Its beyond time for madden to improve stat tracking and player grading. Its 2026 for god sakes.
They did the whole "advanced stats" gimmick that lasted like 2 years and didn't change anything about the game except having an overlay on instant replays, but that's not what im talking about.
They have a pressure system in the game, noting when a closing defender forces a bad or hurried pass from the QB, yet they don't attribute this stat to the defender. They have a knockout system and yet only judge DBs by the amount of interceptions they get each year, not by opposing QBR, or amount targeted or anything else. They have a win and superwin system for DE's and OL's but pancakes and sacks allowed are still the only stat for O-linemen and have been for years.
I know its too soon for madden 27, but for madden 28 this has to change. It makes no sense that the real game of football, which is a hell of a lot harder to quantify, has these advanced metrics, yet a computer game where wins/losses on a particular play literally have a dice roll outcome that can be tracked doesn't.
Let's get into the modern era EA. Let me judge my players for how they are performing on a play by play basis, instead of just the highlight reel stuff.
