Madden 17, Is it me or has the game improved?

[vtcrb]

I hadn't played Madden 17 since around the first of the year. I decided to pop it in yesterday and start a New CPU vs CPU Franchise. I do use my own edited Roster but didn't make any changes before starting the Franchise, and I first thing I noticed was improvement. Better cuts, no guys running out of bounds short of first down, Better Quarterback movement in the pocket.

Now I really liked Madden 17, but the things listed above drove me nuts. I am not sure if it is because Game Tuner updates are cut off to,the game or what is going on.

Has anyone else noticed a difference if you still play Madden 17?

I don't think game tuners were "turned off" since they were included with the last M17 update released for that game. If you uninstalled patch, well that's another story.

I'm still playing M17, since I only play offline franchise mode, and I love it. I needed to work thru a slider set for All Pro and make some changes to progression but, other than that, I think it's a really good game. Just my opinion.

I uninstalled Madden 18 because I had yet to get through an entire season without being disappointed and quitting. Right before the draft I installed Madden 17 and am having a good time. It is a much better game than 18 in my opinion.

M17 is just a better quality game. Tackling is more fluid and you don’t see defenders stopping to watch animations play out. Locomotion is less jerky. There’s less sacks because QBs aren’t tucking throws after full range of motion to take sacks. Plus more

What are the advantages of 17 over 18 and disadvantages ?

I've gone back to 17 recently as well. Can't say I've noticed it performing better or worse than before, but compared to 18, I am enjoying this game more.

I think the EA staff must have been wrong and they've made improvements to the wrong game.

The biggest thing that bothered me about 17 was that you couldn't get qbs to scramble.This was finally fixed with a patch for 18 and worked in 16.I just don't think the qb AI was up to snuff period.


I liked 16 alot,wanted to like 17 but was too frustrated at some of the problems that were never fixed,and 18 was improved quite a bit finally a few months after release.
