Yea anything for PC that is related to most EA Sports games is like a decade behind with their game engines. They pretty much just port it to run on a PC and call it a day.
Meanwhile games like Dead Space 2, which came out 10 years ago, have better graphics and feel than anything that has come out recently for EASports PC games.
I think the last Madden game I bought was 2005 and I probably would like it better than the latest ones.
