Madden is always gonna Madden. In many ways 24 is the same game as 23 so I'm only going to comment on what felt different this year.
The positive:
- The game is always going to be animation based given EAs outdated engine, but this was better implemented than what we saw in 23
- The game felt (slightly) less cheesy than previous versions. Plays which were never viable in 23 actually had the occasional chance of working here
Of course there was also the bad:
- Presentation continues to be dreadful
- Every update made things worse. Constantly updating sliders was a must
- Most games felt the same and on rails. The franchise continuously fails to capture the unpredictability that makes the sport special
I don't plat MUT so won't comment on that shitshow - so overall, a serviceable instalment which met my low expectations
