Tush Push’s Madden 27 comic highlights everything wrong with the annual sports game
I remember when I was a kid, I used to get excited about the annual sports video game release, whatever You are crazy, The NHLor other franchises that come out every year.
Then I got older and realized that year after year, the changes and improvements are usually very small.
Example: teasing of Madden 27which seems to inform us that one of the biggest additions to this year’s program is Tush Push.

Now, unlike others, I like Tush Push. I am happy that the team found something that works well and is so difficult to stop that other teams are crying in the league to stop it.
That said, I don’t like it enough to end up dropping $60 or $70 to make it into a video game.
EA Sports has dropped the first teaser for the Madden 27which included Fernando Mendoza in a Raiders uniform, Myles Garrett in a Rams uniform (which was fast) and the Cowboys walking down a dark tunnel.
It also includes a bunch of rugby-like bodies on the goal line during a game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles and the Birds are upset.
That sounds like a Tush Push effect if I ever saw one.
According to Pro Football Talk, the game (with Caleb Williams on the cover; every Bears fan started cursing at the thought of what could have happened. Crazy Curse) as well as College football 27 it will be launched on Thursday night, but if this is the level of new features… who’s running out of a copy?
I’ve always thought that when you buy a sports game, you should get two to three years of program development. I think that seems about right. That way, you get new players every year, and the company can stop a new game when it’s developed enough freshness to merit a full, expensive release.

Yes, this has already been tried and failed.
I am a mature married man with a job and no children, I bought myself a sim racing rig. The first game I bought was F1 25.
This was on purpose due to the news that the developers behind it will only release new versions every year, with new cars and tracks added in the form of DLC.
It’s complete.
That DLC dropped this week, so I checked it out: It costs a cool $50.

For those keeping score at home, that’s as much (probably more because I think I got one on sale) as a new game, this year’s cars and a new track.
I don’t mind paying for things, but let’s face it. How about $20? Maybe $25 if I’m feeling generous.
I’m curious to see how that strategy works in the long run and if other franchises can use it.
I would pay a few bucks for the Tush Push DLC.

Can I pay $70 for Tush Push with Fernando Mendoza?
You will need to do better than that for the price.
