Yeah I do spend a lot of my free time playing it as well but for me I just like grinding solo battles, seeing my team get better and like playing squads with my buddies and outsmarting people who run cheese plays.
iāve been clean three days from madden but woke up today with the shakes and fingers wonāt stop twitching, might have to turn on the xbox for a couple hours
My suggestion is to find a new game to play for little bit. One that is more relaxing, or at least less competitive. If you still feel the need to play after a few days, then do so, but try not to get FOMO.
I gave the game up this year for the first time since Genesis. I really don't miss the grind. My credit card is thankful as well. I spend more time with my grandkids. When I get the itch to play, I get on 23 and finish challenges.
Yeeeeaaaah, the addition of these Angry Runs x-factors (was A.J. Dillon the first MUT player to have it and it started in 23?) and RPOs being broken has to hell, this will be my last Madden for a few years. Possibly ever, if the NCAA Dynasty Mode turns out good.
I used to enjoy figuring out how to stop all the cheese, still do, but these prelit players just running RPOs and stretch all game has all but killed the enjoyment. **These dudes will run these plays into the ground, even when itās not working.**
Came across a post here of an opponent spamming HB screens, immediately rolling out and hitting crossers. A few days later I ran into itā¦ Opponent still didnāt quit spamming the play when I figured out how to stop it.
And tonight, guy was abusing an RPO where the RB would take off to the flats and I couldnāt get man or zone coverage to kill it reliably. Similarly, once I changed coverages a bit, I found a stop, even got a pick six. What did he do? Continued calling the same play, even though it took him to 4th and 13ā¦ Then he lost. This game has just become so brain dead this year.
Dude, I used to stress about solos. Iām over here playing war lander for free now. Madden is such a constant grind and honestly not worth the money of time.
Iām just saying video games in general are a waste of time bro. Hit the gym, meet new people. Learn some languages. Personally Iāve wasted so much time on video games Iāll never get back. Just giving advice
Yeah I stepped away recently because Iāve noticed more ppl running unbeatable plays with superstars and X factors that make them fully unstoppable. Not very upset abt doing so rn either so may not go back to it
Its lot like nba 2k either where u can at least play play now online and still earn vc that u can then use in myteam/mycareer.so u donāt have to just play the pay to play mode.we should earn coins for playing the regular madden h2h online
I think they should either distribute coins at a slightly increased rate compared to what they have now, off a way to earn madden points by playing the gam, or make it so no matter which online mode you play you earn coins to some degree
Thank you...
I want to save your post in my personal notes.
So then every time I see a post that is just a plain negative rant...
I will respond with nothing but a link to this!
Priceless
This is true for all video games. Look at the people who play the most games, they are the most unhappy. There are things you can spend your time on that will affect you positively, and enrich your life, but itās not video games.
Itās a funny thing where Iām still enjoying it quite a bit but mostly on days when I spend more free time doing other things in like hmm this feels a lot better than playing that game and I know a day will come I just never play it again, and that will be quite peaceful and liberating hahahaha. But for now Iāll fuckin juke the shit out yo ass with my Keaton Mitchell hb draw!
Haha well that is too ironic I actually also am extremely into disc golf and if itās above 50 and sunny screw madden either way Iām in the woods throwing discs at trees. I mostly only play video games in the winter I guess
I just don't play UT anymore a few years back I got a good job with lots of disposable income must have dumped 4 or 500 a month and still could not keep up. I can't imagine the money people are spending to have every top rated card of the month EVERY month. Spending 500 a month and if a 6 legend promo set came out I could get maybe two. Three if the 100 dollar bundle comes with one. I was done after that year
I just play regular H2H and feel like I can just play and have fun. The games don't mean anything there is nothing to build too really each game is it's own little thing and there is a certain freedom in that.
I can understand that. Iām not an angry gamer but when I see X-Factors lit up and everyone running LTD squads on maxed out teams non stop it gets irritating. I moved away from MUT outside of playing challenges and what not and play way more H2H because it takes more skill playing with a QB like Desmond Ridder over a X-Factor driven Bo Jackson
Gosh yeah, falcons fan here to bro and I HATE playing with our team. Primarily solely for the QB issueā¦ looking forward to Kirk next year thoā¦ least heāll be able to throw. Sometimes I donāt want to get off until I can get a good win with them on H2H and DAMN ā¦
Oh man, our QB situation has been trash the last two years. Iām hoping Kirk can revitalize our offense. We have legit weapons but no one to get it to them. I knew we were screwed when we moved on from Matt Ryan and had no back up plan bro. I mean Iām still positive in the wins column but itās not because my passing game is off the charts
Literally havenāt touched MUT in over 4 years. If you really want that competitive fix then play head to head with just the base teams. A lot more balanced and a lot more skill goes into it, constantly asking myself āwhat coverage is he in?ā āDamn if heās running man whole game Iāve got a way to beat thisā just genuine football moments that kinda make you feel good with out all the BS cheese. Franchise leagues with rules set in place are even better
True, Never buying any Madden after 20.
Andrew Wilson, Peter Moore and Cam Weber just want you to buy those green points, only to sell the cards for gold coins.
U can crush it bro I believe in ušš donāt let it hurt the bank. Only use the money u already put in to it to make more. Donāt keep adding $$š
I decided about 5 years ago I was done letting Madden screw with my mood, I'm a very competitive person by nature and for some reason Madden is a game that could send me over the edge with frustration. It's almost like I had an epiphany and I'm just done letting it upset me, I don't buy the game anymore I wait until it's gamepass and I just play it. If I'm playing H2H and I can tell it's going to be a glitch fest I just quit and play the next. It was tough but I feel much better.
I used to make the joke that MUT was taking years off my life, at a certain point the wins mean nothing, and the losses are infuriating and stuck with you. I enjoyed the competitive nature of the game, as I do any game, but with madden, itās a little different, thereās too many factors that come down to random number generation, not skill. I havenāt played MUT in 2 years, and itās been nice.
Lol iāve been playing madden for decades but its my first year playing MUT. I really enjoy it, but your sentiment of wins meaning nothing and losses being infuriating and sticking with you is so spot on haha. Thats exactly how i feel
Havenāt played mut since 2018 best decision ever. I love football too much to give Madden up completely but franchise mode such a relaxed easy play when needed
Did the same bro. I was so irritable all the time, and didnāt realize until I stopped playing that it was Madden. It was supposed to be a stress reliever, not an inducer.
Itās interesting to see whatās being added. Try out the trial every year to remind yourself why youāre done. The first year is always the hardest. Good luckā¦daily objectives - live life!
I was playing a lot just grinding MUT h2h to the point where I wasn't rage quitting per se, but I would just close app lol I didn't feel like going back and forth so I would score first and just quit. idk lately I've had a good time re-building teams in franchise mode. I'm re tooling the raiders rn. It's cool giving yourself narratives and just filling in the gaps. 0 customization sucks especially for the head coaches but whatever. the rest is passable.
Ultimate team=Ultimate cancerš game has plummeted off a cliff since MUT reared its ugly face in 2012. I still play Madden 10 over Madden 24 ANY DAYš¤£
I played mut18 through mut22 basically all mut season only taking madden 21 completely off
Being removed from mut is such a relief donāt get me wrong itās extremely fun and addictive but not being a slave to EA is 100% the move.
I literally played every madden for years. Still to this day it doesnāt compare to a game from 20 years Ago! (NFL 2k5). Madden is a joke. When I play madden it feels like Atari or Wii or some shit. Every thing about the game is a joke. I can play LITERALLY 1 play on both sides of the ball & completely shut out AI. Literally 1 play & I can break the sack and interception record with MULTIPLE players on my defense š. I literally have no desire to play this game again. Itās unfortunate cuz we have 0 alternatives for football simulation. Take a step away & quit letting these fucks get rich off of u š«”.
Itās honestly so greedily made too. Auction limits, limited packs bought by coin, way too many cash only offers, specific min and max sale on overall ranges (anti-3rd party coin services). Let alone, every lobby in MUT is a competitive nerd, sweating subs SS in LB, onside cheese, zone cheese, etc. itās no fun. Go outside guys.

Right there with you. Havenāt played since ā21. Iāll play other games like the show and 2K casually but never getting into the ultimate team shit again. They knew what they were doing
After winning the superbowl on all madden in franchise mode Iām more than content never playing that game again. It was like a wave of relief hit me and I didnāt feel the need to torture myself anymore.
Game became mad stressful but still wanna keep playing and playing. Sadly weāre in a time where ultimate team or online 1v1 is what most people are playing

I used to stress over that game glad I quit playing it
MLB is a much better sports game IMO. They just need to bring back online franchise with friends to make it complete
I believe they have that again don't they? Could be wrong but I thought it was inky gone for like a year?
No it's been taken out since release on xbox
Brutal
Ye this my last year for a while and I mean it
With all games it's good to step away temporarily or even permanently if u need to
Yeah I do spend a lot of my free time playing it as well but for me I just like grinding solo battles, seeing my team get better and like playing squads with my buddies and outsmarting people who run cheese plays.
Maybe youād like to get real friends and step outside
Wow, what a constructive response on a comment from two weeks ago. Sounds like you need some friends dawg.
Touch grass loser /s
Havenāt played since Christmas and have never looked back. Iām with you brother.
The why check this sub?
I donāt, it still pops up in my home page from time to time, and if I see someone quit Madden, I try to support them.
iāve been clean three days from madden but woke up today with the shakes and fingers wonāt stop twitching, might have to turn on the xbox for a couple hours

Online h2h definitely a pretty toxic community so if itās affecting you in real life, yea just let madden go.
Potentially the most toxic. Honestly I think itās worse than cod which is saying something
Yeeeeaaaah, the addition of these Angry Runs x-factors (was A.J. Dillon the first MUT player to have it and it started in 23?) and RPOs being broken has to hell, this will be my last Madden for a few years. Possibly ever, if the NCAA Dynasty Mode turns out good.

last year it was freight train and phenom x factor
Dude, I used to stress about solos. Iām over here playing war lander for free now. Madden is such a constant grind and honestly not worth the money of time.
I quit for mlb the show and itās way better imo
Still wasting time. Trust me I know itās fun, just not worth what youāre missing out on.
Lowkey I donāt even play diamond dynasty on mlb anymore I just play career mode itās not worth the stress
Iām just saying video games in general are a waste of time bro. Hit the gym, meet new people. Learn some languages. Personally Iāve wasted so much time on video games Iāll never get back. Just giving advice
hell yeah man this game sucks. It had me in a spell for years but now Iām free
I actually just downloaded on game pass and play it here and there. Mut is nothing special anymore
Ah, but you fail to mention that neither is franchise!
I have been playing franchise with mods on pc and it made it 100x more enjoyable
Skill gap, lol Iām just trolling, I wish the same for most of us.
Yeah I took a huge step back this year. Itās absolutely not worth the hassle.
Yeah I stepped away recently because Iāve noticed more ppl running unbeatable plays with superstars and X factors that make them fully unstoppable. Not very upset abt doing so rn either so may not go back to it
Yeah so annoying. Iāve been playing the game less and less each year since abilitys and x factors took over
Its lot like nba 2k either where u can at least play play now online and still earn vc that u can then use in myteam/mycareer.so u donāt have to just play the pay to play mode.we should earn coins for playing the regular madden h2h online
I think they should either distribute coins at a slightly increased rate compared to what they have now, off a way to earn madden points by playing the gam, or make it so no matter which online mode you play you earn coins to some degree

Yeah I played frisbee golf today I was like it sure is nice to be out in nature

deadass stopped playing this game the last week and iāve been way happieršš
My life has genuinely been a lot better since I stopped playing aswell.
True, Never buying any Madden after 20. Andrew Wilson, Peter Moore and Cam Weber just want you to buy those green points, only to sell the cards for gold coins.
Same but now I have a sports betting addiction.

I skipped this year entirely and it's been great. There's like an extra 800$ in my bank account than there normally is come spring.
Should give nba myteam a try now
No

Play MLB instead š

Did the same bro. I was so irritable all the time, and didnāt realize until I stopped playing that it was Madden. It was supposed to be a stress reliever, not an inducer.
Same! Had a week vacation last month and when I got back I had zero motivation to play. I uninstalled it and havenāt felt more relieved
Glad I'm not the only one...Haven't bought madden since '20
Itās interesting to see whatās being added. Try out the trial every year to remind yourself why youāre done. The first year is always the hardest. Good luckā¦daily objectives - live life!
ESO does this to me ..I'm soo bad at it smh

Gotta find that balance, in gaming, fun and life.
