Madden 18 Review

[therealsmallville]

ITT: we learn that reviews (opinions) are only good if they align with our own preconceived thoughts.

Is it the best sports game ever made? I dunno, EA Access hasn't even been out 24 hours yet. But there's a possibility, and stay with me here, that this particular reviewer played some games and (gasp!) preferred the gameplay here over other sports gameplay he has tried. Yeah, he talks about a deep franchise, and true it needs to be deeper; but perhaps it's deep enough for him?

At the end of the day, it's just an opinion. But the reactions remind me of something Roadman said a while back regarding Longshot: "if I end up liking it, nobody here will hear about it from me."

Next thing you know, we have QB AI awareness still not fixed, the play challenge system still not fixed, intentional grounding hasn't been called since the stone age, and CFM gets very little to no overhaul or updates. This is the state of the issue. Like I said before, I'm all for reviewers and people having an opinion but don't stand there and tell me this game is the best sports game of all-time. Say it's much improved. Say it's awesome and you really like it. Saying it's the best of all-time is like saying the Cleveland Browns are the best NFL team in the league right now. It's your opinion yes, but it's ridiculous. Bottom line.

Hey keep my Browns out of this.

And I disagree with you Toupal on game play.

It's not even close to the same as 17.

This review is absurd. Madden is the worst sports title out of all the major sports.

I have to also believe the reviewer has put more time into the game than anyone here who's disagreeing with it.

Again, if this particular sack of meat & bones thinks the gameplay on the field beats the gameplay on 2K's court (or 13 year old field...), where's the harm? I'll throw myself out there and say that, in my opinion, Madden 17 played a better game on the field than 2K5 or All Pro. (shrug) See? Nobody cares lol

From what I've seen of Longshot, it looks corny and terrible.

The only reason I said "basically" is because of Frostbite and Longshot.

The game is essentially a remastered version of Madden 17.

Maybe you should play it, before saying it's terrible?
