I had a certified essay typed out regarding my grievances with the game, but then I realized it wasn't even worth it.

In short, Madden 25 is the least enjoyable experience I've ever had coming from a superstar/franchise only player. While the presentation is the best it's ever been, the game play is so bad this is the first Madden game I will be retiring with this little playtime. The offensive line issues in this game are abnormal to the point where it affects enjoyment. I cannot STRESS how bad the offensive lines are in this game. No matter how highly rated your players are, there are 3-4 defensive linemen in the backfield consistently in less than 2 seconds.

In past games I would get upset occasionally at how fast my line would crumble under no real pressure, but every past game pales in comparison to 25. It should be stated, if you are some online ultimate team god who loves scrambling out of the pocket every play or reading defenses like a professional QB you'll probably be fine. However, from a casual fan's viewpoint this issue is so glaring I can't even enjoy playing the game.

If this is how new Madden games are whatever ig, but unless it's fixed I'll be sticking with the older ones. Ty for the trial so I can play my 10 hours and never touch the game again.
