Which Madden is considered the best overall game of this gen?

I'm just curious what the concenses is on which current gen Madden is the best.

All this Madden info is making me want to play it. I have EA Access and all the current gen Madden's are on there.

I was thinking it would have to be 18 but want to get people opinions.

17 for me. I like the gameplay the best in 17, and while the Franchise Mode in 18 might technically be better overall, it isn't enough for me move forward to 18.

I haven't played 18 in a few months, so maybe it's better now, but I still enjoy playing 17. It's just a looser-playing game.

I really liked 17 as well. I'd have to go back and play it, but I feel like it played a little better than 18.

Madden 18 remains the best online head-to-head sports game I've ever played, so I'll go with that.

I was a big fan of 17.

18 is a really good game, but they goofed up with the patch sequences this year and ruined a good portion of the football gaming season for players of my ilk.

Fully patched slidered up, I'd say '18, hands-down.

Madden 18.

I still think they improve every year with the game, but they are doing it as a snail's pace. Look at games like The Show or 2K & the leaps they've made over the years, while Madden seems like they're using dial up internet to make changes.

Madden 18 is the best professional football game to date, but as a consumer, I expect way more for my annual $60 donation to EA.

Madden 25 is still my favorite madden game ever. For fun factor. I'm shocked it's gotten the least votes. I feel the gameplay didn't need very much patching, and it's just a great playing game. For the new/new gen, I'd go with 17.

[ehh]

18 by a wide margin for me. It took a long time for the patches to come out to fix a few major issues but I'm still playing it and probably will until 19 comes out.
