More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

Yeah, I mean we do this every year. We have to remember that they don't release every single bit of info on the game on the first day.

I'm not singling anyone out, I'm just saying there tends to be a lot of thought like this every year.

I always get worried with ¤ NEW ¤ features and a new engine in the same sentence. EA was a wicked bad habit of taking several steps backwards when they go to a new system.

Fingers crossed.

Dag... not even a "MORE TO COME" at the end of it

Just overviews of the game modes.... these aren't even close to the deep dives or Blogs coming later on in the year.

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

Might still be in. That's not something that an average person is going. To see on Gamestop.com and be like "yo imma buy this game cuz of that" which is what all this stuff is. All the good stuff will be in the blogs which should start coming soon. I think we had most if not all of them by EA Play last year.

Not too make too much of it but in that short Zeke clip, it looks unchanged. Again an extremely small sample size but I am not optimistic.

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

I like the potential of Coverage assignments maybe being that we can assign coverages that could include route types to cover - this could allow a user to assign a defender to cover a receiver we believe is going on a drag or slant route.

I am hoping the Coaching Adjustments is like what we had in NCAA where we could pick things like aggressive, balanced or conservative and they each came with pros and cons.

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

If they don't actually give us custom coverage assignments then the naming of this "feature" is a massive troll on the playerbase.

i have to agree there. they knew it was something highly asked for , for years now. If they intentionally worded it like this, and then thats not what it is.... man they gonna have alot of pissed off people .Not exactly what you want to do with your base.

Also the more i hear people talk about it, and the more i read, including from the guy here who used to work at EA, im not sure how much im really gonna dig this new playstyle system. I hope its makes thing better, but im already starting to come down and feel some serious doubts about it .We shall see i guess. Long time to go yet.

Also the wording of this i find odd "Choose to PLAY and manage your Franchise from your smart phone using the Madden Companion App."


I can see the manage part, like bringing back ability to sign fa, resign players, trade players, spend xp like we had before. But the wording " choose to play & manage" almost makes me wonder what we can "play" from the app.... or does it mean , choose how you play CFM and also you can manage it from app?

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

Hmmm is target passing like that old turbographix16 football game? You had to hold down the button and move the stick to kinda aim where the ball goes.

all this "exterior" talk with the infinity engine. I don't understand why they spent time working on the exterior when they still need to do a lot of stuff on the interior of the stadium. Interactive sidelines, refs throwing flags, players subbing in and out in real time, qb's warming up in real time on sideline, kickers warming up, etc.

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

I like that they made some long overdue upgrades to Play Now since thats the mode I play most, looking forward to Play Live Now and playing the real world match ups each week. Is their any chance they change the play calling screen? The current one has been stale for years now to me.

Hoping they finally add in co-ordinators and a coaching carousel.

Re: More Madden NFL 18 Features Revealed

Hopefully the passing is a rip off from NFL Fever 2004 read and lead. If so with those catch animations I'd pay the 65 and not wait for access. We'll see.

I loved that feature in NCAA football 14. Taking 3 or 4 years to develop your side of football as a coordinator and increase your reputation. Then go to your dream job and build a dynasty.
They obviously would need custom playbooks. I loved recruiting players to fit my defense/offense.

I can't find the write up, but I think I saw someone mention this is more like the tackle cone. Lol. Meaning, it's like a graphical tool to help u cover better during a play. Something to help true beginners or people who struggle to play pass d. Maybe, we also get to choose db vs wr, but I def have my doubts on this.

well if that is the case, then that is just crap and they gonna have alot of pissed off people when they finally give details on that.Sorry but ima call that what it is if that is the case. I hope your wrong, but honestly after having 24 hours to digest the little info that came out and think about how things tend to actually play out compared to what is promised early on...... i have all but almost lost my excitement already for whats been talked about so far... Guess the old saying ,fool me once shame on you , fool me 10 times , im an idiot....
