went downhill. You know I hate when Madden when my football buddies from high school got on me for playing Mortal Kombat and Uncharted 3 in locker room
Lol you got me when you said that you played madden 22 at 2010.
Wtf. I've literally been subbed to you since u made battlefront videos and I get 0 notifications from ur channels nowadays. Yes I have the bell on. What the fuck youtube
As a lifetime Lions fan, I can explain the issue brought up at 6:47. He was playing with Detroit- if there's a way to win by 5 points but still take an L, the lions would do it, so this is fairly realistic.
Atleast they play hard
Definitely I actually used to be a lions fan too
One thing that wasn't mentioned is that fifa 22 only has a create team mode because fifa 21 sales were down 46% (physical). Everyone just waited until black Friday/ It took just one small shock to the system for EA to add in new modes take notes Madden fans.
They wont because madden fans are some of the most oblivious there are
That actually once was in madden but the nfl made them remove it several years ago
Fifa is also sh**
FIFA also already had a create a club mode a which they got rid of in FIFA 12 ish, so they just re added things that they already had previously done but got rid of for no reason.
Fifa gets a lot of deserved hate. But Fifa actually does change stuff from year to year (They also remove stuff only to add it 5 years later as a new innovation). For example they improved the career mode from 20 to 21.
It's nowhere near close being worth 60 bucks, but I'd say it is worth about 15-20.
Ultimate team also destroyed FIFA. Career mode has been the same for a decade.
I bought Fifa 21, after skipping 18, 19 and 20, and it STILL felt lackluster and barely updated. They literally just changed the gameplay a little bit. Now, the collisions are absolutely awful! And the animations! The difficulty adjustment is a joke! Online is unfair as shit. Despite this, I still love playing player career mode for some reason, I don't know why, maybe because I'm a fucking imbecile. So I've been playing player career for half a year now, after I picked the game up for a discount price, and I can only say that it's an indication of the disregard with which EA treats its customers. I cannot believe HOW you can release the same game every single year for 5+ years and NOT improve anything substantial. How is that even possible. How. I'm skipping the next 3 games.
P.S. I modded the game to play as a female and immitate tiki taka. I don't think I would be able to keep playing the game otherwise. But it's, still, essentialy three things: Play matches, autotrain, skip till the next match. Repeat. There is no immersion, no roleplaying, no nothing, it's baffling.
P.P.S. Oh, did I mention that Fifa 21 for PC (which is the version I have) is a "legacy edition"? Looks like 22 will be one as well. Bull. Shit.
Not bought fifa since 18 and i haven't missed it one bit.
Just a reskin that focused on ultimate team
FUT is priority, CM or something offline from FIFA is trash in EA geniuses eyes
Honestly I tried fifa this year thanks to gamepass and I can tell for sure fifa 16 was a lot better xD
As a player who plays FIFA career, this is what I want to see.
#1 Coaching transfers. how the fact we still dont have that. Coaches who could transfer from team to team, being fired, having their favorite tactics and player nationalities.
2# Other leagues being simmed the same way your league is simmed, with fatigue, injuries, stats, etc.
3# dynamic player progression. Now every single player always reaches his potential ceiling, there is no mystery in the game, and future players are OP as hell, in my game right now, Joel Felix is 96 overall, which is already higher than Messi ever was. What if promising player gets on the wrong team, rots on the bench for few years? We need more unpredictability with player potentials and progression.
4# Player stats being saved from previous seasons, team/player awards being saved for pure historian sake. Its sad that we dont even have that, but here we are. Now when I play, I keep a freaking word document who won when, because I want to be immersed in my Soccer world...
5# Why my career ends after 15 years? Oh right, because I would end my run within a year and not be immersed in the game anymore and by a next year one? Fuck you EA.
But we dont even have a league injury table and we cant even set potential on self created players, so I know I pipe dreaming with these features. Like I want to create some Lithuanian players in the game, but if I do, their potential is always 99, which is stupid, my players freaking suck, they are Lithuanian for fuck sake, I dont want to see them become next Messi, that basically takes out player creation to begin with to me. Stupid EA. Its crazy how far ahead NBA 2Ks manager mode equivalent is, and dont get me wrong, NBA 2k kinda sucks too, but its more because of gameplay, features itself are great.
I don’t even like football, I just love hearing Joe rage bout madden lmao
Same here
Amen. I never bought a football game ever, but I did like playing them with friends. Tecmo Bowl was awesome.
Same only time I play was with my cousin
Count yourself lucky I love football and this is the only option we have feels bad man
yeah not remotely a sports fan at all but hearing Joe rage about this is pure gold.
1:22 to 1:30
The "disappointed dad" look was so on point that I started crying a little. Jesus.
Who else celebrates AJ's angry Madden rants as an annual holiday?
Because it's angry joe culture at this point
A new year, a new disgusting madden
@@CoffeeSuccubus agree 👍
Yep. Haven’t bought one of these since 2008 but I very much enjoy these.
Yes.
I've bookmarked this review as "Maddening of the Madden".
8:05 Angry Joe: "Houses in the middle of the effing football field."
EA: "We call them surprise mechanics."
Surprise Real Estate.
You can pay $4.99 to tear down those houses.
@@GameChronicles No, you can pay $4.99 to buy assets for your fake house.
Maybe the houses were suppose to show players homes if they get injured for a week? That’s just my guess
@@Myth_or_Mystery76 In a nutshell.
I lost it when the random house was just sitting there in the middle of the field 😂
Fascinating to see the housing editor script run at the same time as the Game simulation script. These guys have ZERO game development experience. Its like seeing a monkey perform open heart surgery.
learn fifa is better.
Why is there even a house in the game? What is the purpose of a HOUSE in a FOOTBALL game? This isn't the fucking Sims man.
I saw the house and I just heard the Inception horn-blare.
I'm actually super confused as to how that even happens. Like why is there a fully built house in the game files to begin with? what?
Every time I rewatch this video, I always struggle to figure out the house in the football field glitch. Like...how- how- how does that even BEGIN to happen!? How did that even manifest!? Why is there data of a house being loaded in, and how is it getting in the football field!? What chain of disasters led to this glitch coming to exist!? I love it so much its just, why!?
I wonder about this too sometimes 😂😂
Someone should run a code analyser along with the game to find where in the game code does it put the house in the middle of the field and after that, make new code to get ride of the glitch.
It's stock assets but somehow the game engine pulled them up
Yeah still don't get how or why the house model spawn in the middle of the field. It seem to have no collision since the players can run through so it's one of many things but I will give the 2 that I think it is. 1 it's a background asset or it's a unuse model that is still in the game files for unknow reasons.
8:05
A house can just appear on the field.
That is the greatest thing I have ever seen in a football game.
So this is the halftime show they were talking about 👀
It's so realistic!
new mode... in your house mode
Everyone dreams of having a nice house :P
NFL In Your House 2021.
I had no idea that WWE actually sold that particular PPV brand to EA & NFL🤔
Madden is just historical for this channel
I think you misspelled hysterical LOL
Maddeningly just Maddening.
I hate that everyone's like, "This or that was a major embarrassment for them." No it wasn't, they're not embarrassed, they don't give a fuck.
Monopoly on a video game man wtf
This is what we call HARD FACTS
16 years too long imo

You're right, of course. But drumming up second-hand embarrassment is cathartic and enough of it can damage business models (i.e. force change)
Watching this about 5 months late, but thank god you included Ryan Moody in this. A collaboration between the two of you ripping Madden and EA would likely make them explode
Joe's yearly Madden rant is the best part about this game now.
Facts lol
I look forward to it every year 🤣
It's been the best part for a long time now.
@Matt Joseph Nothing against Ryan, but nothing matches the rage coming from my boy Joe.
Only reason I come to watch this channel
I’m here for the RAGE 😤
It’s a tradition like no Other
We're all here for the rage

We all are 🤗🍿
I'm here for Joe's Universe pattern pants....
1:21 Joe not saying anything is scarier then his scream
Gotta be honest I think you're right
He’s got the disappointed Dad look down pat XD
Disappointed Dad vibe...
You know he’s REALLY mad when he doesn’t say “you don f@#$&* it up!!” On a horrible game.
The distant bird chirping only adds to it.
joe has been fighting madden at the gates of hell for 20 years
"Fuck You. Give Me Money 💰" should be EA's new slogan. It's honest and to the point
E.A Sports: F*** You, GIVE ME MONEY
@@hewhobattles8869 and they have 0 talent and really don't have a single care to make a quality game.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People may not realize just how lucky we are to have people like Joe and his team STILL fighting the good fight after all these years. Thanks guys 💪🏼
And yet they only get worse each year. Yes, we are truly blessed…

@@riccogee Not his fault.
Maybe they are fighting the good fight, but the content creators are the ones who are also giving ea the most money
@@zachrobinson6801 he spent at least $70
I don't care much for the sport but even as an outsider, this is a comprehensive take on how shit the current state of Madden is
I like that, even someone who doesn’t give a fuck about sports games, I was able to empathize with Madden fans due to Joes passion and informative teaching.
dude fifa is same shit... aka same shit year to year and all for unfair gambaling UT
NFL Blitz 1997 is more fun than any Madden games since 2007.
Not just Madden. EA overall.
@@Domindi Exactly
I have a friend who buys sports games, granted he isn't dumb and can tell when a game isn't worth it but thanks to joe he actually gives a good review and doesin't sell out. With this said I can properly show my friend which sports games are worth his time and money.
Thank you Joe your doing a fantastic job and putting EA in there place
You should have him play some of the older Maddens (the PS2/GCN/Xbox era ones especially) and then compare them to the latest Madden games so he can see for himself how much Madden has gone down the trash can.
And if possible, show him NFL 2K5.
Straight up, don't buy it if you don't want to be treated to a yearly scam.
people won't lisein there will aways be people who buy this stuff.
@Keith Nowak same for me but with fifa, was at a time that I could’ve gone pro, but the repetitiveness of these games made me angry and a worse player at the same time, don’t enjoy these games anymore
@ScrapComputer The problem is both the game and the people, EA has exclusive rights to the NFL license, which basically means, all the people who love football/sports games have literally no choice because this is the only NFL football game. The people are also the problem, because of what you said. At this point, pretty much the entire madden fan base has just accepted that the new game is gonna be awful no matter what, but because there is no other football game other than Madden, they feel they have no choice but to try it and inevitably complain about it, in hopes that someday, something will change, which honestly, when it comes to a company as greedy as EA, the only thing left to do is not buy the game, but that also won't work because there are still enough idiotic morons who buy the game and then buy shitloads of ultimate team card packs, to generate EA another billion dollars every year
Agreed. I fucking hate the Madden series because it has literally been the same ever since EA took over the rights from 2K. Sure a little improvements here and there but damn it sucks having too play this bs
@@coreyhaynes8673 I just found out my 15 year old brother spent 200 dollars on this game after getting good grades. Their is no hope.
54:52 maybe the best point you've ever made. You're so right about the way these streamers that have fans pay to watch them open packs is addictive to children, and now pretty much every game does this.
Such a true statement. Can't even get the gov to ban micros and the kids are just watching addiction go straight into their veins.
What's worse is that EA gives free copies of the game to people who spend a lot of money on the packs, they designate these people as "whales" and no I'm not making this up.
Eh COD, BF, gears of war have all gone away from loot boxes. As far as i know the only people doing loot boxes still is EA (im sure theres others, maybe overwatch)
Bruh when he said "houses in the middle of the football field" I honestly didn't think he was being serious. I saw the house and my jaw just dropped. This is just crazy
I thought he was talking figuratively. I did not think he meant a literal fucking house.
I’m so hype for this what lmao
A lot of this review made my jaw drop. Idk if I will ever be able to play a football video game ever again in my life now
@@suicidalfetusx I don't even play sports much less even care for them, and too many moments from this review was just batshit insane.
Same, I thought it was figure of speech for something else.
It was literally a Sims house...
As someone who has no interest in football, I would absolutely watch football if these bugs and glitches were implemented in real football. Like giving bad calls on purpose and making the players accept it. You could call that one Gaslight Football.
At the length these rant/reviews are getting each year, (fingers crossed) eventually we might get a review that’s FOOOUUUR HOURRRRRS!!!!
As long as it doesn't charge tens of dollars for blue...
That’s a review that’ll be 4 weeks in the making because Joe will loose his voice about 13 times
EA endorses this message. We charge 1$ per hour. Thanks for watching peasants!
IZZAT FUGGIN BLU?
FoOooOoOOoOouUR HouRRRRRRRRRS!?
Madden and Madden fans in a nutshell: Imagine you're a huge fan of chocolate. You've had one box of chocolates shipped to your house per year, for almost 20 years. In the past five years, you noticed they started sending you dog poop instead of chocolate, but you've kept eating it anyway because it still says "chocolate" on the box. And every year, you keep biting into the new dog poop, thinking "well maybe this time it'll actually be chocolate."
There comes a time when one must realize that they've fallen into a scam. It's GOING to be dog poop every year. People should do what humans were designed to do, notice the pattern, and change.
Madden fans are the type of people who stub their toe on the same chair every day because they haven't learned that they're capable of walking around it.
Sadly I think as long as the snake owns the garden nothing will ever be solved the wheel keeps spinning and this time next year nearly everything Joe said in this video Will be Echoed by someone else
Then add on those who are or have gotten addicted to gambling on Ultimate Team.
But you forgot to say that, the company making dog poop chocolate company is the only company allowed to make chocolate at all, it's not like they have a choice
@@IgKravenchenko they do. Just don’t play the game. Imagine being so addicted to something so garbage you can’t drop it for a year or two. That’s the sad part. “No one else can make an nfl game, so I’ll just suck it up and play it every year” no, that’s dumb as hell
@@BigBoss-sh2jx It's even more sad, because they can just play the older, better game if they are that desperate.
Can we just appreciate the fact that after all these years Joe still makes these videos in the same exact jacket and Superman shirt? That’s dope.
And the Jacket also doesn't look like it's over 100 years old now!
And OJ and him have been friends this long
If you listen carefully you can hear the leather stretch
How has not gone hulk mode thru that jacket.
Holy shit I never realized that
I don’t blame EA at all. I blame everyone who keeps buying these games especially FIFA
29:45
yup. I never played Madden back when you had NFL2K. Was just a better game. Once they went under the last decent Madden game was the one Vick was on the cover (05 I think?). It has been straight garbage since then. I was 25 then. I am 42 now. The game has been shit for basically half my life, and annually just gets worse.
How can you not blame EA at all? They are the developers! They most certainly share the blame because THEY decide how to develop.
It’s the only pro football game. I stopped buying Madden years ago but of course football fans are gonna buy it because it’s the only one out there. EA deserves 1000% of the blame
@@Fragenzeichenplatte On the contrary, they have 0 reason to change course of development if fucks continuously buying it and wasting fucking thousands into MUT bullshit packs
The fans in 2019 complained, and EA be like “heh. You still bought it, bro!”
The fans in 2020 complained, and EA be like “heh. You still bought it, bro!”
The fans in 2021 complained, and EA be like “heh. You still bought it, bro!”
I wonder what EA will do to respond to the complaining in 2022.
I might be wrong, but there is a very, very slight possibility that they'll say, "heh. You still bought it bro!"
This is a great example where the victim is practically "asking for it"
Tbh they're right, if you're dumb enough to buy it you get what you deserve
I'm not even a big Madden fan but haven't fans been complaining consistently since like 2009?
We saw how that turned out with Battlefield V
Everybody who buys this game deserves the blame. EA/the NFL won’t care until it hits their pockets.
To many MUT idiots throwing hundreds or thousands at EA
Are sport fan that dumb oh wait one of them buys a expensive Jordon shit that old and used how disgusting also creepy as hell what some other guy sock oh nevermind
I think the NFL is actually pretty happy with Madden, they don't understand/care about any of those problems.
bingo
Hate when people say this there are too many whales that EA sells to every year for them to give a s*** about our 60 or $70 to matter at all.
Joe: "It is an insult to it's customer base"
Me: "Honestly, if you keep buying this series you deserve to be insulted"
That’s exactly what I always think also. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 20 times shame on me.
It is literally his job to review these games
Do they even see it as bullshit? I feel like Madden players have Stockholm syndrome at this point
I saw my friend on Facebook post a live showing him playing, and trash talking his friends that he’s the best. I honestly think they just don’t realize it’s the same game every year, they just want to compete with their friends, and FOMO kicks in when they see their buddies on the latest one.
This exactly.
No more sympathy for suckers facilitating a bad company in a bad industry.
Oh, extra points for paying $70(!!!!!) for a piece of trash clone game with microtransactions.
It always comes down to one simple truth: AJ's biggest enemy isn't company greed, it isn't poorly made games and outrageous disappointment. It isn't TH-cam's horrific monetization and it isn't anything simple enough to call out and be done for the day. AJ's biggest enemy is the player that lays down and accepts all of these issues as the norm. The kind of player that does gamble with lootboxes, the player that doesn't care about the quality of a product. The same player that buys Madden every year with no second thought. AJ can call out a company for its bs as much as possible but it comes down to the player to decide where they spend their money. Are you that player? If so, listen to AJ, he is looking out for all of us. Don't be part of the problem. Always push companies to make a product out worthy of your money. You deserve better and so does your wallet.
Hope everyone knows that if EA does make a college football game it’s gonna be exactly like madden.
Fair Bet it has assets left over from whatever Madden they asset strip to make it.
🙄 forgot about that as much as I want college ball back I won't be buying it if EA makes it 😷😷
EA is trying to come out with MVP baseball again also
That's why I still have my Xbox 360 and my NCAA football 2014 game
Same with 2k they ruined nba.
You know Joe's mad, when he doesn't include a skit at the beginning of the review 😂😂
The game is so bad that it's not even worth a "YOU'VE DONE FUCKED IT UP!!!"
he too mad to me doing that
Yeah him just standing there with that look on his face was awesome
EA and Madden are one day going to be a great case study in introductory Economics courses about why market competition is critical
Seriously. Ea is most hated company for a reason.
You mean Ea and Fifa. Madden may just be an addition to the case study
@@VonDarko as someone who plays both I gotta say, they will both be prime examples with the overarching theme being EA. A scumfuck company that doesn’t care about their consumers

Same! I don’t even play sports games in general but these videos are a gem! I think my intrigue about these videos is that it doesn’t matter what game ganre it is, things like exploitation, laziness, lying, taking advantage of the ignorant, cash cow type companies are all to be held accountable. EA has been one of the primary examples of exploitation trash.

Me neither. I rather want NBA Street or NBA Ballers. I just don't want EA to screw that up.
Its sad that its an annually expected.
Plot Twist: EA loves his rants about Madden too so they don't fix it.
It's an absolute travesty that you remove refs from a SPORTS GAME. There's no acceptable excuse for that at all

I don't even play NFL and I thoroughly enjoy watching this; partly because I've thought the same of the gaming industry as a whole since about 2007.

@@Lobsterwithinternet PARENTS buy the game for their little kids who don't understand that this game is crap. Look at where the money comes from, it comes from MUT. who spends the most money on that useless game mode? Little children with access to their parents credit cards.
This should be an annual tradition where joe makes the madden angry rant review every year until they make a good game. Bless us with a annual rant angry joe
I'm 11 years into my boycott of EA games, these Angry Joe videos always make my whole week. Liked & subbed.
11?! its not gonna work anymore just stop and buy it already damn!
@@TheSpeedfoever Hell no
Damn, a decade (plus 1 year) of boycotting?
We need more people like you
@@TheSpeedfoever nah we like our games polished, ready, and less greedy at gunpoint
I stopped at 07 so 14 years for me lol
The people who develop Madden don't even watch the NFL. They have admitted this in interviews.
Wow. Just wow.

“Do you feel like you’re in the game?” ~Other Joe
Best line ever.😂😂😂
😂
That house in the middle of the field got me. As a hobbyist gameprogrammer, I'm baffled how is that even possible :D And in a RELEASED, "finished" game!
Dude, I hope they gave AJ Epenesa a raise. Being the MVP of seven different teams in the same year is a pretty impressive feat. It might even be Hall of Fame worthy.
Can’t tell if your pfp is based or not. 1312?
He probably didn’t even get a dev up
@@kx7500 It's a "N" inside of an "S." At least I assume that's what you meant.
@@Naterkix ah nah I thought it was a variant of the anarchism symbol
Best part is the team hes actually on he wasn't MVP for
"Couldn't afford to put refs in the game." got me to emote like Joe. I screamed "WHAT!?" so loud my wife came to check on me lol
Bro seriously it's crazy that they even said this. $1B company can't put in Refs while it was previously in games three generations ago. I would be embarrassed if I was on this EA development team
That was actually fucking crazy. No refs?? In a football game??
ok hang on... Did I understand this right there are literally NO REFS in a football game and it is not a bug ? It's because they removed them due to fidelity shortcomings ? What the fuck is this.

i haven't played a single madden game in my entire life yet i watched an hour review of it. That's how entertaining you are Joe. lol
Same here, I don’t even know the rules of US football.
@@mikoto7693 Same, I don’t even have eyeballs and I still watched this
Me too lol
Yep. Thanks, EA, for making such a crappy game I don't even care about that inadvertently created the Angry Joe Show! Love his Madden rants! =D
@@mikoto7693 I'm American and I couldn't tell you anything about football. I know the Superbowl exists, but I never know when it's going on, I think it's November or somehtin', I have no clue
Angry Joe's G-Fuel is gonna be called: "It's Friggin' Blue!" Badass Blueberry Flavor. 😂
And 1 scoop will cost $49.99.
Carl has a new flavor too, blueberry buttrape, and it’s 14 American dollars.
Lmao I was literally around the hour mark of the video and decided to read comments and low and behold while I’m reading your comment he says friggin blue, there are no accidents lmao
I'd buy that for a dollar
Also mango bitchslap and coconut "what did you say to me
The "what the fuck is this" was hilarious and I die laughing every time I hear it.
I've looking forward to this video since before Madden 22 released.
I wait every year for the madden rant well bring on shitty madden 23 we know it’s coming.
@@antonygriffith9048 They need to take a year off like WWE did after last year's disaster. Then again.. maybe they did take a year off and just shipped this incomplete heap of 💩
I don't even play sports games, but I will religiously wait for the Madden rant each year
@@rezr5448 I can explain why I do, but yes I agree it could and should just be an update.
So for me I'm an avid sports fan first and a sports game fan second. This means its important to me to have all the latent rosters, incoming rookies, potentially new stadiums or uniforms, updated super bowl presentation and so on. Sadly the Madden and EA sports games as a whole have gotten lazier with this over the past 10ish years as they focused more on ultimate team nonsense.
$60 is a lot for the things I want, but I can easily put a few hundred hours into a Madden game on a yearly basis and have bought them since around 1994. This is the FIRST Madden game I have not and will not buy. That's how bad it has gotten.
Just dropping by to say love ya' Joker!
“Why can a 17 year old game…?”
2 reasons:
1. Laziness
2. People buy it
Stop the second one and the first goes away. One way or another.
I kind of afraid that if Joe plays another EA Sports game, he may just give himself a heart attack.
Hopefully it’s Skate 4 though, that should be awesome.
The fact this has been happening for so long shows how much of an abusive relationship EA & Madden has with their fan base. Lies, rotten HUGE lies.
Its really sad to see how game studios and gaming in general has deteriorated so much, games back then used to have sooo much attention to detail and modes, it's crazy how some of those are reintroduced as "brand new".... Sad times we live in!!!
I personally blame it once online gaming became a thing.
Before online gaming, Game companies had no choice but to put effort and detail into their games And try to make it completely polished as best as they can.
Because there were no patches or DLC updates to fix it once it was released.
But now these gaming companies have gotten very lazy and sell you a half baked video game at 70 dollars that heavily rely on patches updates to function correctly at a later date
I blame valve, they opened the gates of hell by introducing lootboxes and demonstrating their absurd ability to generate revenue. Now all games appeal to whales that spend thousands on a single game to get the best players and get easy wins - only to start all over next year.
As Bane says - Victory has defeated *you,* EA
To be fair you shouldn't compare gaming in general to sports titles that have a 9 month development cycle. Take Rockstar for example. They created RDR2 on an 8 year development cycle. They spent 280 million in development. That is a little more than 1/4th the income EA makes from Ultimate Team across all of its sports titles in a single year.
@@MannFace51 Going by date, valves lootboxes surfaced in 2010 from Team fortress 2
EAs lootboxes started in 2009, you can blame Valve for COPYING EA
They are just selling games on brand alone now. They know people will buy it. Why put the effort in at this point...EA is the worst game developer of all time... along with Bethesda
I really appreciate you making these every year. People tend to forget, so I hope you don't ever stop they need the bad press until something changes.
He doesn't do these every year though. He rants about them every year, but now he actually dedicated an angry review
If you search, there really are channels dedicated to open packs and bragging about spending hundreds to thousands. These unethical whales trying to hook kids on gambling. Some people don't forget, they encourage.
@@Wastingsometimehere Its super fucked up. I really would love to see EA go under. They've destroyed madden for my friends. Sims for my sisters, and now bioware for me. They corrupt everything they touch and I'm fucking sick of it
@@Wastingsometimehere I wouldn't be surprised if those guys are actually EA employees and the whole process of them drawing cards is scripted/rigged to get good stuff and get people hooked.
@@Fangu-Povyzas Maybe, but streamers who want to partner with EA is more like it. Close to employees not on the payroll.
"We couldn't afford it," says a multibillion-dollar company whose execs and CEOs make so much money that it's impossible for the human brain to truly comprehend what that amount means in real life.
The first 4 minutes brought me to tears I'm not gonna lie. To have been friends with other Joe that long and he still is with you to this day. Like I'm being serious I wished I watched you sooner. I love being from your city and I love watching you. Your videos make my painful life so much less stressful and actually make me smile and laugh.
Edit: saying that Dallas is the heart of Texas is disturbing😂😂😂
i feel bad for mittens. you can hear him trying to keep joe from exploding in the backround but we all know his crys are in vain.
Even mittens was trying to get in the action Mittens was saying "yeah thats right, madden is trash"
"HOLD ME BACK JOE, IMMA KILL SOMEBODY, HOLD ME BACK!"
mittens the entire time
EA puts more effort into a trailer than the actual game itself. Pathetic
FIFA22 will be the same lol
That’s because people still fall for trailers. I remember when that game anthem was coming out people were drooling over the trailers when all of it was clearly not the game itself and more like a cgi movie created with super computers and not an actual game console that will be used by people playing
When was the last time EA put effort into anything?
I've kind of just realized that messing up a sports game is especially embarrassing. It makes sense in a big AAA shooter to have some buggy parts of the map since it may have hundreds of square miles to playtest, or to have some gameplay aspects to cause bugs because particular player input or tactic was not predicted by dev team. However in a sports game the gameplay loop and play-field is fixed. There is no room for unexpected player behavior, or unexpected clipping errors between the models and terrain geometry. There's no way to overlook bugs during the QA testing.
59:25 I keep coming back because of this.
Angry Joe going thermonuclear.
I like how the famous “You done fucked it up” isn’t enough anymore, there’s no more words for madden 😂
Lmao
You done fucked it up implies there was hype and expectation. The only thing I was hyped for related to this game was Angry Joe's absolute rage!
“Or my favorite, playing the invisible Baltimore Ravens!”
My favorite line.
Yea i laughed so hard i spill my coffee it was worth it lol
The Cowboys murdered the Ravens and buried them beneath the field, but their hearts beat so loud they forced the team to confess before an entire preseason audience.
Rendering two teams is too much work!
From the people who told you rendering refs is too much work!
I’ll always love how Joe just gets really pissed off and starts yelling and everyone else is just sitting around uncomfortably like Joe might just break something.
They don't care because it's his house.
And nice sparrow BTW! 😉
Nice sparrow, tho I do like a micro mini please
@@ringoplauge3553 I don't know why Bungie didn't make a bunch of those
The house in the middle of the football field, I fucking died
😂
EA will never cease to amaze me with how much they genuinely hate gamers.
It's funny these games aren't for gamers its for the Football idiots who don't care that it's a trash reskin every year.
If only fans stopped buying these games to force EA to change, if only...
While this is true, in this case, gamers aren't the target with sports games. Sports fans are. And these are the same people who will pay obscene prices just for a jersey. Perfect suckers.
@@Rawnblade13 I’m a sports fan and I buy madden and fifa games every 5 years or so, but most of us get it because we like the sports and the only people who sell sports games for the most part is ea and ea is always on some bs. Don’t act like you nerds don’t but the same elder ring type of games and waste tons of money on cosmetics. It’s the same thing. Now people who buy these games every year and waste money on ultimate team and all that bs then they are the ones getting scammed. I only play it for co-op.
