My guess is it'll be like NBA, The Show and other games story modes where you are put in the championship game or the playoffs of whatever area you are in and just play shortened versions of those games.

In an of itself this looks really, really cool. The major complaints I've seen is that (a) it took resources away from Franchise and (b) it doesn't appear you can use your player beyond this mode.

If those are both true, I STILL want Longshot to be successful for the simple reason that in the future it could be integrated into Franchise mode.

I imagine maybe you'd be able to either go with the generated drafts or load your "Longshot" draft at any given year, which would be awesome. Especially if going forward the commentary remembers Devin Wade, lol (or whoever it is in the future).

When you're playing these high school/college games, will you be given a high school/college type play book? Like will I be given more spread formations as opposed to I-formation?

I don't really think that'll be the case. You probably will not even get to choose the plays. It's seeming like it'll be a lot of QTE moments with maybe some actual game play sprinkled in.

I want to know if we play those games. Like you said I just think we just do certain plays. I don't we even play a full game(at least 4 5-minute quarters) in Longshot mode. I hope I'm wrong, but I think those games will mainly show Cinematic scenes and just do certain plays at end of game.

It will be like the opening game/cutscenes for the past 3 maddens. You'll have to score a td or fg to tie the game then lead a game winning drive or something. It's just gonna be a whole lot of situational gameplay and not full games.
