Tom Brady is the Madden NFL 18 Cover Athlete, First Trailer Reveals Story Mode

This looks great. Pumped to see gameplay at EA play. The story mode in FIFA was great. Looks to be similar.

These images are disappointing. The game looks to animate the same. Zero football IQ. The defender trying to tackle Elliot is tackling air while looking at him. The defender covering Antonio Brown never attempts to locate the ball. Dez Bryant is doing the same animation as the defender with the ball two feet out of his reach. Ugh. Madden is an ugly game in motion.

The story mode does zero for me either. Never liked it in a football game. Players don't play offense and defense like baseball, basketball or soccer. Even the skill players of the offense don't get enough touches to make the mode interesting to me with the qb being the only exception.

I haven't bought madden in years. Very unlikely I come back this year based off this trailer.

Equipment guys chill out, just remember NONE of the new equipment for Madden 17 was shown until after E3. Feel free to give feedback but just last year we should have learned that these early trailers are not fully indicative of what they added to the game.

based on the very brief clips. One thing I did notice was the short cuts to lineman feet and the battle in the trenches. I'm hoping they have redone line animations, which is definitely a huge request by the community. If you look at the 26 sec mark and watch the wr on the other end of the field, his route running animation looks really good actually. My hope is they finally got running animations correct this year.

Just brief thoughts on a small sample

Not a huge story mode guy in sports games. Do I really need to watch pre-made cut scenes about my players growth and choices. I hope it didnt take away from franchise mode development.
