This "pay to win" money waster disguised as a game mode is just another unhealthy way to gamble away gobs of money every year. Let's let that sink in.$800 million dollars. Unfortunately this disease rakes in now $800 million dollars annually. And unfortunately part of the "typical EA stuff" is the disease called Ultimate Team (Madden Ultimate Team and Fifa Ultimate Team). Sports gaming as a whole has sucked since exclusive deals.Īgreed Gordo. Once again, 2K did it better as far back as 2K10, though, again unfortunately, no PC version like there was for baseball. Ardent hockey fans continually bring up the same problems over and over again about EA's hockey iterations. It sucks that they never jumped into the PC arena back then. This is why people still play 2K's ESPN NFL 2K5 with updated rosters. Samsung's exploding phone batteries in 2016 game companies releasing beta versions and patching the hell out of it for months or 's numerous recalls of their vehicles because they couldn't take the time to get it right the first time, all make the consumer lose confidence in anything they buy or invest in anymore. But it amazes me that these billion dollar monolith companies constantly trot out product that has not been viably beta tested over and over and over.
Madden and FIFA both use the Frostbite engine, so there's no excuse for them to screw this up.Įven though many people are returning/refunding this game in large numbers I'll try to be patient and hopefully a couple of patches will fix everything and all the problems can be a distant memory. My gaming PC can run that game at Max settings and I can run other EA titles like Battlefield 1 and Star Wars Battlefront II at Ultra settings. The Madden team has no excuse because their soccer franchise (FIFA) is phenomenal (IMO) on PC. This irritates me because I thought that getting Madden back on PC could more easily pave the way for a return of NHL and of course Baseball back to PC that is, if Madden is successful. I have no clue why they would rush this game I mean, they have NO competition. I check the EA Sports message boards for Technical Issues daily to wait but it's evident that this game was broken from the start and likely rushed out the door. Also, there's too much inconsistency with daytime lighting for 1:oo pm games: I posted my screenshots on this Operation Sports thread and you can see them halfway down. I'm gonna try and be positive about this because I think if that stuttering issue gets rectified this game will run silky smooth and I will actually enjoy it.
MADDEN 19 PC REVIEW PATCH
Allegedly this will be fixed with a patch maybe next week.
MADDEN 19 PC REVIEW 1080P
The graphics stuttering is so bad that I have to play the game at 1080p rather than 1440p. The audio stuttering is so bad I have to turn commentary volume to zero and crowd volume down to about 10 (out of 100). My issues are that I get a ridiculous amount audio and graphics stutter when playing the game and I've had to uninstall/re-install the game 3 times because it would not load/start from Origin. What I do take offense to (from EA) is that I expect a game that ships with basic functionality that works for a large variety of users, especially with a port to PC game that hadn't been done in over 10 years. With a bit of practice and slider tweaks I can always get it going rather quickly to where it's enjoyable. I'm a open-minded and patient guy and I don't worry too much about the AI of the game, how good the CPU's LBs are or my passing game. I bought it on release day (last Friday) and it's broken out of the box, a beta version, a sh*t show whatever you want to call it.
I wanted to give you guys and anyone interested a heads-up on Madden 19 PC.
