Don’t Buy the NEW Madden  

lmao its called sponsorship you twurp , we have it in uk saw with fifa now fc , but we also have other football /soccer games you see twurp if player a scores a touchdown in madden , player a will score a touch down in any game you sede football is a sport and people follow THE SPORT < makes me glad to be english listening to this moron>

I boycotted Madden 8 years ago, still waiting on y'all

The #1 selling NFL video game for 25 years? It's been the only NFL video game for going on 20, sooooo...

EA and 2K got y’all paying for micro transactions on a game that comes out every year like y’all paying taxes 😂

2k going down the same road..😂😂😂

"an AI with worse clock management than Andy Reid. lmao, I'm dying bro. 😆🤣😆🤣

Stop buying EA, in general.

Call of duty needs to be hit as well. It's getting ridiculous just as bad as Madden

If ultimate team did not exist, madden would be better because the developers didn’t have to develop p2w mechanics, therefore being able to keep more of the removed features, therefore, leading to better reskins, since it would be as good as the ps2/original Xbox days, I guess friendly competition would help, but I don’t think competition would be that good when every sports game has some ultimate team in some shape or form

The amount of time I spent adjusting the price of hot dogs and parking in my youth was criminal 😂😂😂

I quit buying Madden in 09 when UT started popping off. I refuse to support MTX in full priced games. Games that don't really have all that much longevity when you take out dynasty mode.

Don’t forget the Madden boys ad nauseam “chill it’s just the beta” ahhh and it never fails every year….just for it to still be in beta form for the entire year.

The BoyCott for Madden 25 would be excellent. I haven't Support madden football games since 2013. This Boycott needs to happen .

I'm glad vids like this exist. The problem is that new football fans plau Madden for the first time each year. They don't know what the game used to be like so they don't realize EA is half assing it each year

Haven't bought madden since favre was on the cover

Haven’t bought a Madden since 2019, and before then 2010. Until competition returns to the marketplace they have no reason to change.

Must be an EA thing because we’re facing a similar problem with FIFA/EAFC :(. Boycott EA

I’ve only bought one Madden in the last 8yrs and Madden 24 was a reminder of why I don’t play this game anymore

I've been on a Madden Boycott since 2008. Will happily continue...

Them boyz gone be spending 150 dollars for the same game you cant convince people 🤣

A boycott is never gonna work. I been gone from Madden for almost 10 years and nothing has changed with getting the game out of there had. I am sure it's because of the check they cut to the NFL. It's probably the biggest one the NFL can get for the right to the game. That is the nuts and bolts of it.

How do you have 1000 subs keep it up bro your videos are entertaining as hell

NBA 2K lost my respect... Because every year is the same shitt and Micro transactions get worse in NBA 2K24. Money hungry mfs.

I've been boycotting madden since 17. Me alone won't make a difference

The best boycott was when the Star Wars community stood up against micro transactions when their title game was released ✅

College football 25 miles ahead of madden you should give it a try. I also gave up on madden but I think cfb is insanely fun

Man I used to play every Madden every year since the early mid 90's, up to about 10 years ago when I had enough. The game stagnated, a new release every year with no justification for the pricetag, no new features, just a new updated roster and more bugs, year in and year out.

It’s lost, there’s no comeback. That game sucks. It’s delusional to think it doesn’t

Should’ve let Madden go when John Madden passed away…

i mean they already made their money with CF so maybe next year...🤣

Sad part is mostly 99.9% complaining actually got the game early. Its all bullshit at the end of the day from EA Sports and the Content Consumer Creators in bed with them... Creators need the views so....

Got a feeling UT will ruin gaming

"License agreement" is another word for MONOPOLY. Which are illegal in the U.S.

with college football 25 out madden 25 this year gonna be better they’ll definitely have some engineers from college to madden

Been boycotting MADDEN, for nearly 10yrs now.

🏈 GAMESTOP ....THAT MIDNIGHT GAME RELEASE ....

rob i agree with you and you hit the nail right on the head. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great video bro. Can’t wait until they make a better madden

Am i crazy or do the graphics in 25 actually look better? Its a football game how different do u want it to be 😂? Ive said for years they should ditch the year release and do yearly updates with new players/rosters being updated each August.

i left madden 13 .... i came back 23 and i was like 24 gotta be better right? wrong, its never gonna change even in 10 years, as along as EA is the company.

I have been telling people this for years, especially after seeing comments complaining about everything wrong with madden. And my input was always stop buying it. That's the only way to make EA make a better football game

Eric Rayweather is BOUGHT AND PAID FOR!! 🦄

Yes thank you. If your buying madden your part of the problem.

I’m fine with micro transactions if the game is free or cheap. But a 70 dollar game? Ridiculous

I hate the fact that madden legacy is going down the drain like this, I grew up playing madden and EA is killing my childhood legacy. Once 2k is able to develop NFL simulation football it’s over!!!

Excellent video. Subbed. That old NFL Films music in the background still hits so hard.

As a nearly 40 year old man who's been playing video games and specifically sports games for around 32 years, I have to say the current state of not only sports gaming but gaming in general is ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!! I don't think it's a coincidence that the "retro" gaming community has EXPLODED in the last 5 years. Which unfortunately has caused it to become (just like literally EVERYTHING over the last four years) to become COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL in terms of financially speaking. It's just like you see with diesel trucks. You're seeing the older Ford's and Dodge's selling for ASTRONOMICAL PRICES because THEY'RE BETTER THAN THE TRASH BEING SOLD/PUT OUT NOWADAYS (and it's also true in the big rig industry too because people are sick of the emissions BS they're forcing on everyone because it makes the trucks FAR MORE UNRELIABLE and honestly far more expensive to maintain and run but it makes all the tree hugging morons happy who are too stupid to realize they're NOT SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT/PLANET AT ALL). Sorry to get sidetracked, my point is, Madden and gaming in general has been on a downward trajectory for years now and with all these people who are either too i*norant or misinformed who keep buying/supporting these ABSOLUTE TRASH GAMES/PRODUCTS, it's only going to get worse because they're NOT BEING FORCED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS (and that goes for FAR MORE than just the gaming industry)

First time viewer here, I dig everything you said. I totally agree. Stop buying Madden! And they'll stop giving you shit. Again, awesome job on the video!

when they destroyed the franchise mode by giving scouting 3 random options to scout on attributes, that was the beginning for me. that was madden 18. when your player had enough points to upgrade, they gave them random stats...instead of being able to put points in attributes that you wanted.

Question. Wouldn’t madden play just like CF25 but w more options and etc ? I’m taking bout the updated mechanics and etc

I boycotted madden a decade ago and it’s one of the best decisions I ever made. This franchise has disintegrated.

The feature that I miss the most is the ability to make formations and plays from scratch. The last Madden I know that could do this was Madden 2005 (Ray Lewis). I really wish I could play that version on my PS5 or XBox. As of now, I own 23 and 24. Every year I tell myself I'm protesting because of every single point Rob made. Madden 25 is days away from releasing and I'm not buying it as of now. The only reason I would buy Madden is my team (Miami Dolphins) is decent for the first time in years and T. Hill has just been voted #1 out of the top 100 players in the NFL. Other than that, I'm out of the market. Thank you again, Rob.

My first Madden was 17 and I enjoy playing Madden I don’t see nothing wrong with the game

we must learn from the previous real-life boycott Montgomery Alabama it brought other people dominance to its knees and if you read the stories it was so compelling for 385 1 year and 3 weeks days no black rode the bus, and something started to happen the bus company was not making enough money to lay off drivers so know the white people are losing jobs because the black people aren't riding the bus hold on now most of these people work downtown in the factories we need them to work but they can't to work or get there on time so now your destabilizing the economy of Montgomery you messing with businesses, taxes , merchants affair , jobs , so by them not riding they cripple the employees and the employers and big business December 5, 1955 - December 20, 1956

I hope enough people stopped buying madden this year.

THIS PART ☝🏻☝🏻 Dude is on point. FARK EA

Everyone should start a class action lawsuit. They have a monopoly on NFL games. Monopolies are illegal in the US.

This needed to be said!

I'm looking to crowdfund an American Football simulation game based on all the missing features and wants from gamers. Just gotta figure out how much people would wanna contribute to it.

Madden was awesome decades ago back in the 90s when it was fresh. Over the years it became the same game with a new roster. Ea is on a downfall. Ufc games are just as bad as well

Im never playing madden again, one time in my career on madden 22 i was playing against houston and somehow THE ENTIRE CITY GLITCHED ONTO THE FIELD and i couldnt see who to throw to. I had to restart the game. Ive been playing college football and i already love it more than madden

I’m on board, not buying new game this year. Let’s all stay playing on 2024 if we wanna play at all

My question is, if the internet were around like it is today back in like 2002-20010, would people still be making a living off pointing out the flaws in those titles? Do you think that due to the internet, it is so easy and instant to upload hours of footage of the things wrong with the game. Just a question that had popped up in my dome piece. Great content bro!! I am with boycotting Madden btw.

Just like EA NHL same old game every year

I spend probably a grand a year on ultimate team in an attempt to beat all the exploit players that only run broken plays. I held out last year until it went on sale fairly quickly for $20. I caved in and disappointed myself. Mind you I've bought every Madden for more years then I'm sure of. This year is my year. It's our year. They are hurting and I know they are based solely on the survey they sent me a month ago. I'm not doing it this year. Not even for $20.

vote with your dollar and stop buying this crap people!. I havent bought a Madden in 20 years tho I want to. But it looks like a rehashed game year after year with one or two tweaks.

Sorry buddy gotta do a ncaa 25 export 😂😂😂

The movement with the ball carrier in ncaa is so nice and it’s not hard to slow down and do subtle movements to dodge tacklers

Whereas I agree with your premise 100%.... people have been trying this for a decade now.....there are too many people indoctrinated by making $$$ playing this game on Social Media...and then them indoctrinating their audience to play as well. Madden has been an absolute disaster for how long now?

Madden needs to adopt that Road to the playoffs" gimmick for play now online matches.

I fucking suck at college football man

Little kids won't stop wanting Madden boycott won't work 😢

Amazing Video 😂 and yeah I didn't buy college and I'm not buying madden this year either.

Bro you’re not lying and it’s not just Madden… I’ve been boycotting EA games for years EA has destroyed literally everything theyve touched … NFS, Batllefield, Madden … The list goes on

This dude sounds like someone else but i can’t pinpoint it! Great video

Hopefully the college football game will do better than Madden this year. I used to get Madden every year and stopped forever ago but I am getting the NCAA Football 25 to play with my son.

I've boycotted for the past five years, but I might finally buy it again. It looks decent so far.

Bud Light boycott worked cuz of the recent beer competition as well. New brands both American and import. Local IPAs and mixed drink. Madden needs to be stripped of the monopoly they have been able to buy into.

Genuine question from a Brit: Is College 25 worth a buy? I have Madden 24, I have zero idea how the whole college league is structured. I like what I’ve seen from the trial. I know I’m one of only a handful of Brits who like American football. If you were me, would you? And why? (Without wasting too much of anyone’s time). I’ve seen huge differences of opinion re: College 25, BUT I like what I see so far. I still play M24. Help!! Thank you 😊👍🏻

the problem as most already know is the monopoly EA has on the NFL license. Many agree 2K Sports/ESPN NFL 2K5 was one of the best sports games ever. I believe that one was even just 20$ at release. The annual release is another reason they suck, imo the studio should take their time and release them every, say 3 years ..and quit the dumb forward release titling, if a game comes out in 2024 then it should be titled as such, not 2025

The games arcade mode is far more realistic and playable than the simulation mode is.

We need more software developers to compete for the Madden contract to ensure we're getting the best game. EA sports have just been putting the same warmed up crap year after year while removing the things we like, like the trades.

Funny: you talk about the wishlists. One guy named Deuce Douglass used to make them (you can still find them on RU-vid), and it ended up getting him hired. Since he joined the game has improved quite a bit.

I traded in my Madden 23 & 24 with my copy of Modern warfare III and I got Aliens fire team elite and I don’t regret it one bit and my brother got me the new collage football game and I enjoy it a lot more

I finally did it. I decided to wait on the purchase this year for at least a month, and then start checking out reviews. So glad I did this. Madden is still nothing, and NFL football is really starting to suck ass. I’m out EA! If John was still alive, I believe he’d pull his name off this title. Only way to get my money is to change the game for the better and avoid the junk it is. #BoycottMadden

100% man. I bought Madden 24 because it was like 85% off. Think it was 19.99. So I was like, fuck it, all try it for that. And of course, not much changed. But the kick in the kick in the teeth is...they pitched this Mico transaction bullshit with the draft. Instead of updating the ROSTERS FOR FREE like they should. I'm a Pat's fan who wanted to get Drake Maye in the game!! Did they update the Rosters to allow all teams to get the draft picks for the NFL Rosters?? Of course not. Infact.. I doubt even if you refuse to get Madden 25, when the season starts, they'll update 24 either for free like they should. It's complete BS..

Not against micro-transactions as an optional thing. But I'm tired of FIFA/ FC being MOSTLY about micro-transactions and not really improving the main game at all.

I haven’t bought it in years it was amazing and fun factor was amazing man, you had to actually be good. It’s when they actually worked on the game

I actually like this new madden. Bought it yesterday and was enjoying the hell out of it. I like all the new features they added and music. It's been a minute since I played for hours on a madden game.

Love the Vid bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’ve been saying this for years now, and ppl always call me a hater. We’ve witness this same crap game logic over into NCAA. Hopefully 2k will renter the football game again, once the license w NFL expires next yr.

will check out paprika but I need an angry joe fix first.

The last Madden game I have is Madden 2011

MUT is where the money is at and where EA is gonna target, corporations only think about more money …

Tht create a playbook feature used to be heat 😭😭🤧

Rockstar did the same thing with GTA Online and RDR2, I can't imagine what GTA 6 is going to be like.

Haven't bought a Madden in years. Crazy that people still get snowed every year with their bs... THE GAME IS NEVER GOOD!

Micro transactions is just gambling aimed at kids, has ruined the gaming industry

I boycotted madden after 19 until I get good gameplay and my madden modes back I'm not buying the game ever again

Those older Madden’s were 🔥🔥

I agree with u on that I'm not buying madden25, I learned my lesson with 24,
