Madden NFL 22

Madden NFL 22

Do you like NFL Football? This game is for you. The blown calls by refs, the absence of gritty plays, the suspicion that it is all rigged. This game has it all. What’s that? Derrick Henry’s knee was down 10 yards ago and remained down but somehow the game doesn’t recognize it? BOOM WE CALL THAT A FEATURE HERE. Oh you don’t like that the guy you’re playing only runs exploited quick slants every down and spends all but 5 seconds of the play clock doing fake audibles? SORRY I GUESS YOU HATE REAL FOOTBALL. Oh you like the Chicago Bears and are excited about the new rookie QB (IDK HIS NAME AND NEITHER DOES MADDEN)? THAT’S COOL HERE IS A RANDOM COMMENT ABOUT THE 4TH STRING WR BEING AN OLYMPIC ATHLETE THAT’S THE ONLY RESEARCH WE DID FOR THAT TEAM. If all this isn’t enough to perk up your pricker then maybe try the uninspiring original soundtrack for the game! GONE IS GREENDAY, CHEVELLE, ANY GOOD ROCK OR CERTIFIED GANGSTER BEATS. WE GOT SOFT, FORCED FOOTBALL RELATED ORIGINAL BEATS. WE DON’T EVEN HAVE SAM SPENCE TRACKS.

I enjoy Madden, I play the franchise mode specifically a lot. That being said after 20+ hours I’ve yet to be capable of playing more then one game at a time before the game freezes indefinitely, either as a head coach or a player. The only issue I’ve come across is the game freezing on me. Whether it be after choosing the first play of the game, while i’m loading into the game, setting up my weekly game plan or just navigating the menu. I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone trying to maintain sanity until a solution to my predicament and to the other disabling issues other customers are facing is presented and put in place.

If you’re looking for a realistic football simulating video game that gives you a half-way authentic NFL experience….keep looking. This year’s installment of the annual abortion that is Madden is BRIMMING with impactful bugs, scarily consistent crashes, and (assuming you’ve successfully navigated thru all of that) an entirely bland and unsatisfying simulation of the typical NFL game. Not only has this game been horribly adapted to PC, but it is entirely consistent with it’s long line of predecessors. The gameplay can only be described as “The Game of Football” according to what a native resident of Bangladesh heard of American Football was like from his Pen Pal in Saudi Arabia. Yes, you are technically running and passing the football against some character models that vaguely resemble (that’s an understatement…there’s really 0 resemblance among all of the players) NFL athletes, but the comparison to how a normal game of football plays out stops there abruptly. Without wildly changing the “Gameplay Sliders” (yes you can literally alter everything about the gameplay which to me is the Devs admitting “hey we really don’t know how impactful any aspect of this sport is so we’ll let you figure out that little detail) the game is wholly inauthentic. Adjusting the sliders makes the game a tad more realistic but overall this title is the epitome of why Madden is one of the shining examples of bare minimum effort put into a game for the sake of raking in annual sales. If you’re not one of the chumps like me who bought this game I implore you not to. The only way these games can become even halfway realistic is if EA takes a hit to their sales and recognizes that minimal investment will yield minimal return.

For years, football fans have yearned for a game with NFL licensing made by any company other than EA. The most cited competitor is generally 2K, who last made an NFL licensed game in 2004 - ESPN NFL 2K5 - one of the most well-received sports games of all time. ESPN NFL 2K5 was almost the nail in the coffin for Madden. The game received more critical acclaim than Madden 2005, while being priced $30 cheaper at a mere $20. I received the game as a Christmas gift that year, and played it for hundreds, if not thousands of hours. I can attest that its ambitions even 16 years ago were way beyond the scope of anything Madden has done since then. It is truly a tragedy for someone like me, who saw so much potential in football games back then, to see what football games have become today.

First FIFA game i’ve played for a while. Full of little bugs in career mode, like academy players who have been in my team for 3 years acting like they just got on the team, or not having shirt numbers etc. But the killer for me is how terrible my other players are once you play in the higher difficulties. The other team will have 6 in my box while my midfielders stand still around the outside leaving my defenders to 4v6. If i want a player to make a tackle I have to be controlling it, which is massively infuriating when for some reason 3 of my players surround the ball carrier and I miss my tackle and they just run through the other two unchallenged. Essentially its hard for the wrong reasons, and its full of little bugs that just come off as lazy.

Now, let me first say that I will probably still play this for another week or two and then I will uninstall it and move on.

This game is horrible. Please, don’t waste your time or money here. Go play anything else, it is not worth it.

Let me explain:

  • Computer matches are super boring. Higher difficulty just means AI keeps passing the ball around for a long time and you won’t ever take it until they get close to your box where they will make mistakes. Easier difficulty is just way too easy since AI takes forever to react.

A lot of potential. But it still needs a lot of work to be done.

-dribbling needs to be more smooth

-NPC need to react more teambased

-playing the ball should get more precise

-you should be able to combine plays with the teammates

But I am looking forward to future patches.

*** Play it Your Way ***

I have been placing the Axis Football series on my wish list for a while now. This year, I decided to check it out. I’m glad I did. It fits my play style and my creative thinking perfectly.

My way of playing this type of game is like owning my own team, and being the coach. You can play it normally, play call and watch in coach mode, spectate, or simulate if you wish. I prefer coach mode personally. I also like to spectate the other teams games in a week because I find it interesting. I’m never really in a rush, either.

BLUF (Bottom Line Up front)

If you like to manage a team in franchise mode (Like a GM), spectate games, customize/create uniforms Axis Football 2021 is solid and i highly recommend. If you are still playing 2004-2008 version football games by a “cough cough” developer, and enjoyed that versions franchise play, this one does many things better, some things so so and some still need work. The things it improves on outweighs the bugs in my opinion (may not be for everyone)

NOTE: dont let the number of “-” scare you, i am just trying to give the best feedback in hopes the DEVs will take it and make the improvements i am looking for. It just shows you how much i do enjoy the game and took time to write this out.

I’ve been searching for a good coaching/front office football game for quite a while.

I know a lot of people buy this to play Madden style, controlling the players in the field but that’s not me. So bear that in mind. There are a few good games that allow you build a dynasty from the front office, but they don’t have any in game graphics and most players just sim their games quickly. There are other games that look almost like a game on TV, but the franchise aspects of play are disappointing. Can Axis football straddle the gap and do things well on both sides of the fence. I think so.

This is now the sixth edition of the series (I have purchased all of them except the first 2015 edition) and needs to be reviewed accordingly (the free grace/free pass period is over). If this was the 2017 edition, I am sure most would be extremely excited about the game’s future - however, it is not. It is now 2020. So where are we at then?

Cut to the chase:

I play coach-mode and spectate (I don’t control players on-field) - I like to play as a strategy game (coach & GM) and enjoy also being part of a living, breathing league (so I like to watch other teams' games as well throughout the season) - and my review will be from this point of view.

AFL Evolution 2

AFL Evolution 2

Alright firstly,

Massive improvement from the first evolution, i feel like the gameplay is very fair and if you mess up a marking contest it’s genuinely your fault. So good job from a gameplay stand point which is the reason i very much like this game.

HOWEVER…

Wicked Witch seem to just brush past some major details about this game where it seems like no effort was put in whatsoever. Here’s a list of those:

1, Commentating is even worse than evolution 1 the audio is pieced together so poorly it’s hard to listen to, also one player from the saints, hannenbury doesn’t even have his name called when he gets possession or kicks a goal, it just says. “great goal from….” as in he doesnt say the name. I think the commentating was honestly better on afl 2006 for the PS2, how is that possible?

I like this game. I’m a footy fan and decided to get this cause of the fact that I can change guernsey numbers for players. There are some suggestions I would make. I’d love to see them implemeted but it doesn’t bother me too much.

  • I’d like to be able to outright delist players in coach career mode. Even if they are on a contract (If they are, make me pay out the rest of the contract’s money or something) Perhaps I just don’t know how to do this. If so I’d like to be enlightened.

  • Please put in the Australian anthem that they use in real life AFL finals. That would be nice. Understandable if you can’t cause of legal reasons. This version is shit though.
