As a Packer fan, I'm pretty upset they removed the crowd celebration. Almost after every TD most players would always go for the Lambeau Leap

[KingKel]

For 2 maddens now, they have taken away the ability to read matchups presnap. I miss being able to see how tall a recevier was over his corner and if he had enough route running ability to get open.

"Sapien technology". I worked on this game for 3 seasons, and it never ceased to amaze me the buzz words producers would come up with to pass off basic things as if they were huge tech leaps, and they're still doing it today, smh. Man, putting this into perspective, it took them 18 years to fix the obvious skeletal misalignment, and they have the audacity to pump it up like a big tech advancement because they know gamers don't know better. Ridiculous.

I have strong doubts that had any effect on removing fans, because those are cutscenes based on scene puppetry tech they built during the Madden 10 dev cycle and the rigging is different for that. They're doing what they always do: remove instead of improve, re-introduce years later, and call it "new". Mark my words.

Not being able to celebrate wit the crowd makes me mad asf idk why

[JohnSmith-bwqs]

The crowd noise is way off for something they were emphasizing. You don’t here the team specific chants like J—E-T-S Jets in MetLife on Next Gen. Funny enough it is on the old Gen ‘24.

Eric spot on with all of these exclusions. I really don’t like not having the presentation features like Next Gen Stats and or Super Fan crowd shots. In a game that was already sparse in presentation features I feel the lack of immerse takes away from the gameplay experience. I hope EA adds all of these presentation features that you called out in an update because as I saw mentioned in a review, Madden 24 feels like a “soulless” game.

I like watching the cinematics before or even longer ones after the game, I like to see all the stars I’m about to play and stuff. I personally like cut scenes

[BarryH]

They don't show much sideline cuts of the head coaches anymore which is ridiculous

[TexSupport]

EA cut so many corners, its become a circle. Or maybe a zero, as in zero effort put into it.

[Justin-kjsv]

Don’t worry they will bring these things back as NEW FEATURES in madden 26

[thefitgurutv]

In respects to the last removal, and I’ve always said this about EA: They need to take a hard stance on whether or not they’re making Madden to appeal to people who go to the games, those who watch on television, the players who play, a promotional tool for the league, or for gamers who simply want to reenact professional football. Can’t cater to everyone.

[ZackaryArmstrong]

I miss the pump up the crowd feature. Seeing your players raising their arms and the crowd yelling louder. The crowd is dead.

[Scroodyy]

Going into the crowd on a touchdown was my go to damn man

[poketitan]

It's the not letting us "pump up" the crowd on defense for me.

[LoopGawdTV]

i recently started playing 2K's College Hoops 2k8. They had a whole 10 minute season preview show where they discussed the entire top 10 teams in the nation, and discussed in detail the pre-season all American team 1-5. Every week they have a Week in Review where they gave updates about what was going on during your franchise. And after every game, there was break down and analysis of the game you just played. I just dont get why cant we get that level of detail in 2024

[ItsDemetris]

I wish they would do a field update when you wear the throwbacks

[STEELCURTAIN]

I miss the half time show they use to have, I thing it was from Madden 2010-2012 in franchise mode

[loganmichael]

Another small thing i noticed was that they removed the stadium videos that play on the video boards and now each team has the same graphic.

[FunnyAndOriginalUsername]

EA removing the Lambeau leap is criminal

[ThomasRoyr]

Eric, I am upset that the helmet reflections are inaccurate when playing in the Superdome. I always loved how the “ring” of lights would reflect on the helmets. It would look so realistic even in past Maddens. It’s simply gone and it is not accurate at all. I’m guessing around M19 or 20, it changed. Have you noticed this? It may seem picky but they do strive for accuracy on small details and it’s just not right that it’s gone. ⚜️

I think you're right on with the Sapien Technology and the crowd celebrations, super fan and other things that all go along with being difficult to do in new technology migrating from old technology. Being a person that works in the computer industry, I understand that. I have only played Madden 24 once (I'm a collector so I get the game and play it deeper much later than most) However, I keep up with additions, upgrades, changes, etc through yours and other's videos on YouTube and articles and such through other media. So, knowing a little bit about how programmers "schedule" and add to, and upgrade and migrate from old to new technologies, it make sense that some stuff isn't there. I DO wish EA had been a bit more transparent about that but, from a business standpoint and marketing and sales, I guess you have to be careful what you say because sales may take a hit if players come in knowing something's not there. They MAY bring some stuff back like what you stated and I hope that they do and settle on an engine that can hold all the stuff for a while and, maybe in a few years, start over with what would be better technology. I think that's what we're seeing here though. They've improved the game but there may be some things that had to be let go for a short time or till the next version so that there's time to incorporate it. Thanks for your videos, Eric. You're AWESOME!!!!
