At this point, I’m way more invested in the tradition of an Angry Rant than I ever could be with actually competent and unique sports games being released every year. 😂
At this point I don't think we are ever going to get a decent Madden game like it's frustrating cause they could easily make some good football cause they did it before back in the 2000's.
I never played a Madden game. Hell, i never watched a single minute of american football in my life. But i tune in on the reviews every year because i find them very entertaining and especially relatable as a guy that plays Fifa.

I have a few friends who are addicted to opening those (FIFA) packs, it's sad to see them spend their hard earned money on this nonsense. I have never heard from them that the packs would give them anything good.

Angry Joe puts more effort in his yearly Madden reviews than EA does to Madden itself. (Shakes head) 2K....You are our only hope....for a real football game.
7:00 It is factually correct that they have been taking steps in the right direction. Continue stepping right like Madden and you'll find yourself walking in circles like a moron.
I was expecting him to just continually take 1 step forward, 1 step back, 1 step forward again and say "LOOK AT ALL THESE BRAND NEW FEATURES!!!! (that we already had 2 years ago)"
Same and it sucks because I want a good football game and since there hasn't been one since 2k5 is really disappointing since the league changed so much form that tims
“‘Let’s get the griddy into the game.’ That’s what EA does.” Yes, that’s because EA’s Madden is NOT simulation football. It’s a child gambling platform in a half-baked football wrapper. That’s why all of the development money and effort goes to influencer hypemen and microtransaction optimization and NOT referees, animation catalog and anything else to make the game substantive. The purpose of this game is to get little Timmy to put in mommy’s credit card NOT to simulate NFL football.
yup sadly i dont even care about sports or football an im agreeing this is half assed trash also arent monoplys suposed to be illegal? y doesnt some one sue? o right money =/
Well the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results. Which is basically EA as a company lol.
Not a Madden fan, Madden fanboy, There's a difference. Fans love the series, but won't tolerate any bullshit their series pulls. A fanboy will eat all the bullshit their series drops to justify sucking their dick. They worship it like it's their god basically, even going as far as filling their room with items from their series and literally nothing else.
@TH-cam Account EA can publish a decent game every now and again. Games like Fallen Order, Titanfall, the NFS games. The issue is, EAs scummy nature just really shines through with their sports titles, which also happen to be their most profitable.
@@jornavyr2459 And why some ask? The fact they have the license, essentially a monopoly, so why invest in it when you can just rake in profits year over year without the threat of competition.
haha same. I havent played Madden in probably two decades, but watching these is a cathartic exhaustion of my frustrations with the gaming industry as a whole.
@The Rotten💯 and even worse than the Simps are the fence sitters. The creators that complain about the game just enough to give them some credibility, but still buy it every year and promoted for 12 months a year.
I'm seriously asking, if people keep buying why should EA or the NFL care if the game is a broken POS? At this point the outrage shouldn't be over the game but for the sheep that just give away their money and say thank you for getting diddled up the butt.
Seriously man, EA stumbled on the best business model on the planet. Just charge people money every year to purchase the same thing they bought last year, I don't blame them at all. Still playing madden 18 cause I refuse to buy a new game.
You, my friend, just asked the million dollar question. Why do Activision Blizzard and EA keep making shit? Because idiots will keep buying shit. All why they coward behind the "but it's my money" excuse, that's been proven to be false over and over again.
It’s the same thing with Star Wars games. There’s only a couple SW games that are actually updated frequently with a large player base. The studios that run these games are absolutely predatory and greedy, but hundreds of thousands of people still play-because it’s the only access to a Star Wars game. Once you become the sole developer of a game that has as large a notoriety as Star Wars, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
It’s gonna be that way since no other nfl games can be made they are effectively buying out the market and forcing sports fans hands. I don’t even waste my time and money on madden anymore idk how people still buy it
I cherrish this annual Madden reviews like its Christmas. I look forward to them every year and I wish for every year for EA to really screw up to make this video even better.
As a Brit I have very little idea about NFL. But every year I always watch AJ's Angry rant of this game and have a few belly laughs and coffee spills. Excellent.
After not buying it last year I almost got sucked into buying the new Madden for about 10 minutes last night, this video snapped me out of it. Thanks joe
Joe, I feel you more than you know. I work at Gamestop, and when this was coming out, I tried to convince folks not to get it. I showed them the graphic showcase, I showed them clips of your reviews in the past. But frankly, sports buyers are fucking idiots. Literally, they are idiots. I just gave up after a while. No point wasting my limited time on this planet talking to a brick wall. Actually no, Im not gonna insult the wall. At least the wall has a proper purpose in its creation
@@FunZies. One of the arguments that someone I work with made was that, "Football, soccer, and golf is the same every year, so why does it matter that the game is the same every year". I then tried to explain to him what Pay to Win is and he doens't understand what that is either...
Same here. I’m not American and have no interest in Madden but I’ve enjoyed AngryJoe and his rants for about three or four years now. But I think it was about 40 minutes in when I was distracted by my kittens and I saw some footage and for a couple moments I thought it was from a decade old predecessor judging from the graphics before I realised it was Madden 2022.
@@raphaelbrown6314 except he doesnt. Even the angry game reviews are mainly just him other joe and alex sitting together with a stupid splitscreen edit cuz theres two cameras. And those are fine except its nowhere near as entertaining as his oldschool angry rants.
god i hope this guy reviewed madden again for the next year again. because madden games are garbage. go play the real life sports not in reality of sports game
Tried to play both a regular franchise and a fantasy draft with my friend in Madden 23. I got kicked 7 or 8 times and the game wiped our progress in the fantasy draft 3 times. We JUST bought this game yesterday…
@@adad87821 Somewhere Blizzard was never eaten and it was and is as good as people used to think it was. Where Arcane is dueling an Overwatch show of equal quality, leading the industries to be better.
😂, as a result of watching videos on madden that guy’s stupid channel got suggested and I clicked on it thinking it was a parody account. The cringe that followed as I made it through two minutes may have given me cancer. So glad Joe had him in the video to mock him.
As a "veteran" Battlefield player, some of my friends always sorta liked that EA destroyed the sports genre and not the FPS one but sad to say they've decided to kill Battlefield as well. Every franchise they touch gets turned into a lazy cash cow. I can only pray that Respawn Entertainment smartens the fuck up and gets out from under their grasp.
I went to game development school and they never change they don't think outside of the box just keep the same formula and the so called new game developers today have gotten sloppy and probably will not last long in the industry
I don't even watch football really, but I still come back for this yearly tradition, because this game is a bad influence for EA, and Gaming in General
The NFL really needs to pull the license at this point and put it up for different developers to have a crack at. It's beyond embarrassing what EA are doing with the license.
What really needs to happen, is someone needs to make a football game that just doesn't use the NFL licensing. Just make up fake teams, and focus all their money and time on the actual gameplay. Same thing needs to happen with Basketball and soccer as well. If someone else would just make a game good enough to get popular, then maybe the major leagues would consider splitting the licence at that point.
@@jornavyr2459 They exist, in some way or form, but they probably don't get the recognition they deserve, the NFL licensing actually is a great way to benefit from you especially when it comes to marketing (since it's a big name) so i do think it needs to be pulled out from EA, & handle it to who can use it better, & I'm pretty sure we will see a huge difference EA are such a lazy bastards now
@@jornavyr2459 All Pro Football 2k8 (imo the best football simulation game EVER!!!) was such an attempt by 2ksports. However, as 2ksports quickly found out if you don't have the pro licensing, people won't buy it. It's sad really because at this point APF 2K8 is still 1000x better than current madden games and this is a game from 2007.
Its honestly getting depressing watching him deal with this game every year. At this point I would be ok if he never reviewed them again. EA literally treating us like garbage.
The madden review is one of his most popular videos every year. No way he stops - probably deep down loves it that EA continue to disappoint for the content it provides
You just wrote down what i wanted to say :D In 2023,he can jsut say the final verdict,we will totaly understand :) btw i wil never understand why its called football,when they carry the ball...
Oh shit didn’t know you had a channel wonder if you started doing reviews of your own how’d that do wether it be games movies anime shows whatever you have a big personality I’d watch it. Of course wanting to do it matters more than me suggesting it. Lemme sub so I see it more often lol got a whole fan base and i didn’t know 😂
Joe, your reviews of Madden games have shown more “steps in the right direction” than EA could possibly make with this hot garbage. Keep it up, Joe. You’ve saved me a small fortune on bad games I would have otherwise wasted my money on.
thats because people dont complain the other game ea is popular for the sims get updates over and over because people rightfully point out the broken mess this would all end if madden fans actually complained enough for ea to listen
Then NFL game is just going to be the same as EA because theres nothing you can do to innovate. Especially when football (both US and EU) has been the same game for longer than we've been born. You cant make new maps becase it has to be a rectangle only. You cant give players skills because football players fit cookie cutter roles and anyone trying to do two roles at once is gonna be broken or a shitty red mage for lack of better word. Its just the nature of sports games because you cannot do anything else but replicate the sport.
@@Deodank I think you missed the point of the vast majority of this review. Yeah some of it was about things not changing but the majority was about things that were taken out that almost everyone enjoyed or things that EA has already implemented but renamed to make it look new. It's about how they have been lying to the consumers for years now & when they are called out for it they & all the MUT fanboys get butthurt. And speaking of MUT that's all Madden is to EA now & everyone knows it. Hell even EA knows it they just act like it isn't. A very large majority of fans have wanted them to refocus on franchise & make it more like it USED to be with team creation & so on, but this doesn't make EA millions of dollars every year through "crisp" pack openings. So people aren't angry because the lack of innovation, they're angry because things were removed that were in the older Maddens that quite basically almost everyone enjoyed. If MUT, the microtransaction of Madden, isn't the main focus of EA then why do they mainly partner with MUT streamers/youtubers?
2k can't come out with its game fast enough. EA just signed it's exclusive deal again but 2k is allowed to make a arcade style game. I hope they blur tf out of those lines
To be honest, the PS2 Madden games were the best Maddens ever. I fondly remember playing Madden 08 and having a lot of fun against historic all-time great teams like the 80s 49ers and 70s Steelers, as well as the special gimmick teams like the 99 overrall practice dummy team. Madden 08, which came out in 2007, had more features and game modes and was a better overall experience. Historic teams, fantasy mode, create a team, 99 overall special teams (there were 3-4 of them and they all had a unique gimmick like the practice dummy team), etc. Can they just do a remaster of Madden 08 with modern graphics and change literally nothing else about it?
Thanks for the honesty, Joe. All the big outlets like IGN and Gamespot can’t bring themselves to give Madden less than a 7, which anyone with half a brain knows is bullshit.
And IGN and Gamespot gave Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, a better running game btw, a 5 and a 2 respectively, those game sites are smelling global warming fumes at this point
funny though IGN and Gamespot clearly dont give 2 shits about their reputation .. everyone knows they put little effort into madden and fifa every year and charge full price eventually ( while very very slow ) this will bite both game reviewers praising this rubbish and EA in the arse !!
The entertainment value that Joe gives in these reviews is above anything that Madden could ever provide lol, I’ve never played a Madden game in my life but I watch EVERY Madden angry review, Joes passion for football is something EA will never have
Finally! The old review style format comes back for one of your game reviews. I much prefer this to the “sit around the table and talk about the game” reviews. AND it’s an angry rant 😄 been waiting for this
As someone who never bought a Madden title, I simply laugh at the choads that buy this crap year over year. Everyone knows what EA is doing. Bottom line is you can’t stop stupid people from being stupid, and EA has the lack of morals to exploit this to the max.
It's casual gamers that don't realize what a good game is that are buying this crap. They're the same people that play CoD and don't care about any other game because they have tunnel vision.
I watched the whole hour video and I don't regret it. It feels like tradition to watch his sport reviews no matter how long they are. Thank you for down the job that nobody wants to do and playing the games to their fullest. You're hour unsung hero
Made me smile when Joe said grab some food and drink and enjoy. That is exactly how I like to enjoy this show, so entertaining every time, they never miss!
I really expected nothing more from Madden and nothing less from AJS to straight-up *spike* this game into the ground like the deflated football that it is every year. These reviews will never get old, and respect for you guys to keep up this tradition.
@@solosolo8610 It really boggles my mind that this perfect storm of being the only "authentic" football simulation with no competition, can continue to thrive off of using the same engine with the same old textures and putting so little effort into as to reuse the same old assets from previous games and call them "new" on top of being filled with more technical issues and performance bugs every single year. So much for being the most polished Madden in a long time. And the real kicker of it all is that there are still people falling for EA's trap and are happy to spend even more money for less quality over and over every year like it's a secret American tradition because football is such a popular sport in this country. It's ridiculous.
Why is it that he bothers to do a Madden 23 review (a game that doesn't deserve a review or attention) after going through Covid 19, but he'll skip covering Days Gone or the divinity original sin games because of "no time"?
The state of sports games today is maddening and depressing. I grew up mostly in the 2000s so I was spoiled with NBA Street, NBA Ballers, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, MVP Baseball 05, Madden 04/05, ESPN 2k5, ESPN MLB, Blitz, NFL Street, Backyard Football. Basically great choices for basketball, baseball, american football, football, golf, etc etc. Even great NCAA games. Great choices for extreme sports like Tony Hawk, SSX, Dave Mirra BMX, Skate series, ATV Offrad Fury. It sucks these days. 2K/EA have ruined it all.
Honestly, a story mode where you play as a failed vet or maybe an undrafted player but claw your way in, work your way up, ultimately make the Hall, could be really cool Shame that idea was had by EA
After all these decades, with the budget and profits that EA has and how much the IRL sport of football doesnt change much in terms of fundamentals, Madden games should be filled with content by now. Near-photorealistic graphics, weather affects, crowds, character models, referees. Licensed music half time shows. Accurate and buttery smooth animations, UI, nearly no bugs. Interactive crowds. In-depth character creator. Many modes, more sandbox type stuff. But no, we live in the darkest timeline where, thanks to the monopoly and rampant corporate monetization schemes in the industry, players get the bare minimum: roster updates and repackaged features. No innovations, stagnation, filled with monetization. The same bugs and graphics. Yearly mediocrity.
I used to play Madden 06 and 08 back on the PS2. They were so much fun back then all the minigames you could play. The new ones don’t look anywhere near as fun.
There was so much cool shit in the PS2 version of 08, back when most publishers still gave a shit about the products they were putting out. I could go back and play it now and have a good time even though I kinda lost intrest in football.
I don’t even play Madden games but watching Joe rant about the game every year is pure gold

i compeltly agree i look forward to it mroe then the actual superbowl

Why 2k? So they can delete their own servers after 18 months and not allow you to play your own game, even in single player?
@@kieranhardy581 because they at least know how to make a competent sports game.
@@bendy113 have you played 2k in the last 10 years?? Its garbage too 😂😂
@@bendy113 LOL.
7:00 It is factually correct that they have been taking steps in the right direction. Continue stepping right like Madden and you'll find yourself walking in circles like a moron.
TRUUU
I was expecting him to just continually take 1 step forward, 1 step back, 1 step forward again and say "LOOK AT ALL THESE BRAND NEW FEATURES!!!! (that we already had 2 years ago)"
If they could even walk in circle, they would eventually return to a good product.
Lmao😂
Had me in the first half not gonna lie
Everytime I play Madden.... I'm reminded why I stopped playing Madden.
Same and it sucks because I want a good football game and since there hasn't been one since 2k5 is really disappointing since the league changed so much form that tims
“‘Let’s get the griddy into the game.’ That’s what EA does.”
Yes, that’s because EA’s Madden is NOT simulation football. It’s a child gambling platform in a half-baked football wrapper.
That’s why all of the development money and effort goes to influencer hypemen and microtransaction optimization and NOT referees, animation catalog and anything else to make the game substantive.
The purpose of this game is to get little Timmy to put in mommy’s credit card NOT to simulate NFL football.
💯
yup sadly i dont even care about sports or football an im agreeing this is half assed trash also arent monoplys suposed to be illegal? y doesnt some one sue? o right money =/
Then what the actual Cinnamon Toast *FUCK* is Timmy getting for his mommy's money!? Kids know when they're being pandered to!
The definition of insanity is being a Madden fan.
Well the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results. Which is basically EA as a company lol.
Not a Madden fan, Madden fanboy, There's a difference. Fans love the series, but won't tolerate any bullshit their series pulls. A fanboy will eat all the bullshit their series drops to justify sucking their dick. They worship it like it's their god basically, even going as far as filling their room with items from their series and literally nothing else.
Exactly the people that buy madden games year after year, deserve the failure they receive. They must be the lowest IQ fan base I've ever seen.
@TH-cam Account EA can publish a decent game every now and again. Games like Fallen Order, Titanfall, the NFS games. The issue is, EAs scummy nature just really shines through with their sports titles, which also happen to be their most profitable.
@@jornavyr2459 And why some ask? The fact they have the license, essentially a monopoly, so why invest in it when you can just rake in profits year over year without the threat of competition.
EA: *Taking a dump on fans*
Fans: "Damn, that shit is going hard. Woah! That was sick!"
EA: *Farting at their faces*
Fans: "That fart is so crispy!"
AYO WTF
Dude wtf😭😭😭😭😭
LMAO
One thing I've always wanted was every Super Bowl stadium ever. Something easy they could do, but they don't care.
This series is the personification of Jay Bauman's legendary phrase "DON'T ASK QUESTIONS, JUST CONSUME PRODUCT AND THEN GET EXCITED FOR NEXT PRODUCT".
That's sports game fans in a nutshell.
Why I don't like sports, it turns men into brainless Neanderthals. I'm here for the juicy content
YES
That's right, Jay.
ENDLESS TRASH!
I love Redlettermedia references
I'm not even a Madden fan, but Joe's angry reviews are too good
thats the problem. the nfl bros who buy it every year dont even watch the reviews of the game
haha same. I havent played Madden in probably two decades, but watching these is a cathartic exhaustion of my frustrations with the gaming industry as a whole.
Why they are predictable and always the same.
@@BlipBloop33 why are you here then?
@@BlipBloop33 Kinda like Madden
Gave up on sports games years ago, but those reviews are always still gold.
@The Rotten💯 and even worse than the Simps are the fence sitters. The creators that complain about the game just enough to give them some credibility, but still buy it every year and promoted for 12 months a year.
Madden is the ultimate grift, and I'm afraid EA is gonna fuck up the College Football game as well.
So true, can we even call these sports games anymore?
I never got into them because my mind set is " i can just do it in real life "
Play NFL Blitz from the playstation era. That's only if there is a sports itch that you need to scratch
I’m sorry, but the clips of that madden monkey TH-camr raving about a 1.5 second pack opening animation was honestly sad.
I'm seriously asking, if people keep buying why should EA or the NFL care if the game is a broken POS? At this point the outrage shouldn't be over the game but for the sheep that just give away their money and say thank you for getting diddled up the butt.
Seriously man, EA stumbled on the best business model on the planet. Just charge people money every year to purchase the same thing they bought last year, I don't blame them at all. Still playing madden 18 cause I refuse to buy a new game.
You, my friend, just asked the million dollar question. Why do Activision Blizzard and EA keep making shit? Because idiots will keep buying shit. All why they coward behind the "but it's my money" excuse, that's been proven to be false over and over again.
It’s the same thing with Star Wars games. There’s only a couple SW games that are actually updated frequently with a large player base. The studios that run these games are absolutely predatory and greedy, but hundreds of thousands of people still play-because it’s the only access to a Star Wars game. Once you become the sole developer of a game that has as large a notoriety as Star Wars, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
It’s gonna be that way since no other nfl games can be made they are effectively buying out the market and forcing sports fans hands. I don’t even waste my time and money on madden anymore idk how people still buy it
Exactly. Imo gamers are just as responsible as these devs. Too stupid to not spend money on their trash games
I cherrish this annual Madden reviews like its Christmas. I look forward to them every year and I wish for every year for EA to really screw up to make this video even better.
this time i was actually hoping they dropped a good game so joe didn’t have to go off this time
I feel the same. And I don't even enjoy American football. Joe can make some great rants.
Every “Optimistic” Madden fan needs to see this. Even Competitive players that don’t care about EA relationships say it’s terrible
he's been pissed off with this since
his very first video.

I wouldn't be surprised if that dude is paid to be so overly positive about Madden.
I'm convinced he's a robot
I'm sure that dude got a lobotomy just before the video
As a Brit I have very little idea about NFL. But every year I always watch AJ's Angry rant of this game and have a few belly laughs and coffee spills. Excellent.
You have very little idea on how to speak English as well.
You really do not have to understand the sport to see the absolute state this game is in.
As a fellow Brit we can relate to this on a FIFA level 😂 both regurgitated shit every year!
Coffee? Are you really s Brit if it's not tea? Haha
Don't even worry about it, mate. And this is coming from a yank from the states... Thank GOD EVERY...SINGLE...DAY.... That you have FIFA to play with
I actually anticipate Joe’s reviews for madden more than I actually anticipate madden
Same
that re-enactment of EA “taking steps in the right direction” really got me 😂😂😂 7:47
I love that you can tell that the other dude was CLEARLY paid to hype up this sad game. That or he’s never played video games before.
That dude was insanely cringey.... Dude has no soul.... What moron would watch a channel like that?
That guy was incredibly cringey
Well MMG announced one of the Detroit Lion’s picks at the draft so it’s possible that he was paid by the NFL or EA to promote it.
that animation hits different bruh wtf is he high if they were trying to go with a genuine responses with their paid actor they failed so hard

After not buying it last year I almost got sucked into buying the new Madden for about 10 minutes last night, this video snapped me out of it. Thanks joe
Joe, I feel you more than you know. I work at Gamestop, and when this was coming out, I tried to convince folks not to get it. I showed them the graphic showcase, I showed them clips of your reviews in the past. But frankly, sports buyers are fucking idiots. Literally, they are idiots. I just gave up after a while. No point wasting my limited time on this planet talking to a brick wall. Actually no, Im not gonna insult the wall. At least the wall has a proper purpose in its creation
Funding your shit career isn't a good purpose? Haha jk all gamers unite! (Except sports gamers!)
What were their responses to being shown _video evidence,_ lol?
@@FunZies. One of the arguments that someone I work with made was that, "Football, soccer, and golf is the same every year, so why does it matter that the game is the same every year". I then tried to explain to him what Pay to Win is and he doens't understand what that is either...
@@princeraptor the people who don’t know what pay to win is will die out soon 😊

Same here, bro
Same, i don't fuck with sports games, even less from ea, but seeing people rant about them entertains me 😂😂
Same here. I’m not American and have no interest in Madden but I’ve enjoyed AngryJoe and his rants for about three or four years now. But I think it was about 40 minutes in when I was distracted by my kittens and I saw some footage and for a couple moments I thought it was from a decade old predecessor judging from the graphics before I realised it was Madden 2022.
Ha ha

I'll say it again, I wish the MMA community was this passionate about our video games. EA UFC games have been terrible, just fucking terrible.
this should be called the “Angry Rant on Madden” Tradition because every review you did with madden is so entertaining

@The October Mandalorian mmg
I don't even play Madden, I still love watching these just for Joe's reactions and just to see how lazy and greedy EA continues to be.
You are right, EA is a truly terrible company
As a "veteran" Battlefield player, some of my friends always sorta liked that EA destroyed the sports genre and not the FPS one but sad to say they've decided to kill Battlefield as well. Every franchise they touch gets turned into a lazy cash cow. I can only pray that Respawn Entertainment smartens the fuck up and gets out from under their grasp.
I went to game development school and they never change they don't think outside of the box just keep the same formula and the so called new game developers today have gotten sloppy and probably will not last long in the industry
Its like the super bowl of AJS
Kudos, Joe. You have managed to find a way to make football a yearly tradition for someone who knows next to nothing about football.
As an European, I second that
I don't even watch football really, but I still come back for this yearly tradition, because this game is a bad influence for EA, and Gaming in General
Same here dog
Ditto! I absolutely do not care for Sport but i just love Joe‘s ranting.

The NFL really needs to pull the license at this point and put it up for different developers to have a crack at. It's beyond embarrassing what EA are doing with the license.
I mean, given how morally and ethically bankrupt the NFL is I doubt they give a shit. So long as Madden keeps raking in the dough
What really needs to happen, is someone needs to make a football game that just doesn't use the NFL licensing. Just make up fake teams, and focus all their money and time on the actual gameplay. Same thing needs to happen with Basketball and soccer as well. If someone else would just make a game good enough to get popular, then maybe the major leagues would consider splitting the licence at that point.
@@jornavyr2459 They exist, in some way or form, but they probably don't get the recognition they deserve, the NFL licensing actually is a great way to benefit from you especially when it comes to marketing (since it's a big name) so i do think it needs to be pulled out from EA, & handle it to who can use it better, & I'm pretty sure we will see a huge difference

Thank god we have someone like Joe, one of the only honest reviewers!
Virtual hug to you joe, you have put more effort in your playthroughs and reviews than the people who make these games.
Its honestly getting depressing watching him deal with this game every year. At this point I would be ok if he never reviewed them again. EA literally treating us like garbage.
The madden review is one of his most popular videos every year. No way he stops - probably deep down loves it that EA continue to disappoint for the content it provides

Oh shit didn’t know you had a channel wonder if you started doing reviews of your own how’d that do wether it be games movies anime shows whatever you have a big personality I’d watch it. Of course wanting to do it matters more than me suggesting it.
Lemme sub so I see it more often lol got a whole fan base and i didn’t know 😂
Don’t feel sorry for him. He’s grifting
Joe, your reviews of Madden games have shown more “steps in the right direction” than EA could possibly make with this hot garbage. Keep it up, Joe. You’ve saved me a small fortune on bad games I would have otherwise wasted my money on.
I’m ready for Joe’s yearly Madden review now. This “make or break” year is gonna be so much fun.😂
Compared to last year this review is definitely a step in the right direction.
Yea, seems that way to me as well.
There is more effort being put into these yearly reviews by Joe then Madden has put combined the last 4 years into Madden
facts 10000%
This wins the mvp award
You forgot the 3 before the 4
thats because people dont complain the other game ea is popular for the sims get updates over and over because people rightfully point out the broken mess
this would all end if madden fans actually complained enough for ea to listen
Anybody miss Gameday yet? The moment they were forced to fold, I knew this day was coming…
I think its sad that the only way we are ever gonna get a good NFL game is if EA losses the monopoly. Thanks joe for the review.
Then NFL game is just going to be the same as EA because theres nothing you can do to innovate. Especially when football (both US and EU) has been the same game for longer than we've been born. You cant make new maps becase it has to be a rectangle only. You cant give players skills because football players fit cookie cutter roles and anyone trying to do two roles at once is gonna be broken or a shitty red mage for lack of better word. Its just the nature of sports games because you cannot do anything else but replicate the sport.
@@Deodank I think you missed the point of the vast majority of this review. Yeah some of it was about things not changing but the majority was about things that were taken out that almost everyone enjoyed or things that EA has already implemented but renamed to make it look new. It's about how they have been lying to the consumers for years now & when they are called out for it they & all the MUT fanboys get butthurt. And speaking of MUT that's all Madden is to EA now & everyone knows it. Hell even EA knows it they just act like it isn't.
A very large majority of fans have wanted them to refocus on franchise & make it more like it USED to be with team creation & so on, but this doesn't make EA millions of dollars every year through "crisp" pack openings. So people aren't angry because the lack of innovation, they're angry because things were removed that were in the older Maddens that quite basically almost everyone enjoyed. If MUT, the microtransaction of Madden, isn't the main focus of EA then why do they mainly partner with MUT streamers/youtubers?
@@Deodank You must not be old enough to remember the pre madden exclusive years.
I was about to say the same thing. I am waiting until the monopoly is over to play football games again.
2k can't come out with its game fast enough. EA just signed it's exclusive deal again but 2k is allowed to make a arcade style game. I hope they blur tf out of those lines
I always looked forward to Angry Rant Madden Reviews every year it’s pure gold
To be honest, the PS2 Madden games were the best Maddens ever. I fondly remember playing Madden 08 and having a lot of fun against historic all-time great teams like the 80s 49ers and 70s Steelers, as well as the special gimmick teams like the 99 overrall practice dummy team. Madden 08, which came out in 2007, had more features and game modes and was a better overall experience. Historic teams, fantasy mode, create a team, 99 overall special teams (there were 3-4 of them and they all had a unique gimmick like the practice dummy team), etc. Can they just do a remaster of Madden 08 with modern graphics and change literally nothing else about it?
Madden 2001 on PS2 is the one and only Madden I ever bought and I still have it.

As someone who never bought a Madden title, I simply laugh at the choads that buy this crap year over year. Everyone knows what EA is doing. Bottom line is you can’t stop stupid people from being stupid, and EA has the lack of morals to exploit this to the max.
It's casual gamers that don't realize what a good game is that are buying this crap. They're the same people that play CoD and don't care about any other game because they have tunnel vision.

@@solosolo8610 It really boggles my mind that this perfect storm of being the only "authentic" football simulation with no competition, can continue to thrive off of using the same engine with the same old textures and putting so little effort into as to reuse the same old assets from previous games and call them "new" on top of being filled with more technical issues and performance bugs every single year. So much for being the most polished Madden in a long time. And the real kicker of it all is that there are still people falling for EA's trap and are happy to spend even more money for less quality over and over every year like it's a secret American tradition because football is such a popular sport in this country. It's ridiculous.
We don't have a monopoly for anything else why do we have a monopoly for video games it makes no sense to me

Why is it that he bothers to do a Madden 23 review (a game that doesn't deserve a review or attention) after going through Covid 19, but he'll skip covering Days Gone or the divinity original sin games because of "no time"?
The state of sports games today is maddening and depressing. I grew up mostly in the 2000s so I was spoiled with NBA Street, NBA Ballers, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, MVP Baseball 05, Madden 04/05, ESPN 2k5, ESPN MLB, Blitz, NFL Street, Backyard Football. Basically great choices for basketball, baseball, american football, football, golf, etc etc. Even great NCAA games. Great choices for extreme sports like Tony Hawk, SSX, Dave Mirra BMX, Skate series, ATV Offrad Fury.
It sucks these days. 2K/EA have ruined it all.
Honestly, a story mode where you play as a failed vet or maybe an undrafted player but claw your way in, work your way up, ultimately make the Hall, could be really cool
Shame that idea was had by EA
I’m going through one of the worst times in my life man and your videos are always here to cheer me up! Eternally grateful to the angry Joe team!

@@caitsith3.0 I heard someone else might buy ea sports
After all these decades, with the budget and profits that EA has and how much the IRL sport of football doesnt change much in terms of fundamentals, Madden games should be filled with content by now. Near-photorealistic graphics, weather affects, crowds, character models, referees. Licensed music half time shows. Accurate and buttery smooth animations, UI, nearly no bugs. Interactive crowds. In-depth character creator. Many modes, more sandbox type stuff. But no, we live in the darkest timeline where, thanks to the monopoly and rampant corporate monetization schemes in the industry, players get the bare minimum: roster updates and repackaged features. No innovations, stagnation, filled with monetization. The same bugs and graphics. Yearly mediocrity.
Excellently said!
Mediocrity is being kind to describe Madden (and this goes for FIFA as well yet somehow they're innovating slightly more there than Madden).
Not just mediocrity this is a disgrace to how good sports games used to be 15-20 years ago
Yeah, thanks to the idiots that continue to buy this trash yearly. They’re only doing EA a favor, not themselves.
All facts. We need to boycott Madden 💯
I used to play Madden 06 and 08 back on the PS2. They were so much fun back then all the minigames you could play. The new ones don’t look anywhere near as fun.
There was so much cool shit in the PS2 version of 08, back when most publishers still gave a shit about the products they were putting out. I could go back and play it now and have a good time even though I kinda lost intrest in football.
@@metallicawiz33 Yeah I remember that one passing minigame with the dummies that you could play lol. It was so much fun.
Whenever I have a bad day I load up a madden angry rant and immediately start having a better time
