Part of the reason for this is that we identify as MUT 24 Coins fans, and therefore, we don't want to act like we explicitly support a team or a league with a failing moral compass. The Madden NFL 24 has exploited that loyalty, claiming that it exists for the fans, for the communities in which its teams play and for the good of the sport.

As has become strikingly clear (and really should have been all along), the Madden NFL 24 exists to make a profit. It doesn't exist to do anything else, and it's probably misguided to want it to be anything more. The Madden NFL 24 is a business, and it's time to start treating it like one. That might be too much to ask, given the current political climate, but a viable threat of that happening might be enough to get the league to do the right thing — and try, once again, to trick us into thinking it's really about anything more than making a profit.

Let's start with the positive: At least this evaluation has to do with Marcus Mariota's on-field abilities and not that he's "too nice," which is somehow a negative in the cheap Madden 24 Coins scouting world. And that's where the positives end in this particular case.
