From PSU: “The selection of American football video games has been sparse since the demise of franchises like NFL GameDay, Quarterback Club, ESPN NFL 2K, and Blitz. EA inked a deal in 2004, obtaining exclusive rights to the NFL and NFLPA, securing NFL teams, stadiums, and players for nearly two decades. Since Madden 2005 on the PS2, the entries in the series have seen little to no innovation over the years, with both the PS3 and PS4 era of games missing hundreds of features that had once graced the series. Madden on the PS5 has been no different, with the last few entries like Madden 22 and Madden 23 releasing as buggy messes and it taking the entire season for EA to implement key upgrades to Franchise Mode that should’ve been in the game on day one. You can read my previous rant about the Madden franchise here and the ways I think EA can fix its current predicament.”
