This is really good to here. It does mean that some of the things we like about the last couple of years may not be in the game though. The possibilities of a ground up build are limitless though.

Now I don't know details on what will or won't be in the game and all of that. All I've been told is that there are two teams who have been working closely together trying to get the games done. And I emphasize that this isn't two diff development groups from what I've been told. These guys all work together in the same studio and they did it this way as to not pull too much from the current version of the game but also to stay on their timeline for M18.

Correct but at some point the new game had to diverge from any new code that was put into the game we have now. That may have been as far back as 15. Doesn't mean they didn't write code to do the same thing in the new game but doesn't mean they did. When they write a patch for 17 that will not go into the new game. I am not a code expert but that is how I see it. I am sure others know better than me.

Bring it back to PC...that is all I want. Frostbite is used in multiple PC games so perhaps they will have a PC version of Madden 18. After buying Madden 15 & 16 (PS4)and only playing them for two weeks each I did not buy and have not played 17. Will have to check out 18 out of curiosity for the new engine.

There should not be any steps backwards for this game really ever again. If it's not ready, Don't put it out. Release a roster update the next year. If it's ready, great. EA gets enough free passes with next gen systems every time when they strip out the features to a plain game, then re-release those old features and pretend that they are innovative.

Amen I enjoy madden but.I don't love it like 2k. Nothing feels natural, or organic, actual footplants, and control. All these years later and it still feels like running on skates.

It makes sense of course that they have been working on this for a couple of years now. I think they are trying to be done with the type of big setbacks that have happened in the past too many times with the implementation of new software/hardware.

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

Why should we as consumers have to demo the game on the new Frostbite engine for Madden 18? This is not how things work. Madden team should have been working on Frostbite for 2 years now, so that when it comes time to release the game it is flawless. Worst thing is when in for Madden 19, the team will come out and blatantly acknowledge how **** the previous version was.
