Lol. Yeah, it's all good. I was ROFL when I realized what u meant. I thought maybe u might've voice texted it as well. I will be using this for the rest of my life if it makes u feel any better. [emoji6]. Dairy air, I love it. [emoji23][emoji6]

You adjust data and write code on your PC, yes, but it all has to be exported to the dev kit to run. Sent from my SM-G930P using Operation Sports mobile app

Peter Moore was the reason for no PC version. He is gone now. Maybe Madden 19.

Peter Moore was a **** on a lot of levels, but his reasons for not doing PC are no less valid. In fact, they're more valid. Madden would do even less business today because EA's all-in with Origin, and it's doubly crippling not to be on Steam now days.

I understand very well the issues that arose with the last console cycle. The economy wasn't the best either. But at those are just hollow excuses to me right now. If you read the board from 10 years ago, then come back to this, or the other threads from the past few days, you're going to find people asking for many of the same things. How crazy is that?

i have played every madden since 98 on pc

17 was the best madden total package wise for next gen since madden 12 and 10

the main plom i have is the CPU AI in the 2 min drill lack of awr

Franchise GUI is just ugly. Slow, tedious to get to where you want. I used to love the 09 Madden, train your player with bench press and running drills. It just worked!

Add me to the list of those guys super-intrigued by the new target passing. I've felt for years the passing game needed a new take, but I came to accept the enhancements over the recent years and figured we'd never see significant change.

To speculate, I feel like it will have some similarities to Fever's 'Read and Lead'. And I only think that because some of the Sim Standard gentlemen have made videos in recent months discussing read and lead. With those guys being involved to a degree, I'd like to think they were clued in on the possible direction months ago. But again, just speculation.

I just hope it's executed well and its something that the fan base can smoothly transition to.

For me, I'm hoping Target Passing works in the sense that Rex (or someone) could demo it in a video, say "I'm going to throw it into the dirt 5 yards in front of my receiver on purpose", and then snap the ball and do just that.

Most of the time, new features fall into the "you can't see it, so you have to play it to get it" category...but Target Passing, if done how I'd prefer it, is easily shown. I have a feeling it won't work like that, but I'm hoping anyway.

I'm 47 and have played video game football since the Atari 2600 days. I've played every version of Madden on a video game console ever made. I remember with fondness driving 2 hours to the mall to buy Madden 93 for the Sega Genesis...those were the days..

And I will say I 100% agree with folks who are complaining but I also love Madden and agree with the folks who think some people complain endlessly just because they will never be happy with Madden.

Both camps are right. Madden is awesome but Madden has so many flaws. I've learned to just enjoy it for what it is and not pine for what it could be.
