Madden '17
Anyone getting a little excited? Seems like they have really made an effort this year.
Franchise mode is getting an overhaul according to recent news: 1. Full player editing while your franchise is progressing. 2. Coaching/FO decisions. 3. In-game ticker with live updates. 4. Practice squads. 5. New commentary team that will actually talk about things happening in your franchise. 6. Draft has been tweaked with more busts/gems. Gameplay improvements: 1. Zone Coverage overhaul. 2. New ball-carrier special moves. 3. Real gap control on defense. 4. Real ball physics. In the past the ball would tether to a player based on ratings. They also overhauled kicking to make it a challenge now. There's a new three-click system and weather/location will play a factor. Also, apparently on clutch kicks if the opponent "freezes" the kicker by calling a timeout the kicking meter will disappear and you have to make the kick by muscle memory. Kicks and punts can also be blocked. How badly all of this shit is ****ed up on release remains to be seen but it does seem like they are making a big effort. |

The new kick blocking stuff is balanced really well. Looks like you have an opportunity to block almost any kick if you time it right, but it comes with a significant chance of roughing the kicker.

Clutch kicking/freeze kicker is shown at the end of this video.

Looks like madden is really hanging their hat on the new super uber block a kick feature that was common on the '05-'07 editions. The graphics look identical to the 13-16 versions. It's tiring and I refuse to play this turd until somethings done about this issue. EDIT: I can't believe I'm about to say this but EA may need to take note of what Ubisoft is doing with assassins creed. Take a year off, show me something better. Imagine how good syndicate could've been if they had a whole year to perfect. I mean Christ, it was a good game but they packed way too many boring side missions into it. Look at what SIG is doing with God of War... They took a couple years off and totally refined the game. It's similar but different too. That game will be something else.

Another bitch... You absolutely can't tell me that with the powerful consoles and pc's we have now, we can't have more realistic football games? I used to play NFL games more than anything before I became a pure game dork. Now? The only one I'll play really is MLB and maybe NHL.
I know they have the technology they just don't have the time. EA is like a mid 1700's land-owner. Whip those boys until your product is out making money. It took some serious shit for them to approve the new battlefield 1. "Kids won't want to play a WW1 game." Was the exact quote. This is a game for adults according to the rating system. Therefore, idiots. |

Madden is going to frostbite in the next year or two, and that is when you will see a complete graphical overhaul.
They have made a lot more changes than just "block a kick," though. |

If that's true I'll definitely get 18. Fifa 17 is using frostbite and it looks amazing. |

Block kicks rarely happen in real games so i see this becoming a ridiculous glitch fest.

I see people only using it when they absolutely have to block a kick or there is little risk in going for the attempt (i.e. end of half). |

That game, as it comes out now each year, should be a $35 game at best.

So I shouldn't buy an out-dated console for $350 + $60 game + extra controller?
