DualShockers writes, "To understand where this review is going, we need to remember where Madden has been. The series has come along way since that infamous target render during the 2005 NFL Draft and last year managed to surpass even those expectations. So what do you do, when you have reached the pinnacle of football video game greatness? Well if you ask EA Tiburon, you completely re-think the way the game is played making it more accessible to everyone but at the same time making it the most enjoyable football experience yet. Read on to find out just how this was done."
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"

I liked the demo to this a lot, it brought back a lot of Madden memories, looking forward to seeing how the game has turned out but judging by the review it seems like it turned out pretty good.
Drew Brees is the future of the NFL...
another lame ass sports game.
Good review. I thought last year's Madden was good - been hearing better things about this one. I might just pick this one up. :)
One of the things that appealed to me from last years - which I hope they did this year - was the training camp they had. Not that I need it, but I felt that it was a great way to get newcomers familiarized with the system and gameplay.
If they even improved upon what they did last year, that is a good thing, since last year's was pretty hot.
