Some Madden NFL 18 Game Style Details Revealed - Arcade, Simulation, Competitive

[ggsimmonds]

CFM may be the most played mode, but I suspect MUT is the larger sales driver and revenue generator.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I too have been known to post extremely long posts here on OS but I always break it up into small paragraphs, even if, grammatically it would be one long big paragraph.

It just makes it a lot easier to read if you do. People tend to skip over a huge wall of text that is not broken up.

After Rex's tweet from earlier I'm not that excited for sim game style since it looks like it will play just like 17.

I would still hold out some hope it'll be different. I have a feeling it won't be exactly like 17. And/or it might be more like 17 without the patches. I'm thinking mostly on the QB accuracy issue. People said without the patches, they saw more QB inaccuracy. So, maybe sim in 18 will be tweaked even more that? But, overall, yeah, I think 18 sim will play a lot like 17, but I'm still hopeful for little things like QB inaccuracy.

I think you guys need to ease up a bit on the doom and gloom. I really like how the game is improving each year and I'm really optimistic for Madden 18 myself.

Lol. Oh yeah, man. Madden forums have been doom and gloom for a long time. [emoji6]. I was impressed with the changes they made starting with 13, and have been happy with the direction of this team. And, I think there was a good bit of positivity for 16 and 17. People have been mostly happy with Rex, but looks like it might be waning, now. Lol. I'm looking forward to seeing ea play, for sure. I buy every year, and hope for the best, anyways. I think 18 will be solid and if they really did fix a lot of legacy issues, u never know, this really could be the best game ever, and/or it might feel like it plays completely different (in a good way) without those little legacy issues. Right now is pure speculation, also. Lol. No real video out. We'll see.

I havent said much if anything in this thread. But after reading the tweets, listening to the interviews and all that.

I mean. How many years have we had that awful OLine interaction? They just NEVER change it.

How long have we had those canned animations of interactions between DB's and receivers? Im so tired of them, yet every year we get the same thing.

Those things have been huge for Sim players, but Rex doesnt ever mention them, EVER. The last time he was asked a question about either, he went off on a rant about something completely different.

Or "Were working on it." standard response. Then you buy the game and it has not been worked on.

Ive played a ton of Offline CFM in Madden 17. But everytime a 70 overall corner with 5 less points of speed, accel and agility and a Man Cov stat of mid 70s out jumps, out maneuvers and picks off a ball with a canned animation against my Sammy Watkins. Well I just feel like turning off my xbone.

I can handle the OLine stupidity, because they made it a tiny bit better with the last patch. But the canned animations that trigger, not because of stats or attributes or ability of each player, but just because are maddening...oh did you see what I did there?

Madden is Madden, it has changed a lot through the years and has some things it does well and other things that most certainly could be greatly improved. I think some of you guys simply don't like Madden. And that's fine but expecting it to come out and be radically different is unrealistic because that is just not going to happen. This is a game that does pretty well sales wise from an established company to an establish audience that is not going to radically change. Ever.

I'd suggest some of you guys continue to communicate with EA but also to try to start tempering your expectations a bit or look elsewhere for other games that may better give you what you like in regards to modelling a sport.

A few years ago I just decided to enjoy the game for what it is, a video game based upon NFL football. Madden is not a hardcore, complex and in-depth simulation of the game of professional football and never will be.
