How are trades compared to other Maddens?

I'm in Week 5 and it's the first trade I've been offered.

Not sure if the trading AI is any different but they've added a bar that shows the team's interest. The trade won't go through unless it's full all the way. With each proposal I could see it getting a fuller or less fuller depending on what I offered.

CPU teams will trade with each other, too.

Smellway are you just using the XB1 in game DVR to record/upload? I'd like to get some clips from my ranked adventures. I actually want to record full games then be able to edit it, so i prob need a dvr device or second video card in my pc correct?

Clay, would you post your sliders? I don't know if those would make sense on the 360 but I'd like to check them out just in case I decide to use them. I should be getting mine delivered tomorrow. Amazon Prime members get a good discount on this game - mine cost $47.99.

PROTIP

when you start your franchise you will probably want to change your XP sliders, otherwise player progression is going to be a molasses slow nightmare

So the real question is....is it worth buying?

I played Madden religiously up until 2014. I tried 2015 and it was shit. I was given 2016 and I played 2 to 3 games before I put it away and never played it again.

I don't play online. I only do franchise and franchise mode hasn't been good for ****ing years.

Should I jump back in? Or hold off another year?

Yes it's absolutely worth buying. It's ****ing addictive right now. Challenging.

one thing i love...it's actually hard to pick up short yardage plays now. last year i could just ram into the line with FB dive and gain yards every time

good review

I know little things might not matter to a lot of people. But there are so many little things that makes this game very immersive. The commentary is incredible

The little presentation things here and there. The menu is very sleek and breezing by really quickly. There's just too many little things to type. I can't believe they've added so many things I never thought of myself.

Instead, of clogging the front page now you can seemliness look at news and Twitter messages.The speed has made it much more of a reason to check it out. It's also much improved.

Again, I can't stress enough how amazing the commentary is. I know a lot of non-sim players don't care. But as a sim player it's so just immersing to have a ticker. They even have tickers that bring up games that matter to you during the season. Along with other regular season games as well. They will show upset alerts, regular alerts, important updates if divisional rivalry. Even better is the ticker shows you what's going on with the playoff race through the ticker.

The game is much improved. Money plays aren't so money anymore. The fight for the ball makes it unpredictable if you're going to come down with a catch, deflection, incompletion and an interception. The ball on the catch engine is incredible. The juke moves and new fight for the ball .Gives the user more power and skill more than ever.

I've also noticed they also added tuners for commentary. A lot of the commentary I've never heard in any game before. The commentary is extremely better as it is. They truly worked hard on this. So far I haven't noticed any negatives. No I'm not a Madden fanboy. If you go through my history I have hated Madden with a passion since Madden 10

AND one huge addition for me is the addition of adding the ability to play in only in important mods in your franchise. Kind of like The Show in a way. It's been a feature I've used it many times since I've played.

There is just way too many more positives I could write about this game, but I need a little break. I'll come back with an even more in-depth impression.

annnnnnnnd the CPU blocked my punt

rage

well that was a shitty way to lose a ballgame

Trade offers pouring in for Tamba Hali.

I may take New England's 2017 2nd, although multiple teams are offering a 2018 1st.
