Madden NFL 18 Features New Target Passing, Coverage Assignments & More

Target Passing !!!!!! It's like they read my mind,lol.

"There's no skill involved in passing game. Any success the user has is due to his decision making. There's no stick skill involved like there is in the running game. I want to be able to go into practice mode--with only the offense on the field--and experience the satisfaction of connecting with the receiver on a deep route simply because it isn't a given that I'm going to hit the receiver. I want to watch games on Youtube and not just be impressed with a player's passing offense, but also his ability as a passer period. I want the frustration of missing out on a sure TD not because of a random dice roll that caused my QB to make a bad throw, but because I overthrew, or under-threw, the receiver."

I wasn't even going to be interested in Madden this year without some sort of significant innovation, and this is the number one area I wanted them to innovate.

We've been simply pressing the x button to throw to the x receiver for at least two decades. Hopefully this new feature changes the way we play the game.

As long as there is a sharp difference between the good and bad QB's, I am down with this. I don't want to go 1 of 20 passing with Aaron Rodgers because my stick skills are bad.

I don't think we'll see a fully customizable league like with 2k just because we all know how the NFL likes their image to be. There's a reason we have pre set teams when we relocate and things of that nature. I would like more of those that way if we want to have a fully fictional 32 team league we could. That would be dope to me.

Agreed. That being said I said the same thing after last years reveal trailer. Madden 17 looked fantastic. I'm sure it will be awesome visually.

I think going 1 for 20 with Rodgers is fine ( when you fire the game up for the first time ) as long as there's a difference between 1 for 20 with Rodgers and 1 for 20 with Blaine Gabbert. There can still be a difference if many of the throws are just off the mark with Rodgers, but you can't hit the backside of a barn with Gabbert.

Think about how good it would feel to carve someone up with the likes of Tyrod Taylor.

But from what I have read about that, is it can be changed virtually on the fly right ??

Frostbite Engine is a step in the right direction for me. Been watching and reading on what it can do. Graphics, etc will come. Gameplay, gameplay, gameplay and the new engine will be the start of that. EA gets my $$$ every year and this one will be no different..
