EricRayweather. Why don't you TH-camrs never address the lack of usable plays in the offensive & defensive playbooks, know one should be forced to run gun bunch, dues close, cross man tactics ,doing several bullshit adjustments like basing the line so CB's can line up over the WR's moving the LB's over offensive linemen... Why don't you and the guys that matter in this community hold Madden accountable for these thing also the MUT extortion ring is deplorable...
EricRayweather in cfm does your creative player get drafted randomly or does it still make you choose your team? I like to be drafted be surprised who chose your player
The problem with the block shedding is that it's so binary. A defenders is either blocked, or he isn't. There's no real struggle. You don't get to see that a blocker is getting beat, and then react appropriately; the defender just instantly swims or rips through the blocker is pancakes the QB.
I definitely agree… If I’m going to only have a short time in the pocket like in real life… I need to see my lineman get beat like they get beat in real life
Meh I kinda disagree with this. I'm not very good on defense and don't really understand the art of route jumping and shit so I generally play as a lineman on defense and you can definitely see the struggle of a lineman trying to break free. I just got the game today on PC and it's my first Madden since 25. I'm digging it so far. Won my first pre-season game with my Titans even though I threw two picks with Blaine Gabbert after Mariota came out haha. I really love the player animation and the way the players feel. It takes some getting used to but momentum and speed really have an effect this year on player movement.
MegaBearsFan your right either u get thru easy or not at all what gets me tho is how fast the qb can get rid of it as soon as u break a block the ball is gone
I hate this new madden if u think they ruined it before they took a whole football field backwards in this defense totally out powers offense receiver don’t even try to catch the ball not even a jump on 80% of throws it’s ridiculous we should boycott this game so maybe they’ll actually improve instead of all the bullshit they say the do but is never actually done FUCK YOU EA AND YOUR SHITTY comparison of football all nfl fans should do to u wat sadams people did to him
Great videos!! I feel like offline is kind of ignored. I just want to take a team through a season and have teams feel different. That's a problem for Madden.
I agree. I also kinda wish they'd release a "Madden Lite" without all the extra stuff. I don't care about MUT. I don't care about franchise. I don't care about custom drafts. I just want to play video game football. Strip all that nonsense and sell it for $25.
I like how fast the pass rush is. Having a good O-Line will finally be important, and it adds more strategy to the game which is never a bad thing. For years people in Salary Cap Mode have used an O-Line made of 60ovr players, hopefully the new pass rush kills that trend.
Honestly the quicker block sheds sounds like a good thing. Last year QBs seemed to have way to much time. I'd like to see the pocket gradually collapse though rather than him suddenly breaking away from what looked like a good block.
phillyfanatic11 damn man I got it digital but I will try it on EA access and see what I think and this time I'm going to be a bit more critical in my assessment cause I think I will enjoy 18 for awhile if I don't get 19. I did it with 15 and skipped 16 and enjoyed the heck out of 17.
With the block shedding the reason sacks are probably happening so quick is because you aren’t moving around and stepping up in the pocket which is something quarterbacks do a ton in real life to buy time for those longer throws. They’re making it to where you can’t just stand still in the pocket because it rarely happens in real life that a QB gets to stand still for more than 3 seconds. You’ll have to maneuver around the pocket.
Moving in the pocket helps very little this year, as the DT right in front of you will just shed as soon as you step up. It always helps a little to move in the pocket, but it doesn't buy you much extra time consistently this year. It's also harder to step up because of the new locomotion, the motion wants to pull you backwards, so it's hard to get moving forward after the dropback.
I dig the "Pressure happens in less than 5 seconds" bit, Especially in something like "Sim Mode", because the pass rush has been neutered for so long in Madden, every game is a shootout - there's no point in having a good DLine if the 4 man rush can't generate any pressure.
My big gripe about madden 18 was the boundary issues when throwing towards the sideline. Many times receivers would catch the ball with both feet out of bounds and it would somehow be ruled a catch even after review. That broke the game for me
Hey what's up . I noticed in 18 after a interception the defender turns around the wrong way and it stops many picks that could potentially be picks 6s . Is that still the case in madden 19?
Saif, not if you handle the sticks the correct way. I had a pick today that looked as smooth and natural as can be. I also had one where I messed up and he turned around. It's all on the user.
Most annoying thing that seems to still be there is when you get a pick and then the guy just kind of takes a step in every different direction and wont run the way you're telling him to.
I got it for "free" from having EA premier or else I wouldn't have picked it up and haven't since 2016. One of the issues I keep seeing are spying lineman jumping and intercepting passes that are ment for guys 15 yards down field when you bullet pass. This wouldn't be a huge deal if they ever batted them down, but some of these 300+ dudes have a vertical of 3 to 4 feet and can turn 180 degrees as soon as you release the pass.
EA needs to drop Madden from the title. It needs to be NFL football and they need to get all the companies involved who broadcast games such as ABC , CBS, FOX, NBC and NFL network (possibly ESPN) that way games will feel more realistic in presentation alone. Use different play by play guys depending on network the game is supposed to be on. This would really improve Franchise mode, put gamebreaks in the game with tickets that pop up so you see what goes on in other games. Have a end of week post week wrap up show with highlights. NFL 2k5 had things like this which made it much better. Before each primetime game have a mini pre game show even. This all may have to wait until next gen but I think it would be a huge improvement.
Your honesty is appreciated bro! Kick and punt returns are definitely an eye soar. I'm leaning towards skipping this year, but will check it out on EA access.
In 19 I noticed that receivers actually now is trying to fight for the high balls + Receivers dosen’t drop the ball everytine and can hold onto the ball during a hit. In 18 just a little touch from the defender makes the receiver drops the ball.
A tip when running inside if you have good blocking walk towards the line and then use one cut towards the best hole and it works and makes inside runs so much better
Thanks Eric I really appreciate and agree with most of your review, after playing some of the trial. One thing I would add though is that on a 4k TV the graphics from last year to '19 are an amazing world of improvement!
Crazy how the older games have the pro bowl and more to do, but since 2013 it’s literally been copy and paste in the sense that you build a team and play. There’s not offense or defense coordinator. You can still select the team you play on as a player (I hate it, wish they still had the draft), they took out the NFL combine...idk, to me it feels like they’re just ripping us off and being lazy with only adding controls and little things. But nothing new to the game. Overall I’m glad I tried the trial, saved me $60. Until the add something refreshing and fun to the game, I’m pretty much done with madden. 6yrs of the same game just being copied and pasted with different rosters and minor fixes to the controls just doesn’t do it for me
Eric, blocking in Madden is not the same as in the real game. In the real game blocksheds don't always lead to sacks or tackles. There is a wider field of play which allows the quarterback more space. That's how the game should play. You should be hard on it. Except if you are getting it for free.
Regardless what it is, it should be as close to the real thing and it's not. It's mostly hit and miss. I want to see a game where both sides of the ball play like they are supposed to. That includes the getting rid of one second block sheds which happens rarely.
They should do more group tackles... one guy wraps dude up and the 2nd guy either comes in to strip or hit stick... itd be cool if there was more ragdoll animations (realistic ofcourse)
They need to add Post Snap RPO's in the game. And I'm still disappointed they removed create a play from Madden. That's why Madden 07 and 08 were regarded as one of the best Madden games ever.
So the thing I think would be cool if we got to choose what sack celebration we can do on a big down and also a INT celebration on a big down as well, that would be dope
I don’t understand EA’s explanation for why there’s no pro bowl. From what I understand, they say it’s because they can’t make all the helmets unique on the field. Like they can’t have 32 different teams helmets on one field. But, if that’s the problem, just give each team the same helmet. Make an NFC and an AFC helmet. Seems like an easy fix.
Thanks. I will wait for a sale. I will pass on Madden once again. I bought Madden 18 when it was $8 a month ago. I will wait again. Not enough emergence for me as you said and not enough for Franchise mode. Hopefully next year will address these issues. However, I like your honesty and your videos. I will definitely subscribe
DeAndre Haynes I have a pc and ps4... hooked up the ps4 controller to the pc and got origin premiere for $15. We'll see if this franchise mode gets me to play more than 1 season and put it to the side.
I'm a fan of your channel and looking forward to the content this year, but I think several items on the negative list are nitpicks. Maybe I'm different from most, but I will probably only watch the halftime show a few times before I just auto-skip it. I don't pay that much attention to the celebrations. Clipping is irritating, but I also prefer it to excessive collision detection like they have done in the past. I just think there's a lot bigger issues with the game that we allow EA to ignore when we focus on things like this instead of fixing CFM logic and such.
I like there's a new menu screen, was really annoying last year was basically the same as the previous year only with a different background. It helps it feel like a different game. And I think I like the player/coach being in the background of franchise mode, though it gets a little repetitive.
I hate the thought of them dumbing down the player upgrades. If there's anything that'll hold me back from purchasing, that's it. I play exclusively CFM so it's a rather important factor
Hopefully they fix the defensive pursuit mechanics. CPU & User controlled players can just juke & spin and do whatever against the top rated players on the game. That’s gotta be fixed imo
I don't know what your talking about running easy with the ball in past years. Last year Your lineman would literally block for a second even with a gap the size of the Grand Canyon and it seemed no matter how fast your rb was that hole would close up in a second. It was frustrating
Ea use to pride themselves on simulation football, it sounds like they're getting back to that to some degree. You shouldn't have all day long to throw passes, and block shedding should happen more often, that's real football. Hopefully they continue to build on what sounds like steps in the right direction.
Have they added a fun myplayer like NBA2k? Or The Show? Because Madden really needs it badly. I want to support the PC release, but I enjoy the immersion that comes with that game mode.
Basically the only main improvements are the graphics for those who own 4K TVs while older features are recycled in, Madden 11.8 still isn't touching NFL 2K5 smh.
Upfield movement has been an issue forever... I think it's intentional, basically I think the devs have it in their head if they make turning upfield 'easy' then passing will take over and running will be completely pointless. In effect, they can't seem to find a middle ground, which I'm assuming is a development issue.
Chasen Cambron well when a product is monopolized it's never going to be top notch since there isn't any competition so they sit back and basically do nothing 🤷
Ishmail, bro the NFL ended nfl2k. They put the license up for bid and EA bid more. End of story. The NFL didn't want multiple studios making NFL games so they put it up for bid. It wasn't some conspiracy either.
They still havent fixed the challenge play system at all, its simple things like that they continue to ignore. Its sad we have to settle for a mediocre game
The helmets look better to me. Also the lighting improves every year. Small steps in the right direction. I also would like to see new special plays. Like the "philly special"
I'll stick playing Madden 16...I don't like the lighting in the stadiums in Madden 19 it's too dark, where in Madden 16 the lighting is so much brighter and vibrant.
They need to add back the legacy board players, when I look at the legacy board there are almost no hall of famers, despite their records being in the all time
I agree that the game is pretty consistent each year in terms of quality. But that's the problem. They need to find ways to make it better instead of just keeping everything the same, keeping what we like while also not changing the things we don't like. So, with that said, each year the game gets worse. I would not give it an 8 every year because if the game is the same as the year before then it gets boring.
good points. esspecially with the wr loosing speed after a catch is a pain in the ass. also to many big hits. cbs knock down big rb easily and to many random fumbles. man loos to be better than zone this year.
This game feels a lot different. I like it. To me it feels faster and more violent like real football. I've only played one game so far with a messed up controller that kept juking and hit sticking without me even touching the right stick but it's looking and feeling great so far.
I still play Madden 16 on PS4 but I am thinking of upgrading to 19. I have a couple of questions relating to franchise mode. 2 things that irritate me in 16. For all I know they may have been fixed already in 17 or 18. The first is the treatment of random generated players that retire. I have played some franchises for many seasons and my early draft picks have retired and simply vanished. This even though the clearly had careers worthy of the Hall of Fame. It seems that only real players, I.e. players that were on the roster in 2015 can get into the Hog and not the randomly generated players. Have they changed that? The second questipn is whether it is now possible to just be a spectator? Sometimes I would like to watch a game without actually having to control any player. Can I do that in 19?
Also they need to add a true swat button to the game, its sad you cant go to swat a pass as a db, only get animation swats. When there are alot of passes that happen in the game that can be defended with a true swat button
I used to create 16 teams in Madden 08 on PC and run seasons for them offline. Custom teams with custom uniforms, logos, fields, etc.. Is this possible in Madden 19? Also, wasn't this game supposed to be available for the PC this time? Is that the subscription only version or what?
I want to see goal line stands or more 2 tackle. Like if the running back is struggling to break a tackle their should be a little mode where sometimes u have the chance to break the tackle..
Is the matchmaking any better? I have a 94 OVR team in Madden 18 and I kept getting matched with players way lower then me, I shouldn’t be complaining but I feel bad when I start up a H2H and my opponent leaves after he see’s what players I have 🤷🏽♂️
7:50 when are they going to add something like a quick time even so that immediately after that catch, the user has like half a second to hit a specific button to make the receiver stretch the ball over the goal line
Still trash looking. I hadn’t bought it in about 6 yrs until last year. Nothing but disappointment. Don’t have the latest gear, no mouthpiece option, no other custom add-ons. Players run stupid, game felt sluggish. CPU can pull of insane ints while my guys NEVER got ints. Wrs didn’t make catches that were routine catches when defenders hit them. The number of drops on the game were flat out ignorant. I had a game were Julio Jones dropped about 9 passes. Same with Antonio Brown. They didn’t even take hard hits. Just open enough to get the catch and dropped it upon DBs making contact with them. Madden has slowly gone down hill for ages and it’s sad. I wish we had NCAA football back. I miss hours and hours of recruiting to build the program. 😞.
They seriously need to fix the sacking and how the quarterback gets sacked clean and gets roughing passer when it’s clearly NOT...it was like that last madden as well.
I think NFL 2k5 is still the best game all around. That gameplay was light years ahead of its time. That being said, I recently bought the PS4 so I grabbed the Madden 19 on a sales price and that's it. It's good but am not buying every year the same game.
I know what you mean sometimes I feel like it’s forced animation instead of letting the users get full control but I know their gonna put out a patch soon cuz a lot of people gonna be mad
You say you want a realistic game but you say block shed is too quick? I think they should bring vision back to force more realistic reads and keep block shed realistic
Running game/offense in general against all madden CPU harder than ever. Defense definitely overpowered right now. I average like 1 YPC through the 1st half of most games and maybe break 1 or 2 nice runs if i have a lead in the 4th or trick w draw play
For me it's injuries. I'm only two games into my season and I have over ten injured players out for eight weeks at least. I lost both running backs. Had to go sign new running back. Can't get to the qb at all, even though they get to my qb without hesitation. The WR's drop balls all day, meanwhile the computer catches everything. This game is bad, don't buy.
I want to buy Madden and I like the realistic direction they’re goin in. But I also feel like EA(And NFL) is taking the fun out the game being so strict with rules. Like injuries being tooken out of Rank play in 18. Even when it’s a close game or rival team I Hate seeing players get injured. But love seeing it in Madden cuz it increases my chances of winning the VIDEO GAME.
Im really new to maden, never played a NFL game before, is it begginer friendely? like tips for plays so that i know the right play to pick depending on the situation and stuff.. im thinking about buiyng the game but i wanna make sure that ill have a good tuturial for those kind of things you know. Since the game is gonna be released on pc i would like to give it a try :)
If you're new to Madden and you haven't played many football video games , then you should buy a cheaper older game first . Don't waste your money if you don't have to.
Great video I just got madden. I normally buy madden every year i just wait until it's like 20 to 15.00 and i brought madden 19 for 15.00 so i have no complaints. You get what u pay for
Itscool2beU never pre-order ea games, man. the last 2 good games that ea made, in my opinion, were fifa 17 and titanfall 2. they don't give a shit to the madden community cuz they have no competition
jfmthuglove right? look at this game, looks like the sideline players and the crowd came from ps2! so lazy, they forget that the little details generates good immersion
Eric Diego Not better than last year it feels more of the same but a little worse hopefully one day will we get a true football game not shitting on the game totally but it needs improvement or at least competition please give us competition
That's what the Long shots mode is and 2k is trash as well your player is only good if you spend money on VC 2k is pay to win pretty much I hope EA never does anything like that with Madden the Longshots story is great
In pass rush mode, dont have the players continually jump offsides. I never want to be in time eating mode with 5 minute quarters. The kicking game is horrible difficult to make xtra points from a k who hasnt missed all season? WR dont jump for the catch or defense on the ball? Cant change your base defense once the game starts, limited adjustments for cover 2 to to 46 defense, why???
Madden needs to add a real crowd for example in franchise mode if you go 0-16 there would be a lot of empty seats and it you go 16-0 the stadium will be sold out the also need to ad color visors

Did they fix where you catch a pick and start wigging out instead of running right afterwards ?

Why don't you TH-camrs never address the lack of usable plays in the offensive & defensive playbooks, know one should be forced to run gun bunch, dues close, cross man tactics ,doing several bullshit adjustments like basing the line so CB's can line up over the WR's moving the LB's over offensive linemen...

How does being a defensive user feel now??
Hmmm any codes??? For Xbox one???? Trial is done..

But can a D lineman still catch up with you when you’re 50 yards away from him???
Mango Steel dude, go watch a game. Some linemen run sub 4.6 40 yard dashes. They are fast and they will run down tight ends /biggerbacks/ bigger wrs
Turn your speed threshold down to 0
Yes
and you cant turn speed down when you play online
You can't fw the min player threshold any more?
Great videos!!
I feel like offline is kind of ignored. I just want to take a team through a season and have teams feel different. That's a problem for Madden.
jmarcguy exactly they never pay attention to offline peeps like us
jmarcguy fk offline

amen brother...i'm not trying to pay for players and play mut vs 99 ovr teams etc...
PREACH🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!!!! I’ve been saying that for years.
id like to see them add a feature where you can reach the ball over the first down or goal line but if you do theres a higher chance of fumbling
Bad Man Aaron Rodgers First good idea in the comment section.
Bad Man Aaron Rodgers for real I can’t count how many times a player could’ve reached to get those extra inches to get a first down or touchdown.
Bad Man Aaron Rodgers , there is like a little front flip dive you can do anywhere on the field but he doesn’t reach just flips forward
Bro just thinking that yesterday
It’s almost like it would be the equivalent of just diving
Another thing in madden that is annoying , is there is not enough coach/ player interaction .
So they took Mike Vrabel out of the final build, and don’t even give us any coach on the sideline? Wtf
I like how fast the pass rush is. Having a good O-Line will finally be important, and it adds more strategy to the game which is never a bad thing. For years people in Salary Cap Mode have used an O-Line made of 60ovr players, hopefully the new pass rush kills that trend.
U always keep us updated. Great Vids..... All the time
Thank you!
Honestly the quicker block sheds sounds like a good thing. Last year QBs seemed to have way to much time. I'd like to see the pocket gradually collapse though rather than him suddenly breaking away from what looked like a good block.
graphics definitely improved in terms of lighting and faces as well still going to hold off till December
Adam M was this on PC or the advanced Xbox or Ps4s?
cali1cali looks like Xbox look at the buttons
If you got 18 best buy usually gives you 25$ off.
phillyfanatic11 damn man I got it digital but I will try it on EA access and see what I think and this time I'm going to be a bit more critical in my assessment cause I think I will enjoy 18 for awhile if I don't get 19. I did it with 15 and skipped 16 and enjoyed the heck out of 17.
Adam M PC uses Xbox buttons
With the block shedding the reason sacks are probably happening so quick is because you aren’t moving around and stepping up in the pocket which is something quarterbacks do a ton in real life to buy time for those longer throws. They’re making it to where you can’t just stand still in the pocket because it rarely happens in real life that a QB gets to stand still for more than 3 seconds.

Saif Mohammed it’s a screen flip you have to wait for it to turn around then move the analog stick
Saif Mohammed nope in this game the defender just drops the ball
Saif, not if you handle the sticks the correct way. I had a pick today that looked as smooth and natural as can be. I also had one where I messed up and he turned around. It's all on the user.
eddie mac TRUTH
Saif Mohammed it’s still the same, maybe worse
Most annoying thing that seems to still be there is when you get a pick and then the guy just kind of takes a step in every different direction and wont run the way you're telling him to.
That name thing with the sideline players, is something I will never understand
Dino Anthony I don't know, because it just make no damn sense. This would be a 10 min work...
2k5 had your real players on the sideline not a bunch of dummies with random numbers.
I got it for "free" from having EA premier or else I wouldn't have picked it up and haven't since 2016. One of the issues I keep seeing are spying lineman jumping and intercepting passes that are ment for guys 15 yards down field when you bullet pass.

I've been playing Madden for 20 years. It's good to see block shedding return to what it used to be
They should do more group tackles... one guy wraps dude up and the 2nd guy either comes in to strip or hit stick... itd be cool if there was more ragdoll animations (realistic ofcourse)

Thanks for the sub man!
I don’t understand EA’s explanation for why there’s no pro bowl. From what I understand, they say it’s because they can’t make all the helmets unique on the field. Like they can’t have 32 different teams helmets on one field. But, if that’s the problem, just give each team the same helmet. Make an NFC and an AFC helmet. Seems like an easy fix.
Thanks. I will wait for a sale. I will pass on Madden once again. I bought Madden 18 when it was $8 a month ago. I will wait again. Not enough emergence for me as you said and not enough for Franchise mode. Hopefully next year will address these issues. However, I like your honesty and your videos. I will definitely subscribe
DeAndre Haynes I have a pc and ps4... hooked up the ps4 controller to the pc and got origin premiere for $15. We'll see if this franchise mode gets me to play more than 1 season and put it to the side.
Stop complaining u haven’t even played the game yet
Adarius Keith Who’s complaining? I haven’t read a complaint. It’s a statement expressing my opinion of Madden
DeAndre Haynes it’s literally the same game every year,
Franchise mode needs Create a team with at least 20 options for City to use and Create a Stadium
I'm a fan of your channel and looking forward to the content this year, but I think several items on the negative list are nitpicks. Maybe I'm different from most, but I will probably only watch the halftime show a few times before I just auto-skip it. I don't pay that much attention to the celebrations. Clipping is irritating, but I also prefer it to excessive collision detection like they have done in the past. I just think there's a lot bigger issues with the game that we allow EA to ignore when we focus on things like this instead of fixing CFM logic and such.
I like there's a new menu screen, was really annoying last year was basically the same as the previous year only with a different background. It helps it feel like a different game. And I think I like the player/coach being in the background of franchise mode, though it gets a little repetitive.
I hate the thought of them dumbing down the player upgrades. If there's anything that'll hold me back from purchasing, that's it. I play exclusively CFM so it's a rather important factor
They took away pumping up the crowd on defense 😕😕 unbelievable
What about the all legends and all nfl teams? Is that gonna be in the final build?
Hopefully they fix the defensive pursuit mechanics. CPU & User controlled players can just juke & spin and do whatever against the top rated players on the game. That’s gotta be fixed imo
Says block shedding is crazy. You'll only have 3 seconds of pocket time.
Shows gameplay where QB has all day to throw lol
When does it go on sale for 20$?
CLOUT GUCCI bruh
When Madden 23 Comes out
Right now
I got hall of fame edition for 26$ on xbox
I just got it on Psn for $24
They also need to fix those titans uniforms. The shoulder sword stripes are way darker than they are irl
If I agree with you about the block shed being too fast, should I use the sliders to decrease shedding, increase blocking or try both?
I don't know what your talking about running easy with the ball in past years. Last year Your lineman would literally block for a second even with a gap the size of the Grand Canyon and it seemed no matter how fast your rb was that hole would close up in a second. It was frustrating
Good stuff been watching you for awhile now and got a lot of good tips from ur videos bro
How's the AI when running the ball? last year playing career mode as a QB was very frustrating because the CPU acted stupid running the ball
Ea use to pride themselves on simulation football, it sounds like they're getting back to that to some degree. You shouldn't have all day long to throw passes, and block shedding should happen more often, that's real football. Hopefully they continue to build on what sounds like steps in the right direction.
Have they added a fun myplayer like NBA2k? Or The Show? Because Madden really needs it badly. I want to support the PC release, but I enjoy the immersion that comes with that game mode.
Basically the only main improvements are the graphics for those who own 4K TVs while older features are recycled in, Madden 11.8 still isn't touching NFL 2K5 smh.
Upfield movement has been an issue forever... I think it's intentional, basically I think the devs have it in their head if they make turning upfield 'easy' then passing will take over and running will be completely pointless. In effect, they can't seem to find a middle ground, which I'm assuming is a development issue.
I feel team celebrations should be team specific, with a mix of team celebrations all teams can use
Pass rush was booboo....user lurk will still reign supreme. I mean....there's no other ftball gm to buy 🤷🏽♂️
Chasen Cambron well when a product is monopolized it's never going to be top notch since there isn't any competition so they sit back and basically do nothing 🤷
Stefan Philp exactly! It was a sad day when EA ended nfl2k
User the d line like I do u will get to the QB a lot
Ishmail, bro the NFL ended nfl2k. They put the license up for bid and EA bid more. End of story. The NFL didn't want multiple studios making NFL games so they put it up for bid. It wasn't some conspiracy either.
Iveroni 318 people don’t ever used d line... especially if you have a good dt
Game feels broken and stiff. Gameplay needs a complete overhaul and new feel. Players do look good and move more realistic this year.
Great videos, earned my subscription. Loved this analysis.
Thanks for the sub!
They still havent fixed the challenge play system at all, its simple things like that they continue to ignore. Its sad we have to settle for a mediocre game
The helmets look better to me. Also the lighting improves every year. Small steps in the right direction. I also would like to see new special plays. Like the "philly special"
I'll stick playing Madden 16...I don't like the lighting in the stadiums in Madden 19 it's too dark, where in Madden 16 the lighting is so much brighter and vibrant.
They need to add back the legacy board players, when I look at the legacy board there are almost no hall of famers, despite their records being in the all time
I agree that the game is pretty consistent each year in terms of quality. But that's the problem. They need to find ways to make it better instead of just keeping everything the same, keeping what we like while also not changing the things we don't like. So, with that said, each year the game gets worse. I would not give it an 8 every year because if the game is the same as the year before then it gets boring.
If I just play Online Head to Head is this game worth buying!? Also does press coverage actually work
Probably not in Madden 19, but I want to be a kicker in career mode.
Trust me this channel is gonna blow up
CRYING FOREVER no
good points. esspecially with the wr loosing speed after a catch is a pain in the ass. also to many big hits. cbs knock down big rb easily and to many random fumbles. man loos to be better than zone this year.
This game feels a lot different. I like it. To me it feels faster and more violent like real football. I've only played one game so far with a messed up controller that kept juking and hit sticking without me even touching the right stick but it's looking and feeling great so far.
Is the custom draft class an option in connected franchise as well? Or is that only available for off line franchises
I still play Madden 16 on PS4 but I am thinking of upgrading to 19. I have a couple of questions relating to franchise mode. 2 things that irritate me in 16. For all I know they may have been fixed already in 17 or 18. The first is the treatment of random generated players that retire. I have played some franchises for many seasons and my early draft picks have retired and simply vanished. This even though the clearly had careers worthy of the Hall of Fame. It seems that only real players, I.e. players that were on the roster in 2015 can get into the Hog and not the randomly generated players. Have they changed that? The second questipn is whether it is now possible to just be a spectator? Sometimes I would like to watch a game without actually having to control any player. Can I do that in 19?
Also they need to add a true swat button to the game, its sad you cant go to swat a pass as a db, only get animation swats. When there are alot of passes that happen in the game that can be defended with a true swat button
the running in kickoffs pisses me off so bad it looks like my players are just loafing down the field
I used to create 16 teams in Madden 08 on PC and run seasons for them offline. Custom teams with custom uniforms, logos, fields, etc.. Is this possible in Madden 19?
Also, wasn't this game supposed to be available for the PC this time? Is that the subscription only version or what?
I want to see goal line stands or more 2 tackle. Like if the running back is struggling to break a tackle their should be a little mode where sometimes u have the chance to break the tackle..
Fair review. I appreciate the down-the-middle honesty from you. Thanks for the break down.
I'm buying this game just for the franchise mode. Sorry 😂 maybe a little bit of draft champions. A little
Same
Is the matchmaking any better? I have a 94 OVR team in Madden 18 and I kept getting matched with players way lower then me, I shouldn’t be complaining but I feel bad when I start up a H2H and my opponent leaves after he see’s what players I have 🤷🏽♂️
My last two H2H seasons I made it to the playoffs twice because half of my opponents left because of the stupid matchmaking...
7:50 when are they going to add something like a quick time even so that immediately after that catch, the user has like half a second to hit a specific button to make the receiver stretch the ball over the goal line
Still trash looking. I hadn’t bought it in about 6 yrs until last year. Nothing but disappointment. Don’t have the latest gear, no mouthpiece option, no other custom add-ons. Players run stupid, game felt sluggish. CPU can pull of insane ints while my guys NEVER got ints. Wrs didn’t make catches that were routine catches when defenders hit them. The number of drops on the game were flat out ignorant. I had a game were Julio Jones dropped about 9 passes. Same with Antonio Brown. They didn’t even take hard hits. Just open enough to get the catch and dropped it upon DBs making contact with them. Madden has slowly gone down hill for ages and it’s sad. I wish we had NCAA football back. I miss hours and hours of recruiting to build the program. 😞.
They got to patch the corners from block shedding instantly and hitting so hard not every cb can tackle or hit like ramsey
They seriously need to fix the sacking and how the quarterback gets sacked clean and gets roughing passer when it’s clearly NOT...it was like that last madden as well.
I think NFL 2k5 is still the best game all around. That gameplay was light years ahead of its time. That being said, I recently bought the PS4 so I grabbed the Madden 19 on a sales price and that's it. It's good but am not buying every year the same game.
Aye did you buy it for 24 bucks like I just did?
@@Rationalist101 Yup, yup.
@@beatlecost Same lmao. It was a good snag
Cooper drops over the shoulder throw 2 mins later titans receiver grabs one handed catch in triple coverage
I know what you mean sometimes I feel like it’s forced animation instead of letting the users get full control but I know their gonna put out a patch soon cuz a lot of people gonna be mad
You’d think they could update the PS2 detail level sideline personnel. They look so out of place next to the players.
Question- when it comes to the all-star and legends teams is it like 2k18 where each team has a all time and legends team or is it just two teams?
Great video. I preordered the first day but I was curious to see this cant wait to play
You say you want a realistic game but you say block shed is too quick? I think they should bring vision back to force more realistic reads and keep block shed realistic
Running game/offense in general against all madden CPU harder than ever. Defense definitely overpowered right now. I average like 1 YPC through the 1st half of most games and maybe break 1 or 2 nice runs if i have a lead in the 4th or trick w draw play
I don't like how slow everything looks and I don't like how the made the players look , NoCap
Please update the running 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♀️
For me it's injuries. I'm only two games into my season and I have over ten injured players out for eight weeks at least. I lost both running backs. Had to go sign new running back. Can't get to the qb at all, even though they get to my qb without hesitation. The WR's drop balls all day, meanwhile the computer catches everything. This game is bad, don't buy.
Why do they still have Morestead as the Los? He hasn't kicked off in 2 years.
I want to buy Madden and I like the realistic direction they’re goin in. But I also feel like EA(And NFL) is taking the fun out the game being so strict with rules. Like injuries being tooken out of Rank play in 18. Even when it’s a close game or rival team I Hate seeing players get injured. But love seeing it in Madden cuz it increases my chances of winning the VIDEO GAME.
Im really new to maden, never played a NFL game before, is it begginer friendely? like tips for plays so that i know the right play to pick depending on the situation and stuff.. im thinking about buiyng the game but i wanna make sure that ill have a good tuturial for those kind of things you know. Since the game is gonna be released on pc i would like to give it a try :)
If you're new to Madden and you haven't played many football video games , then you should buy a cheaper older game first . Don't waste your money if you don't have to.
Jimmy Jones do you know any pc version?
Great video I just got madden. I normally buy madden every year i just wait until it's like 20 to 15.00 and i brought madden 19 for 15.00 so i have no complaints. You get what u pay for
Great breakdown. Thanks man!
Too late i already brought it and regret it 3 week ago
Itscool2beU never pre-order ea games, man. the last 2 good games that ea made, in my opinion, were fifa 17 and titanfall 2. they don't give a shit to the madden community cuz they have no competition
Eric Diego so true not good
jfmthuglove right? look at this game, looks like the sideline players and the crowd came from ps2! so lazy, they forget that the little details generates good immersion
Eric Diego Not better than last year it feels more of the same but a little worse hopefully one day will we get a true football game not shitting on the game totally but it needs improvement or at least competition please give us competition
Roberto Aguayo That's definitely worth it, Rockstar games are 🔥 ima preorder the ultimate edition next week.
PLEASE BRING BACK TECMO BOWL 19 SIDE VEIW WITH ZOOM MODES !! BO JACKSON, JERRY RICE, WARREN MOON & DAN THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Why don't they just use NFC vs AFC helmets instead of individual team helmets?
7:58 a great example of the run after catch problem
They still don't have a my player mode like NBA 2K does
Von Polo they never will...they tried to compensate for that with long shot but obviously that mode is very limited
EA will never do it
That's what the Long shots mode is and 2k is trash as well your player is only good if you spend money on VC 2k is pay to win pretty much I hope EA never does anything like that with Madden the Longshots story is great
You can actually choose your celebrations after touchdowns and sacks? Like fifa or nhl
In pass rush mode, dont have the players continually jump offsides. I never want to be in time eating mode with 5 minute quarters. The kicking game is horrible difficult to make xtra points from a k who hasnt missed all season? WR dont jump for the catch or defense on the ball? Cant change your base defense once the game starts, limited adjustments for cover 2 to to 46 defense, why???
Madden needs to add a real crowd for example in franchise mode if you go 0-16 there would be a lot of empty seats and it you go 16-0 the stadium will be sold out the also need to ad color visors
