Re: 10 minute video on more info of M18 Longshot

Once I read no playing NFL games I was done with this mode. From what I have been seeing so far a lot of people are saying the same thing. I'm sure if I get the game I will check it out on a nothing to do day. I just think putting something into an NFL game that doesn't allow you to play in the NFL is really stupid.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Rex say in the first Madden 18 TGH interview something to the affect of what they got done in 18 sets them up well for where they want to go with it next year when talking about story mode? I think this is just the beginning honestly.

Yeah no thanks, this is pretty much turning out exactly how I expected it would. Way too much time spent on a story mode quicktime event created for new people and children. Also probably more for MUT and hardly anything for people who enjoy Franchise mode because simply buying the game isnt enough for EA, they need to make money off of us for an entire YEAR.

Remember one-button mode from NCAA Football? I get the impression that Longshot is more-or-less equivalent to that; not necessarily in terms of profoundly nerfing the gameplay, but rather it acts as the first step in ramping up a new player who has literally never touched Madden before. It's a mode which exists to ease a new player into learning the core game mechanics - how to throw passes (the seven-on-seven drills), how to break tackles (the QTEs), learning football concepts in a low-pressure situations (the Gruden QB camp), and so on. It wraps all that teaching and ramping the user up the learning curve in an interesting story context which will encourage the user to move forward, as opposed to Skills Trainer which, while useful, lacks any and all context and doesn't keep a new player engaged.

Longshot, if pulled off successfully, will be great for the game because it will bring more people into playing Madden.
Yeah but how does that make the game itself better for the SIM crowd?

This. I'd say it's a waste of resources, but it will ptobably make them money. So... a waste of resources for people who wanted vast Franchise mode improvements....

Long-term, more total people playing Madden means more sim people playing Madden. Some of those new players who make it through the FTUE funnel will be guys who will bang on the table for Franchise just like anyone here.

It's not a zero-sum game.

I have to disagree. I cannot see this being a feature that brings new players into the game. Just my opinion, of course.
