Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

Re: Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

Where does he state that in the article? I am glad it is so, but when I read the article I did not see this fact. Seems others did not either. It should have been stated upfront in article or is article title.

He is a writer doing his job, though. He is reviewing the copy he has, they aren't reviewing the copies others may have through EA Access.

I've heard other people with copies of the retail game the QB is taking off and are guessing a day 0 patch addressed it.

True...however, there is a post in this thread that implies we all should know that he has the game with updates not in the EA Access versions. That was my point.

Anyway, I didn't think we were getting a day 1 patch or update or whatever it is. Sounds great to me!!

I find mmchriss' insight and opinion to be pretty good. So this brings my excitement level up a notch.

He meant that he(Millenium) said it before and it was in different thread and you also participated in that one, too.

I'm sure he mentioned it first in that thread and had to mention it again in this thread.

Absolutely. He is doing his job. And as far as an objective review he's doing his job well.

I don't know about anyone else, I think EA should make it a little known these issues being addressed is like, idk.... Kinda Huge! Either through MM, or someway put it out there.

I don't know what you are refrrring to to be honest. I have been in and out of many threads but do not remember all posts. My point was that in this thread no mention was made of the fact that Millen thought we all should already be aware of. That's all.

Re: Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

I think his assessment of QB play is accurate from my experience.

I have played games against the following QBs 12 min quarters, sim style and a few other tweaks.

Matt Ryan
Jamies Winston
Aaron Rodgers
Ben Rothlesburger
Teddy Bridgewater

I played with the Bears and souped up Leonard Floyd to an 84 ovr and Parnell McFee is an 88 on the right. So I have a pretty good pass rush.

The only QB that seemed a bit off was Jameis Winston. He stood there like a statue and took 7 sacks without really trying to move in the pocket at all.

Him, Ryan, and Rodgers tried their best to feed their WRs on the mismatches to their stud WRs. Julio had 8 catches for 176 yards, Evans had 4 for 68 and A. Brown had 2 for 60ish. I learned to force coverage on top WRs after being torched by Julio which limited the production of the later guys. My main complaint is that the cpu playcalling didn't seem to notice and I am confident many of my sacks (i got 3-5 per game) came from coverage sacks.

I felt a big difference between Rodgers, Rothlesburger, and everyone else. They both took off and ran a few times and worked their way through the pocket to avoid pressure.

So to me the statue QB is relatively low and can probably be fixed with sliders and tweaks. My only concern is that cpu playcalling is still weak. At best they avoid finding ways to get their playmakers involved or working around your strategies to do so, and at worst they run the ball down 2 scores in the 4 th quarter (yes this happened)

Not sure which thread came first, but he's repeated himself twice now in two different threads and the thread I will link you up with, post #26, where he answered you directly with the same type question.

It really doesn't matter, we aren't on the same page, and probably won't be.

Re: Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

This is relatively small and I'm a fan of the home and away equipment feature, but there are some players that wear the same or similar equipment (I notice this mostly with gloves and occasionally sleeves) each game...whether they're black, white, primary, secondary, etc.

For example...Thomas Davis never wears white gloves (usually black and/or primary), but because of the feature, he does in away games in Madden.

I don't mind changing it myself either, but once the roster updates all of that work goes to waste.

Thoughts?

Agreed. Lets just let it be. Time will tell if they actually fix this as it should be. Right now there is no way to tell...and the more threads one reads the more confusing it gets. My money is on "no" but hopefully they prove me wrong.

Re: Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

Wait... theres a day 1 patch?

[CujoMatty]

I played the EAaccesss version as well As one of the guys who got the PS4 version last week and have played with the patch, his assessment is 100 percent correct. The CPU QB in terms of moving around and avoiding pressure is infinitely better after patch. Russell Wilson killed me with his mobility .

Re: Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

Great assessment! I'm glad it's not like some reviews I've heard where it's like an updated version of 17. Can't wait to grab my copy. Also if someone can answer for me, are the tackle stats being properly recorded?

Re: Madden 18 Gameplay: What's Working and What Isn't

So, word was in other threads that review copies were playing a 1.02 or 1.2, and it looks like most of the GOAT copies are 1.01. With no patch notes or anything else it's tough to tell if reviewers reviewed a different copy than what consumers sold.

Can the article mention which version of the game is installed?
