Calling Mut 24 coins the "worst" football game ever may have been extreme, but the new Madden game certainly isn't making any critical waves. The PS5 version of Madden NFL 24 is currently sitting at a 68 score on Metacritic. That's the same score that Madden NFL 24 received for the PS5. funnily enough.
While it's notable that an NFL star with a Super Bowl ring is willing to publicly call out the quality of Madden NFL 24 on social media, without further context this is just one man's opinion on the game. Perhaps Hardman Jr. just had a bad match and was feeling especially negative, or perhaps Hardman Jr. has a robust opinion on what EA needs to do to improve the Madden franchise going forward. Either way, EA probably won't be giving Hardman Jr. any more Madden codes to give out to his followers.
Madden 24's release signals that a new NFL season is about to begin. Ultimate Team is a mode that is a large part of Electronic Arts' sports title offerings, and is the mode played most by both Madden and FIFA players alike. It provides players with a landscape in which they can build a dream roster of their favorite players.
The offense often gets the spotlight as most NFL fans love seeing touchdowns, but great defensives are what often lead to actual record and playoff success. Players looking to shut down opponents will need to know and acquire the best defenders Madden 24's Ultimate Team mode has to offer.
Aaron Donald still reigns supreme as the best football player in the entirety of the NFL. If he retired tomorrow, he'd already be a lock as a first-ballot Hall of Famer. His resume is incredible, especially when considering he mostly lines up as an interior defensive lineman.
As expected, he played a pivotal role in the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl run last season madden 24 mut coins, which culminated in #99 raising the Lombardi trophy. An 88 overall card in Madden 24's Ultimate Team may sound a bit disrespectful for a player of Donald's caliber, but it's not as if he won't see numerous other cards hit the mode during the season that all land in the 90s.
