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. |

Are you playing on xbox or ps4?
I'm debating buying one of those in the future and want to make the right choice and get the best system. |

as a guy who up until about 2 weeks ago when I grabbed a PS4, ran with a PS3 since they came out, and pretty much boycotted damn near all Madden's since around '08, I will say this game is tits.
granted, I haven't played Madden in so long, and even when I did, I usually played a 2-3 year old version. Alot of it is probably still being in love with the PS4 too. But man......this thing is awesome. and I've only spent about 3 hours playing it, so I haven't gotten in depth at all. Just a few 'play now' games to get the feel. The skills trainer is awesome, but for tonight, I wanted to move on to a game. I'll get into the trainer probably this weekend. controls are a bit funky for me, but that's largely because I haven't played it in so long. So, I had the occasional bonehead play because I wasn't all that familiar. blocked one kick already, but it was a 55 yarder at the end of a half. It's hard to explain - it just seems very fluid, and reactions of bodies flying around, running and turning awkwardly and falling down etc make for a realistic game. haven't quite gotten used to the whole idea of passing a ball then going for a receiving option when catching of either RAC, agreessive, or possession type catch. But I like that idea. so far, at least the computer anyway, it seems you're able to impact a catch on defense a LOT more by getting into the receiver, and disrupting/making contact. I can tell I'm going to spend a shit load of time on this game. I can't believe I'm saying that about Madden. lol. I'm sure once the newness of the game wears off and I experience.....Madden-type shit in a game, I'll have a laundry list of frustrations. But for now, it's very slick.

been a while since I pre-ordered a game, so I'm not sure how that all works these days. the last few 'big' games i bought, I bought day of with zero problems. Is there a benefit to pre-order, like extra goodies or something? a LONG time ago I used to pre-order, but started noticing the places I pre-ordered from always had a metric ton of games that weren't pre-ordered.
