Madden's Downfall: When Gameplay Took a Backseat to Microtransactions and Pack Card Details Focus

In this video, I dive deep into the current state of Madden NFL and how the franchise has shifted its focus away from core gameplay mechanics in favor of Ultimate Team and microtransactions. We take a look back at Madden 20, a game that got the balance just right—featuring smooth, responsive gameplay, realistic player collisions, and an innovative Impact Player System. But since then, the quality of the core mechanics has suffered as EA has focused more on Ultimate Team card aesthetics and flashy player likenesses.

The Madden community has spoken, and it’s clear: we want a return to the fun, balanced gameplay that made Madden 20 great. Are we ever going to see gameplay improvements again, or is EA more focused on profits than providing a great experience?

Key Highlights:

-Why Madden 20 is still considered the last truly balanced Madden game.
-The difference in player collision physics, momentum, and transitions.
-How X-Factor and Superstar Abilities made a huge impact on the field.
-The growing frustration of the community as gameplay quality declines.
-Why EA seems to care more about Ultimate Team than gameplay improvements.
