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

Both of those catch animations shown in the trailer were from 2017. If there was an overhaul, they would've shown something else.

So does this come with the cheat codes already programmed in the game? Or do we have to purchase from the PS Store?

Yeah, the Norman-Dez one was in 16 too.



I don't think it's that surprising though. If there was going to be an animation overhaul it would have been part of the feature set. None of the features are anything that require new animations it looks like so the game is going to likely look identical to 17 in terms of animations and player movement. And based on one of those Brady screens of him it doesn't look like the throwing mechanics have changed either so anyone hoping for a drastically different looking Madden in motion are going to be disappointed.

This is still a problem. The joints in madden are still inaccurate. This has plagued the game forever. I was hoping the transition to frostbite would alleviate this with better player models.

Looks like Popeye

It will look different with play model movement. The horse walk should be gone because of the engine. That was a legacy issue.

Those animations look the same. The engine just changes the lighting and graphics.

Well, I know it's the first look trailer, but there is no shooters sleeve on the arm of a player who wore one for the last 15 games of 2016
