Good point. As long as Best Buy has the trade in and buy $35 deal I'll probably buy it every year.

That game needs a different cover!

Some of the features sound promising, but i won't buy unless the line play is addressed significantly.

I'm happy that they've separated out simulation style from competitive. They actually have the three styles labeled perfectly.

Now, will simulation actually have injuries away from the ball? It sounds silly, but that's been my biggest gripe with Madden CFM for a few years, that and probably "mishap" plays such as fumbled snaps, bad holds, etc.

Just went through and looked at it in the 4k trailer on Youtube and its definitely just a black wristband, same as Madden 17, not a mid-forearm band.

I don't think so. That stuff might come in time but I don't think gameplay is going to be that drastically different in 18. I wouldn't be surprised if it is very similar and Competitive Settings just have less dropped picks and stuff like that. If they overhauled settings then a lot could change but I don't think the inclusion of separate gameplay settings is going to include a lot of wholesale gameplay alterations but I could be wrong.
