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.

    It's actually disrespectful as hell to Kap to have him in that crappy game.

    Not to mention the many QBs he's rated higher than.

    I can see that. I just see it as a 'well, if we put him in it and give him a garbage ranking it's rude' so there's a catch-22.

    No, it's not rude. It's accurate. I'm not saying he deserves garbage rating but he deserves where he should be. A guy that was only top 15 for one season and has been gone for 4 seasons now. He shouldn't be rated higher than any established starter right now.

    If they put a 60+ John Elway in the game he would be the worst in the game. Put a 32 year old Elway in and he would be top 5.

    This is supposed to be 2020 Kap, not 2015 Kap, so it should follow that his skills have diminished from his last ratings, not increased.

    Nah, it's rude given the circumstances. We don't know what happened to his skills and his last season in the league he was on the worst offense with the worst line and had a four to one td to INT ratio.

    You don't want to punish a guy for getting hosed by the league, which the league admits it did. So what do you do? You can either put it in a pure vacuum and ignore what is mentioned above, or you can cave in to the reality that the guy got hosed and putting him in with a crappy score just sort would be a backhanded compliment. We can probably agree to disagree I suppose.

    Sorry dude, he hasn't played for 4 years. It makes zero sense to think he has gotten better. He does not deserve a top 15 rating.

    I guess we should use Madden to right the grievances of the world, but i digress as this isn’t P&R.

    His rating isn't based on reality. Period.

    Sorry dude, the real world is complicated and doesn't just work in a vacuum. Your second line isn't a fair interpretation of what I'm saying.

    Your criticism isn't based on the totality of the circumstances. Period.

    This is a FOOTBALL game. Nothing less, nothing more. If you base a rating on anything other than that you're wrong.

    End of story.

    That would be the case under normal circumstances, but in this instance there are more things at play. There's also the fact that penalizing someone for not playing when it's not really on them is weak.

    There you go basing it on other things.

    This is a FOOTBALL game. Ratings based on anything else are wrong.

    There is nothing more at play. In REAL life, sure, between Kap and the NFL. Not EA sports, not Madden, not Madden 21.

    Except they merge.

    He hasn't played in awhile. Vick hadn't played in awhile. He came back and played some of his best football soon thereafter. He was on a video game cover because of his play, post-return.

    So sure, if you want to punish a guy because you presume he's gotten worse/not as good as he was, that's your assumption.

    You're being obtuse.
