    Some Madden NFL 18 Game Style Details Revealed - Arcade, Simulation, Competitive


    The Madden NFL 18 Creative Director, Rex Dickson has posted an image on Twitter with a brief description of each game style in the game. As noted earlier this morning, Madden NFL 18 will have 3 new game styles, Arcade, Simulation and Competitive. We should hear more details about these game styles as EA Play gets closer.

    Sounds like simulation style could be synonymous with normal style. The other two sound like additions and simulation sounds like what we've always had.

      I'm wondering if they won't reimplement some fair play rules to separate from arcade though.

        Maybe this was a way for the developers to finally add the simulation things that the higher ups wouldn't allow due to competitive play. Excited to hear more.

          Maybe, I think the "play to ratings" thing is interesting. In talking with Rex he said the competitive guys didn't want QB's missing throws when the read was right and I think the game tuned that way throughout 17. I am curious if we will see more errant throws and sack fumbles when throwing, things that were there early and slowly changed.

            actually ive yet to see players play according to their ratings , same for entire team.So i hope that means attributes other than sped,accel matter more than those two going forward, along with weight, height , etc.
            Yup, i said it !

                If I remember correctly they had this feature back on ps1 or early ps2 days. Glad it is back, more options is always a win for the community!

                  I'm so happy they're doing this. This could be huge.

                  I myself am a sim gamer to the core, of course I'm interested to use that.

                  But it will be cool to have the competitive mode too for online play with some RL friends from way back in college (I'm old, I'm 33) I still play BF1 and Madden with online.

                  But for my little offline CFM world where I want as much a sim experience as possible, this could be huge. Finally we can hopefully see realistic errant throws, bad snaps, and the like.

                  There is no reason they can't cater to sim and non-sim players. I'm happy they're doing this, hopefully we can all have our cake and eat it too.

                    This is my fear..

                    Madden as a whole has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'm in the wait and see group now.. hard evidence is needed to impress me

                      I'm okay if that is true though. They had to tune things like overthrows and sack fumbles to appease the competitive crowd. I am assuming the took the offsides off on defense (made it was harder at least) to appease the arcade crowd. I think we can get back some of the things we wanted, with the option to add more unique things going forward.

                        I think by reading those descriptions that competitive will be the "no bad snaps, no bad throws, no DPI, no holding, nothing out of user control" mode that Madden has been forever.

                        Sim will hopefully allow those things to be part of the game finally.

                          If "Simulation" does include things like bad snaps / etc., I very much look forward to seeing the reaction of the first user to lose a game of Madden like this:

                            This could be amazing. Hopefully there's new sliders that undoubtedly work and more penalties for Simulation mode. I really hope they both get equal post launch attention as well.

                              As long as "simulation" does NOT have the ability to 'swerve' the DBs out of position for easy deep throws, then I'm down for it! I really do hope this "simulation" mode has things like gameplay affecting stamina, awareness-based penalty chances, in-game penalties like holding on BOTH sides of the ball, etc.

                              100% wait and see for anyone who has a pulse and been around for any length of time with the Madden series...same story every year with the hype videos and trailers that show nothing of gameplay and in-game mechanics.

                              EA has always been able to put together tight hype vids...
