Madden NFL 20 Retrospective

Ойындар

Madden NFL 20 released almost 4 years ago, and it’s a great example of a bad video game, carried in sales off of name alone. This game exemplifies everything wrong with the video game industry, and everything wrong with the NFL.

    One more thing about the horrible EA/customer interaction. I bought Madden 20 through Origin because I stopped buying consoles after the PS3 and Madden 25 was my last Madden game. Everything was "fine" until I think in March of this year when Origin changed to EA Play Plus or whatever it is called and they decided to remove Madden 20 from the library. No problem, right? I could still play it offline, right? NOPE. The game MUST connect to the live server even to play offline modes. In fact, the game won't even boot. So I contacted EA about this and got people asking me about my son (I don't even have a son) and repeatedly asking me over and over again what the problem is. EA has a FAQ about this and their resolution is: To buy a "full" copy of the game from your favorite retailer. What.... I already OWN a FULL copy of this game that I bought from YOU. Nobody is selling the game online anymore because of the online dependency. Now, supposedly console players don't have this issue? And I wonder why that can play offline with no online connection while the PC version can't. I mean, I have all the files for the game and saved data on my end. It isn't like any of that is stored on their servers. The game just needs to handshake with the server for whatever reason.

    This is arguably one of the worst games in the series because: A: It came after they went to the Frostbite engine. And B: The minor improvements that have occurred in the last three games hadn’t happened yet. I’d say it could be better than Madden 19, but that’s about it.

When I found you're channel I thought it cant be that bad. So I started playing NFL 2k 05, Madden 08 and Ncaa 14 and realized you where right. Today I can't imagen that I liked that game,but due to the fact it brought me to the Sport I now love and play it has a special place in my heart.

And important skills like midrange shooting are ridiculous. I think it would be 250k to bring my guy up to 83 on mid range and that's like 40 bucks. That being said, the gameplay is still very realistic and fluid. When I play against the warriors curry plays just like curry. It sucks they're exploiting the player, but madden doesn't even have a solid framework

    Madden 20 was the first Madden I bought day one in 7 years or more. I fell for the hype, my friends sold me on it, the little CFB mode sounded amazing, I had a job so I figured lets buy it day one. I played it for 4 days and thought about returning it to only get half my money back. I couldnt believe how much it sucked, I was blown away. As a kid I loved the older 360 maddens and like I said I fell for the hype. I played it for four days and didnt play it ever again, and since I have not even thought about playing a new madden other then when I got Madden 23 for free last week through EA play, played for an hour and realized even paying 0 dollars for that game was too much money. Joke of a franchise now and I'm glad you are doing videos dunking on them.

    I’m happy you made this cus I was just scrolling thru your vids tryna find if you made a one on madden 20. In my honest opinion(since playing madden 99-20) madden 20 is by far the last ALRIGHT madden. Once EA included X-factor I was completely done with madden. Haven’t bought madden since!!

    I have never rage quit a game where I will never play it again until I got my hands on this game. I was doing the mycareer aspect of this game and after my 4th season, I didn't resign with my team or choose one of the 5 teams that offered me contracts during the offseason because I thought I'd be able to have more options after a certain week. I did not. It legitimately forced me to retire without warning. 4 seasons and my career was over. No warning, and no chance to continue.

    @@nicocollins4101 I'd say same if i hadn't had very similar things happen to me. Not just in 20, but also in 21 and 22 and even 23. I'd make a QB who by his fourth year was a 99 overall with the Jets (after being forced to ONLY be drafted there as a QB), win 3 or 4 rings in that time with the same number of MVPs, amazing stats, literally everything you could ask for. And I decided to not resign with the Jets because I want to play on a different team. But what do ya know, a 25 year old, 99 ovr QB with 4 rings, 4 mvps and amazing stats did not get a single contract offer from ANY other team and was forced to retire. I don't know what world that happens in, but I guarantee teams would be flocking that guy with contract offers irl or any decently made simulation football game.

    When they updated scouting. I think the mistake is on us assuming the scouting update was ever intended to improve Franchise mode. Honestly ask yourself if any changes implemented into Franchise mode have been an improvement. Now ask yourself if that’s an honest mistake or an intentional detriment that essentially improves other modes by knocking another down. Crazy right.

Franchise Mode is immaculate as always, with new decades scoring. This was also the first PS2 madden to introduce the QB Avoidance Stick. Also, it's the last madden to have Historic Teams, along with the 2007 Packers being a playable team.

    I put Madden 16 in the other day and holy crap. Bruh that shit looks better Madden 23. Obviously the graphics on the series x are better but 16 is freaking gorgeous compared to everything since. And the presentation is better and it plays better. Receivers will actually turn upfield after they catch ball unlike more recent games where they just die if a defender is nearby. Franchise mode is kind of a joke though. My team overall is a 90-95 every year. I have like 8 first round picks every year. Players take way too little money. The ability to change progression speed, add traits and manually control ratings is OP and the game prep is a little too tedious. It's not remotely challenging. But you do get trade offers which is nice.
