EA Sports
Rarely, and I mean VERY rarely, does a glitch in a uber-popular video game not mean bad news for the developer that created it. One of the very few exceptions to this rule is when there is a glitch in the annual Madden NFL game by EA Sports.
In fact, one could easily argue that the annual batch of Madden glitches actually work out to be a positive for EA Sports as they inevitably go at least a little bit viral and generate a bunch of free publicity for the game.
And, one could also argue, that EA Sports builds some of these glitches into the game each year just for that very reason. I mean, it certainly wouldn’t be the dumbest thing to do, right? Especially when some of the best Madden glitches we’ve seen so far in 2018 are way more fun than actually playing the game the right way.
For example…
Where’s the Madden ambulance when you really need it?

Todd Gurley can also teleport.
Why isn’t this lineman also the team’s punter?

The Colts center might want to get this checked.
Any plans to address this glitch in an upcoming patch? Happens on about 75% of plays (seems to always be when their is no DT/NT lined up over center…

Umm, we know the catch rule is still confusing, but this call should have been easy.

What, you didn’t know the Saints signed two ghosts to play corner this year?

Can someone check on the 49ers punter please?

No idea. Seriously.
You CANNOT bring the Falcons’ QB down!
Center runs the ball? Check. Refs are blind in Madden too? Check.

Well, this isn’t fair.
And finally, yes, Madden, we also agree that the Chargers should still be in San Diego.
