    Value for money is a great thing to evaluate in a review, and the simulation of the sport has seen an increase in bugs in recent years, hence the lower scores.

      This is a ridiculous lie. It’s not even in the general vicinity of reality.

      The absolute best mainstream review of Madden in existence is a many times less competent version of that platformer review where the guy couldn’t get through the tutorial. You unconditionally are not qualified to give any opinion in any context if you don’t understand the mechanics and strategy of the sport.

        Fine. I don’t play Madden. But I know with the sources I follow on games news, this is what gets echoed back. Giant Bomb does a quick look for the game, say up front that they don’t expect to get through it without encountering bugs, and then they encounter bugs. The kinds of bugs you’d recognize no matter how into football you are.

        EDIT: Yup, bugs are mentioned in many reviews for the last several years of Madden. Seems to be the reality.
