I had low expectations for this game, but I have been very surprised how good it is. Gameplay is spot on very good and a lot of fun. Each golf course really does play different with 30 courses is great. The game has a lot of depth with career mode, many challenges and daily, weekly, and monthly tournaments. Career mode is great with your created player you can upgrade R.P.G. style like past EA games from the 2000’s. Graphics look amazing, and the courses look great and lots of detail. Best golf game graphics ever. There are a few downsides like private match needs more options. I played online with a buddy and it was fun we played 2 courses with no disconnect or issue at all. Just hope they will update with more options beside only having stroke play in private matches. No play to win mechanics and playing tournaments and challenges gives you a lot of coins to use for gear. If online private matches were updated and 60 FPS update which is coming and maybe a few more courses and a few more golfers this would be a 10. Hopefully they will update a few things which I am hopeful they will. I have not regretted buying at all. This game is a lot of fun!

I bought GT Sport at release as I'm a huge Gran Turismo fan. I started playing GT2 in the late 90's and I love the Gran Turismo series. At first I was not too excited as it's mostly pushed to race online and I liked Gran Turismo for the career mode. The online racing is good and after many updates I think the penalty system is very good. I just wish there was a way to report bad users but the bad users do suffer from penalties and a bad sportsmanship rating which helps kick them out of your class eventually. No voice chat in the race lobbies is a bad omission also which makes no sense with this generation. The graphics are amazing, racing physics are great. this feels like a Gran Turismo game if you like the series you will enjoy this game. After years of update this is well polished with so many tracks and cars. If you buy now which is always under $20 you getting a steal for your money. The career mode now exist in GT League but is still a bit shallow and was an afterthought. If it had a better career mode it would be a 10. Looking forward to Gran Turismo 7.

NASCAR Heat 4 makes improvements on the racing physics but doesn’t meet the standards of current racing games. On PS4 each track has a glitch where the screen freezes for a half a second on turn one and turn four. It is very jarring when playing a racing game. I have also noticed screen tearing which I have never seen on a PS4 or Xbox One racing game ever. It is 30fps on PS4 with motion blur added for the feel of speed but it just doesn’t look good. I’m spoiled from playing GT Sport 60 fps and Forza 60 fps..even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch runs at a smooth 60 fps. In career mode the last two cars always catch up with me with about two laps to go and then slow way down just in front of me and I have no way of catching them. It’s very strange not realistic at all and not fun, it feels like work. Career mode in the shop feels like a mobile game. Picking your engineer and suspension mechanics is cool but it’s just a stock photo of random people no real presentation of a shop atmosphere just photos not even images of cars. NASCAR Heat I think has a ways to go to get the quality of the EA games in the past. I hope they just wait to release the next game February of 2021 with the beginning of the NASCAR season at Daytona. The DLC every year to get the next years drivers seems like a waste of time for the developers.

NASCAR Heat 5 makes small but important updates to the previous Heat 4. Many reviews say it’s copy and paste no changes from Heat 4 but for me on the PlayStation platform this s not the case. Heat 5 on performance mode on PS4 Pro or PS5 runs great. I played 20 hours of Heat 4 and at this point 10 hours on Heat 5. Cars look great better chase camera and gameplay is fun more arcade than simulation but it feels great to play. Tracks look great even at high speed. Heat 4 Charlotte had very bad frame rate and motion blur. I tested on Heat 5 and this was completely fixed and ran and looked great. The A.I. drivers are much more fun to race against and use multiple lines on each track and they even race for position. Drafting with the A.I. is great also on Super-speedways. Custom car setups are great as they were in heat 4 also using the new Test Session mode is very nice to run your car and setup at any track is a great addition. Career mode is good as it was in Heat 4 but needs improvement. I wish career mode had options as an owner to add more cars to your team and drivers to your team. I wish you could buy out a race team like Hendricks or Gibbs. It would also be great to hire drivers you want to drive your cars and give them a contract and a rating for each driver similar to a PGA or Madden games where each driver has a rating up to 99 overall. Race day and track presentation needs work. NASCAR 15 had race intro's with Darrell Waltrip and Mike Joy and that was great. Split Screen with a friend is great and is fun. Challenges are a lot of fun with real race scenarios from previous races. Online multiplayer is fun with a good community and plenty of people to race with. In my opinion this the best iteration of a NASCAR game for this generation. Also as of lately the game is on sale for $15 or less! Great deal for your money. Needs improvement but overall a solid NASCAR Game.

One of the best if not THE Best Racing game ever! I love the Gran Turismo series and have played racing games for 30 years. Everyone I followed or talked to said if you like racing games and if you don't like racing games you will love Forza 4. Just play it or buy it outright the developers did an amazing job. Seasons do change everything. Playing through races and the open world in different seasons is great. I love how they kept the customization of upgrading your ride and paint booth plus you can just buy other set ups or designs/paint jobs from other users for in game currency. I love Gran Turismo games but Forza has not made me miss them very much. It's my go to racing game. It's not as much as a simulator as Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport but I can't tell a big difference using a controller. The open world is great for coming up with race tracks and the rally tracks throughout the landscape plus you can create your own race in a section of the map to be whatever you want it to be. This is great. Music stations are great and have good songs. Even if you don't like racing games or just want to try one out this is for you. It's a blast, you don't even have to race you can just cruise around.

I’ve played Madden since 1996. This years game showed promise but still is a disappointment in some ways. One edition I like about this years edition is with the defensive line power moves. This is an upgrade to me as I always enjoy playing and defense linemen or blitzing linebackers. It works well and feels true to life. Kinda like a game within a game similar to a defense and offense linemen every snap. Gameplay is good like last year and players move on the field quicker. Graphics as always look amazing. Better than ever this generation. The Yard was added it's ok i don't play it. The Bad: All the music is rap and nothing else. Even in the stadiums all the loudspeakers play is rap at timeouts or in between plays. This is not true to life. What about Ozzy singing Crazy Train? GnR? Jump Around? The Packers touchdown celebration song is Bang on a drum all day that was in Madden 25 and was great. That’s not the song that plays, it's some random Rap song plays. Why not contact and confirm all 32 teams touchdown celebration songs and stadiums celebration? Go Pack Go fan chant in the stadium sounds more realistic but that’s about it. I miss the option for the Sam Spence NFL films music. So I just shut off the music and make my own playlist on Spotify. Franchise should be deeper glad they are working on it. Super Bowl celebration is poor needs updated. My Wish List: The micro transactions are crazy, this needs to stop. I have to grind a lot of MUT scenarios to get one player that is 77 Overall but then I can do upgrades? Just make a great player 88-99 Overall and call it a day. You can buy Randy "Moss" clothes for the Yard cost $18?! Not cool. Not much else to do in the franchise mode on release. #fixmaddenfranchise worked for us fans but why do we have to still tell you what we want in this game? Put refs back on the field, no way to pump up the crowd as a player on defense is a sad omission bring it back. Better commentary or real commentators. Give me back Jim Nantz and bring in Tony Romo. Shoot bring back John Madden to comment on some plays record his voice one last time in super high quality or go back and get his voice recordings as a third commentator! Give us commentary options of Fox, CBS, NBC, or ESPN broadcast with the actual commentators from those networks. Give us different options of commentators we like. They make enough off this game to pay the right people to get that full game day immersion. A live weather implementation would be great, I'm in Wisconsin and if it's a snowy-day it would be great to play the game and have the same weather conditions currently in Green Bay. Even dynamic weather, this is already in racing games. Especially if you are playing a 3 hour football game the weather should change with wind, rain, or snow. Even add the sun setting. NCAA 14 had this option in 2013 a PS3 game. I wish there were classic teams like in the PS2 days. NBA 2K has this. I can be the 93 Chicago Bulls and play as Michael Jordan or I can choose all time Lakers and play as Magic and Kareem. Why can’t I choose 96 Packers and play as Brett Favre or Reggie White or play as the 1966 Packers as Bart Star? I could do this in Madden 07 on PS2 but not ever since. They have the players association and classic player cards in MUT why can’t these players-historic team be in exhibition mode like NBA 2K? Bring back players history in the stats. There is no option to see who a players previous team was and what there stats were on that team. This was in previous games also. Add assistant coaches and have the option for retired players to be coaches. Have a coaching carousel. This is now in NHL 20 and is very good why can't it be in Madden? Bring back Mini Camp/Training. This was a fun mode on the PS2 you could do rushing attack, LB tackling, DL rush and Sack, CB interception/swat, Passing Drills with your QB's, WR drills it was great! Then whichever player you used in the drills you could upgrade a few points to areas where they need improvement. This would be great to be able to do every week in the franchise mode so I can upgrade my team by spending time with each player on things they need to improve like true NFL football. I think EA needs to use an open world engine and dump Frostbite engine as it was made for first person **** simulation third person football. Overall I am kinda sad at all the features they have taken away throughout the years. Madden 2005 had more franchise features and again NCAA 14 had a lot more details and more immersion that is just not here. Why take so much out **** when each year the expectation is that you will add MORE features not less? The game is fun fir me as a NFL football game. To each their own if you don’t like it as much. If they had my wish list which is very possible this game would be a 10. But it most likely will not for years to come and on next generation consoles.

I have played Madden since 1996 I care about the Madden franchise. I think a true review needs time to marinade and wait until the final product is out. QB1 Face of the Franchise is a good game mode but I wish it was deeper like NBA2k. I don't see my money I’ve earned while playing as a starting QB. I don't have a place to live or decisions to make. My character is constantly in the locker room on his phone. The graphics are the best ever I've ever saw in Madden. I know the PS2 games are considered the best and I agree but a great looking game will always catch eyes much better than a PS2 game. The gameplay is the best on this generation in my opinion. I've played Madden 25 and others but I truly think this gameplay is very good. There is still bugs but the QB can actually throw over LB now. RB's can actually gain yards and break away to the second or third level. At first the refs would give the call backwards not even facing the camera and I was upset about this because it really pulls you out of the immersion. This has now been fixed with a patch thanks to my tweet and input. My WR scored a TD and the announcers said "Touchdown" yet the game did not give me a TD. This is on my YouTube channel for proof, this has also now been fixed but how do you let that go on a football game? The whole point of the game is to cross the goal line. How is this still a bug in 2019? The blocking was bad at first. Now we have X factors on the O Line which is great. BTW X factor is a great addition and lot's of fun for an arcade experience but I don't think it works for simulation football? Players don't get stronger when playing better. But I do get being hot for some games. Now in pre-snap you can tell the O line to double block a defender. HUGE improvement that I don't think has ever been in a game before. Playing as Aaron Rodgers and telling the O line to double team Khalil Mack feels very realistic. Pro Bowl is back and that's good but why was it ever removed? Being able to play the Pro Bowl at anytime is fun with friends who just want to play an all star game. Glad there is some college football. It would be great to implement both into one game in the future. It is fun, I'm enjoying myself playing this game and I do have fun. But not much else to do in the franchise. The bad is no refs on the field, no way to pump up the crowd as a player on defense for the first time in 15 years...this is a sad omission that I hope they bring back, I wish I could import a playbook from a previous game. A true weather implementation would be great, I'm in Wisconsin and if it's a snowy-day it would be great to play the game and have the same weather currently in Green Bay. NCAA 14 had this option in 2013 PS3 game. I wish there were classic teams like in the PS2 days. NBA 2K has this. I can be the 93 Chicago Bulls and play as Michael Jordan or I can choose all time Bulls. Why can’t I choose 96 Packers and play as Brett Favre or Reggie White or play as the 1966 Packers as Bart Star? I could do this in Madden last time was Madden 07 on PS2. They have the players association and classic players in MUT why can’t these players be in a quick head to head mode like NBA 2K? I wish franchise mode was more immersive. NBA2K and MLB the Show have a much deeper game. Overall I am kinda sad at all the features they have taken away throughout the years. Madden 2005 had more franchise features and again NCAA 14 had a lot more details and more immersion that is just not here. Not sure what they are doing at this studio all year? Why take so much out **** when each year the expectation is that you will add MORE features not less?

I've played Madden since ****. This is not a good game this year. Large defense players are way too fast and catch up with the ball carrier way to unrealistic. Linebackers also make incredible jumps and interceptions. I would not recommend buying this game. Just play an older version with a roster you like. I bought brand new and then sold it. Worst Madden ever.

One of the best games I've ever played! I recommend this game to anyone who owns a PS4. Simply amazing. I played and beat the entire game even have the platinum trophy. So much fun and enjoyment.

This is a great hunting simulator game. It is true to a simulator you will be waiting for game to come in or hiking and calling to find game. It's not BIg Buck Arcade where you shoot 8 deer in one minute you will get 1 deer/animal every 5-15 minutes or so. With all the extra updates and maps up to 2020 it has become even a better game. It can be a grind. It does take time to figure out how everything works I had to go to YouTube to learn how things worked. This is one of the only faults of the game. Looks great on the base PS4 console and they are a small European studio and The Hunter has 50 square miles of open world in the woods, mountains, creeks also with dynamic weather and it's amazing!

I have been very disappointed with FS19. I played over 200 hours of FS17 and many hours of FS15 and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to this game but I don't understand what they are doing. The US map has a very trashy look to it. A trash pile in the middle of my farm land, a trailer home near my farm with a tarp on the roof, a spanish church on the hill that has a busted out wall and tarps on the roof it's like I'm in Fallout 76 or something. The buildings on the farm they start you out with are junky looking and have no use whatsoever. I can't even use my barn for storage it's just a cosmetic barn for $60,000. What reason do I have to keep my $60,000 barn just to look at when I could use that money for farm equipment? FS17 and FS15 had beautiful farm houses which made you feel successful. This farm house is very trashy looking with paint chipping and a trashy looking interior It needs a remodel from Joanna Gains! Fortnite has better looking houses than this. It's cool you can walk inside the house but it is filled with...surf boards...yeah I know farmers and they don't surf. I get that it's supposedly California on the coast but most Americans consider the mid-west location for farming. Also there is a small tutorial at the beginning of the game just like FS17 and other tutorials but not as helpful as the many YouTube videos. Every time I need to figure something out I need to go to YouTube to see how things work and I've played the previous games. The new U.I. menu is not as good as the previous game. It does not even give you the name of the crops in the menu just a picture, kinda hard to figure the difference in a beet and a potato which both are white color in the menu, hard to tell the difference between wheat and barley also with no name under the picture. PROS are I'm glad they now have John Deere and now you can preview your tractor or vehicle before changing the paint or adding special tires. You can also landscape and "paint" the terrain which is very nice also glad for the more realistic weeds during growing. I wish they would have used a better engine to make the game. The Game environment looks like a PS3 or Xbox 360 game. I get that they are an independent studio and that this is on a console but look at The Hunter Call of the Wild for an example on console. They are a small European studio also and The Hunter has 50 square miles of open world in the woods, mountains, creeks also with dynamic weather and it's amazing! I don't know why they couldn't use Unity or the Avalanche Engine to help make this game. It would also be future proofing and much quicker turnaround time for the next game. This is a bit of a letdown, I was looking forward to this game. I hope mods will bring new maps, buildings, or farmhouses to console otherwise I have no desire to go back to it.
