Longshot last year was a fantastic, well-written, tightly focused, football-based adventure game where the player's decisions, knowledge of football, and comfort with the core Madden mechanics mattered.
Longshot this year was like a bad movie, with the new characters poorly developed, the returning characters marginalized (Devin) or deformed beyond recognition (Colt), minimal meaningful player interaction, no actual choices, and only occasional flashes of genuine emotion. It almost felt like an excuse for killing off the mode, which would be a mercy if we're going to see more like it.
