Are these still cut down releases based on last-gen console versions? That seems to be the historical trend with EA PC ports.
But even if not, that price is still high.
Are you maddening?
I got Madden 22 for free. It was the first Madden I've played since the 360. It was fun for about half a season and then everything falls apart.
madden should not be
The only sports game worth buying is nba 2k. The graphics are way better. The franchise mode is a million times better. There is less glitches. Stop buying madden. Tell the NFL you dont want EA anymore
*Wii Sports has entered the chat
I also enjoy FIFA. Certainly wouldn't buy it full price but $5-$10 is worth it.
Yeah I have a version of Madden from 2015 that works perfectly fine and seems to be more or less the same game, have been very happy with it. I refuse to pay $70 for a game that I know is riddled with microtransactions for really.... nothing else changing
I am curious as to why you say the game riddled with microtransactions? The only microtransactions I have ever seen is the card pack shit and that is incredibly easy to not pay for by just playing the other 95% of gameplay features they offer in the game that are completely free of microtransactions.
You can get cheaper tickets to a real game.
Let's say you score a 20$ ticket to a 3.5 hour game. That comes to $5.7 per hour of entertainment. Meanwhile, this game at $70 means you only need to put in 12.5 hours of playtime to get the equivalent, and after you can continue to play as much as you want unlike the in-person ticketed experience.
I buy Madden on sale every 2 years. Last year was the first time I bought it new since Madden 25. Same game with betterish graphics
