Less arcade-y than years past. Better gameplay. Story mode is actually kinda cool.G08 wrote:Really? Why? Maybe I'll grab a used one.wab wrote:This was the best one in ages.G08 wrote:I used to quite a bit but this is the first year I have not bought the game in ages.

Well, you assholes convinced me! Saw on PS4 that the G.O.A.T edition of Madden 18 was available to download for $18 so I pounced.

I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

Just out of curiosity can you design your own plays and install in your playbook? I've always liked doing that in past

I'm going to need a new paddle if I keep playing this years Madden.
-Load up a new Bears Franchise to start at the season...so I have to re-order the roster to bring Cohen and Jackson up from the practice squad...no biggie. Instead of cutting guys I trade them to Seattle for Paul Richardson, a modest upgrade on the outside WR. I also decide to start Trubisky right away...
1st game against Atlanta: They receive and drive right down and score on a Julio TD, I run 3 times get a 1st down, throw a PA pass and have it intercepted by a LB for a TD. I then get a bit more conservative and utilize Miller more and eventually hit Richardson on the post for a TD. we trade punts then I have the ball with 2:00 in the 2nd to try for a TD...I throw another int on a screen pass intended for Cohen...They get a FG.
- I start with the ball and call a run, they have the SS in the box so I audible to a PA TE seem, Miller is wide open, I hit him in stride...then the CB catches him from the side with a hit knocks the ball out and injures him...out for the game. They go 3 & out punt to me...I run twice for no gain, hit Richardson on a slant...S crushes him...out for the game...I go on to lose
2nd game against Tampa: I establish the run, have 120 yards and 2 TD's with Howard by the end of the 3rd. I'm up 14 -6. They hold me to a punt at the beginning of the 4th and I can't bring down the returner so they get to my 30. 1 pass to Evans for a TD and then they get the 2pt conversion. I get 1 first down and suddenly can't run the ball any more and have to punt with just under 3 minutes left. They drive down and miss a FG and we go to OT. They score on the kickoff.
3rd game against Pittsburgh: We both have long drives in the 1st for TD's. I score in the 2nd and hold them until an INT leads to them tying it up before the half.
-my first play in the 3rd, I run right for 11 yards but I lose Sitton for 6 weeks. next play is play action and I get sacked, Trubisky goes down for 4 weeks with high ankle sprain. I finish 4-12 passing with Glennon and Howard loses more yards then he gains in the 2nd half, lose 31-14
Against Trubisky most teams played more zone and I had open windows to throw into
Against Glennon I faced press man the whole time and the WR's dropped every pass in a defender was close.

I'm thinking of buying a PS4 this evening. Is new Madden for it worth it? The last Madden I got for PS3 was crap and would crash all the time after finishing a game in Franchise mode before it was saved. All it was good for was being a drink coaster. How stable is the game now?

PS4 saves completely different. most times I wake the system from sleep mode the game loads right away back to what I was doing.
I've had some games get glitchy and crash at times, but not as bad as the ps3 got and not Madden yet.

I did end up buying the PS4 pro last evening. The first game I played crashed in the middle of the 2nd quarter. By that time it was my bedtime so I will resume after work today. I am hoping the crash is not a trend. I hate the fact that EA Sports has an NFL monopoly when it comes to these games.

gotta make sure all the updates are done and saved. that is the only time I start getting crashes is when the updates are coming down the pike and I haven't downloaded or saved them yet.

Now that I have had Madden 18 to play over a complete weekend my verdict is it is the best Madden release in a long long time. I do now see that now when a game does crash you do not lose the whole fucking game. You progress seems to be saved up to the time of the crash. The crash I was having is from an old bug that has been around awhile, since Madden 12 at least. Not everyone may run into it as it is partly from user behavior. I have a habit of tapping the X button during some cut scenes and that causes the crash. Now that I am conscience of my habit I have stopped doing the tapping and I have not crashed since. I am happy to see that the AI has finally learned to do some at least simple clock management. The game seems to be a bit more realistic. I only play offline franchise in coach mode and the added realism is a plus for me. There are still some things I am trying to figure out, like how to look at injury reports and depth chart while in a season game. How the hell do you get to those screens? Do they even exist during a game anymore?
