I hope we get true in game innovation and career mode (Franchise/Player) for Madden 18. I want to feel like I cant wait for the next game in my franchise and of course the in between games strategy in franchise. If by innovation (and there is one quote that concerns me in this article) they add dumb mini games...I am gonna be so angry.

Hoping for awesome gameplay out of the Frostbite.

I'm a big Fifa guy, put in 500-700 hours every year, last year's game certainly had a lot of flaws in career mode and lack of patches, etc... But the reason I'm almost at 500 hours already this year is the gameplay. I could play Fifa 17 forever because of how sick the gameplay is this year. Hoping that we get that kind of addictive gameplay from Madden after what I would say have been a couple down years after Madden 15 was real good.

Well id say this, i recall for Madden 25 what they showed of RG3 supposedly taken from in footage , never matched up to how the game actually looked in real life.So even them showing something between now and release, im going to have a hard time believing it will actually look that good once the game comes out graphically speaking.


Ill just leave this here as a reminder , cant believe everything we see when they want to "highlight" what frostbite will do for the game. I only state this because honestly , ive yet to see madden look at good as it does in this video highlighting what Ignite engine was supposed to bring us , but never did:

Easy to forget this , so just look back at this video when videos finally start to be shown of gameplay.

Here is the one for madden , that says actual in game footage.

So i feel like , for me, its gonna be hard to swallow a video as what game will actually look like until i test it in my own hands.


As for features , im wiling to put 100$ up that they are brining back a "superstar" type mode, kinda like 2k has my player. Where you make your way into NFL and try to have your own career.......Not a rocket scientist here , but pretty sure that seems about obvious to me with the "new modes" quote from the article JP posted.

I want to hear about innovation regarding the controls on the user's end, whether it's the passing game, running game, or on defense.

The last time EA did anything innovative was in Madden 2006 ( the passing cone ).

Absolutely agree! I have to try and be patient for the "real" news - the additions/upgrades that actually make me want to buy the game.

I'll probably get crucified for this, but I'm really looking forward the graphical upgrade frostbite should bring. It'd be awesome to play in Buffalo were it's sunny in the first half then a full on blizzard by the fourth.

Why crucified? Everyone enjoys different parts of the game. Maybe graphics aren't that important to many here (including me) but to each their own.

I'm HOPING for revamped weather / lighting, off-ball injuries, actual minicamp / training camp drills, and a better UI for franchise mode.

Those are realistic things, I think.

Unrealistically, what I'd LOVE to see is a weekly wrapup show. I don't even care if it's The Extra Point 2.0, as cheap as that show was I still loved it & watched it between every game. Throw in a few highlights (I'll even take canned ones!) and maybe a mock draft that changes a bit every few weeks and I would be on cloud 9!! Though, while I'd love it, I doubt it will happen.

What I think will ACTUALLY happen is new modes for Draft Champions & MUT, possibly game breaks ala NCAA 14, a story mode, new franchise interface, better lighting, and HDR/4K for compatible consoles & televisions.
