They’ve merged their game pass with Microsoft’s game pass because they know their product can’t sell itself anymore. NHL is garbage. Battlefield, trash. I truly believe that EA is still in business because of their monopoly on the NFL over the last 15 years. the graphics have improved over the years, but the gameplay is so much worse than ever imo. I’ll get it on GameFly every year, remake the Bills roster/rating because EA is so clueless, play a handful of game and mail it back within 2 weeks. Expand In fairness, the $10 per month gives access to the entire library of game. There's a couple hundred games... Madden and FIFA are the only two I have interest in at this point. And I don't have any other use for buying a PS whatever or X-Box.
Dr.Sack Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Arm Strength Allen is 99. No accuracy or awareness boost?

He is the 20th ranked QB in the league. Cam Newton has gone up 3 points already (81). Keap is an 81 and hasn’t played in 4 years. They also hate on Wentz and Prescott too. Expand TCMA, that is such BS. Edit: for clarification, brother, you are not BS, the ratings are. 😂 they had roster updates after week 1 and Allen should have gotten a point after that week, too. Weirdly, I could maybe live with a 79, f they were consistent with his progress, which they are not. Proof positive to that point being Cam’s increase you mentioned above.

Rc2, I’ve notice that for the last two years. Expand Depends the position. Morse, Hyde and Poyer are all top 10 at their spots. White is #4 CB I think, could be higher but that’s still understandable. Diggs is top 5, I think he’s a 93 now. Basically, where Madden hasn’t shown Josh much love, they’ve shown love to Diggs (93), Brown (83), Beasley (83), and Davis (70). Bills are tied for the best WRs in the game 2

I am with everyone else here in being irritated by the lack of ratings boost for Allen. In my opinion, he should have gotten bumped to 80. That seems fair to me. On the other hand, even with his ratings just as they are now, I do pretty well online controlling the Bills. He has 1-3 bad misses per game for me, but then, that's pretty reflective of how Allen actually plays! Diggs is absolutely, positively dominant in this game. It's beyond easy to rack up receiving yards with him. Likewise, Tre White is a beast. I always use the coaching adjustments to select "matchup based on overall ratings" to ensure that White follows the opponent's best receiver around. White and Diggs are winning me games, man. *Edit* And yes, I agree with everyone else that Madden, in general, has suffered from the lack of competition and has gone downhill. I, too, wish 2Ksports was still allowed to make simulation NFL games. They're not, though, so I really only have one choice if I want to play video game football. That being the case, I try not to worry myself too much about it and to just enjoy the game. Even with its deficiencies, it's still MILES ahead of what we were playing 10 and 20 years ago.

Expand I think 80 would be absolutely fair, if he can light up the Rams he may get it. The Bills are tied for the best WRs, that may also be why he doesn’t shoot up the OVR standings yet.

Dragoon Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Allen sucks because he’s a Bill. Y’all keep forgetting that. Not my opinion, but it is EAs.
CLTbills Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Way too many grown adults worry way too much about player ratings on a video game. 1

He is awful in madden. Expand I have alot of success with Buffalo as a whole in Madden. With his arm power he can make some tough throws and then mixing in some running from him ,makes him a good QB. Should be very good, at least an 82 -84. Diggs also went up 1 point to a 93. Brown went up 1 too an 83 as well. Motor is an 83 I believe. Anyway, I'm 7-3 online and only using Buffalo.
bigK14094 Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Small market Bills players will always be underrated. More important to sell your product in big markets. Slant to make money....

Doc Brown Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 He needs to do it against good teams. Luckily, we play plenty of them this season. Relax.

They have had the EXACT same franchise for years in certain aspects. Generally as the bills it’s time for a new stadium.
