I mean, on one level I get it. These developers have less than a year to basically make a "new" game but if all they are doing is making some new menus and re-skinning stadiums and players it shouldn't be a $60 charge every season. I think they would have MUCH more goodwill if a truly new version of Madden was released every 2-3 years with proper time given to updates and gameplay and the interim was just free or low-cost DLC to update your rosters and schedule.
I remember in Madden's heyday you at least had new features like introducing pre-snap reads, new story modes, etc. but this is ridiculous... They can't even be bothered to update all their stuff and "hide" the fact that they aren't even using new code:

I have no interest in Madden Ultimate Team or paying to win or card collecting. I just want to simulate a season as my favorite team and maybe get my head smashed in playing against kids online every once in a while. Its a damn shame EA has the monopoly on the NFL.
