Recently I resubed to EA access and I saw they had some of the old madden games I could download for free, so I did. I really just wanted to see how younger me used to play, and not only was it cool to see but it reminded how many things we used to be able to do that are now gone. Madden 15 really seemed like I was run heavy but that’s back when run blocking actually worked 😂😂😂 but I had flashback Peyton Hillis (shout out to dukethekilla we miss you) paired with flashback Reggie Bush (smash and dash) and had the Minnesota moving company for the o-line and at QB I had the 99 speed Tom Brady what were they thinking 😂😂😂. Madden 16 I had the Bills offensive playbook that had a pistols set they let you set WR5 or WR6 at QB, and I never had a QB that year I used combos of Flashback Josh Cribbs, Brad Smith, Isaiah Stanback, and Antwwan Randel El that package was great because the could audible and make hot routes. Probably my favorite feature was wide recovers could be put in the TE spot( Dez Bryant madden 15, 16 was the original Evan Ingram ) I used to run the likes of Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Vincent Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Mike Evans, Maurice Stovall, Chris Matthews (remember him Seahawks fans), Kelvin Benjamin, and many more. You were able to put defensive players on offense and offensive players on defense, and I feel like they took a lot of the strategy, gamplaning, individuality, uniqueness, and just the fun out of MUT and madden in general, I feel like they simplified and made copy cating and cookie cutter teams a thing, EA basically took running the ball out of the equation (unless your QB is Vick and in all likelihood it is because everyone uses Vick again copy cat) and just made it here are your WRs that’s all they are nothing else here’s a pass play they run a vertical route and you will score. Like I honestly know if EA were to take Madden 20 and go back to the grass roots of MUT give us back full control of players, playbooks, playbooks set, balanced the game between rushing and passing went back to the days of Madden 05 to Madden 10 you would see not only a huge skill gap develop again but you hardcore fan base would be happy. Sorry if this post is all over the place but it’s 6 in the morning I’m a little drunk and feeling ranty.
