00:00 Football fans will agree, Madden is a terrific series of games, and for the most part, it's
00:06 improved with every reincarnation.
00:08 Slowly and steadily, EA Sports has taken steps towards more realistic animations, immersive
00:13 gameplay and most importantly, endless replayability.
00:17 Whether Madden NFL 24 is no exception, well, that's up for debate.
00:22 It's not perfect, maybe it never will be.
00:24 IGN reports that while several notable improvements have been made since the last installation,
00:30 it still feels like what the series has been known for in recent years.
00:34 A great on-field experience desperately searching for a way to make everything else work.
00:40 According to GameSpot, if a football fan only wants to know whether this year's gameplay
00:44 is better than last year's on the field, it surely does, but the problems Madden 24
00:50 faces are emblematic of its legacy.
00:52 A long history of backtracking to old features, and this is far from the first time that features
00:58 were introduced, removed, and later revived.
01:01 It's as plain as day.
01:02 The biggest hindrance to the game is the yearly nature of the series.
01:07 Developers are hard at work trying to reinvigorate Madden with each new release, but what both
01:12 the game and its fans really need is a ground-up refresh.
01:17 Hopefully that will happen, but honestly, it might be a while.
