Re: The Three Best and Worst Things About Madden NFL 17

The single worst and most infuriating aspect of Madden 17, and every EA sports title of the last few years, is how I'm forced to waist about 10 minutes the first time I pop one of these into the system, with unskippable intro's. I had some tonight to finally pop Madden in for the first time...got to the main menu, then I was taken to a loading screen to see an intro that I didn't want to see, then to some gameplay (Rams vs Redskins) that I didn't care about (finally I can hit start->quit), then another loading screen to take me to the settings. Finally I'm getting somewhere! Except, now I'm forced into seeing the new mechanics of the game, another short load time, skipping through some prompts to quickly exit. Finally I can play like I wanted to when I originally hit the main menu. These 'features' would be a lot more interesting if I wasn't forced into them the first time playing every year.

I am enjoying this game. There are a few things that I still find annoying such as: 1. Great ball physics are ruined by the fact the ball still clips through the back wall and through objects on the sideline. 2. I would like to be able to choose a city for relocation and then choose any created team for that city. I would love to make the Brooklyn Black Knights. 3. I wish I could take my franchise team and use them in the in Gauntlet. 4. Bring back creating a stadium or use MVP 2005's formula for being a team owner. These mentioned things are not deal breakers for me, I just find them to be inconsistent with what should be after this much time in the game.

The most frustrating thing, and the only bad thing about this game, is the Online Input Delay. So many bad throws and out of bounds Field goals. Just like in NHL. Maybe it is that I am from Germany and 95% of my opponents are from the US. But that is a Gamechanger for me.

Worst: I've spent at least 4-5 hours (I know I suck) trying to defeat the level 25 boss in Guantlet Skills Trainer so that I can get the achievement. I finally beat the level 25 boss (media day one) and the achievement does not unlock. I beat the level 25 boss AGAIN, and it still did not unlock.

I went from literally yelling with joy when I beat it, to being crushed with disappointment.

I'm an offline franchise player so one of the things I'm most disappointed in so far is the lack of receptions by running backs who are recievers, as well as the high ypc avg for backs. This has been an issue for years!! It appears as if nothing has been changed in the statistical sim engine. I also don't like the fact that you still can't change the pass/run frequency of teams. I'm very happy with the gameplay as of now, if only they could make some important changes to franchise I'd be completely satisfied.
