The point of "when you get matched against a top team or player, you already get slaughtered as it is" is completely valid. Nothing will change there. I don't doubt that the top players and teams have skill, but let's be honest. You don't have to be highly skilled to score three touchdowns in LvL when you're already at an OVR advantage, and then get additional OVR advantage from power. So you'll still lose when playing against a top league or player, but it may be a worse loss, not really the end of the world.
All that said, I'm still not crazy about the idea of Madden Max on the surface, it definitely feels like a cash grab. But like any promo, I'm reserving judgement until it hits.
Completely random side note, anyone watch Mythic Quest on Apple TV? Anytime Nick has to deal out info handed to him from the higher ups it makes me think of the poor community manager on that show stuck in the basement, haha.
