EA Sports Releases Free-To-Play Madden NFL 25 for iOS

[HarryWarden]

I used to really enjoy playing games on iOS but because of the prevalence of this style of game, I pretty much have stopped gaming on the platform because it makes it so unattractive. Paying for certain plays? LOL, you've gotta be kidding. I'd rather pay more upfront and have the complete game than this crap.

EA + iap = unplayable.

I remember playing NLF on the megadrive and not having a damn clue what was going on at all.

Probably because you were playing NLF and not NFL.

Skipped Real Racing 3 and will skip this one. I really hope EA will return to the classic payment model.

I saw TouchArcade's review on this - devastatingly brutal. It's lot more "Madden Social" than it is an upgrade to "Madden '13", and it's all about IAP and timers. What's worse, the "card" system means that getting better cards matters as much, if not more, than player skill in determining results.

Pass... or in this case, punt.

Wow what a joke. It doesn't surprise me that EA has gone this way. Charge you for everything in the game - including plays and individual teams. Time to find a hack just to show EA.
