GooeyScale: 40/100
and here we have it, the game so bad it made me stop playing. completely broken and not worth my time, made me realize how bad sports games had gotten and how copy/paste they are.
17 was a tiny bit better and I do not remember why. 5/10
I mean it's a fine game, but once you realize just how much of a carbon copy the Madden games get starting it 15 or 16 it just gets frustrating. I wouldn't even have a problem with the games being samey if the gameplay got better and they lowered the prices of them going forward (Which they obviously won't)
Terrible gameplay, barebones game modes, and an awful career mode. The PS2-era Madden games blow this one out of the water
By 17 the series is off the rails and is a yearly reprint, it’s a wonder this wasn’t the last installment.
Eh
One of the best ones ever made.
