    iMAV3RIQ's HONEST First Impression's Playing Madden 18

    He's basically saying the zones have been dumb'd down since EA Play, he mentioned Rex told him they didn't want to make the game too hard for new players they expect to get from Longshot. My questions is does this apply to user vs. cpu? And if so why the heck did they create three different playing styles? I thought the reason was to avoid crap like this.

    They've dumbed down zones across the board? Why would they do that? Can't casuals just play on arcade?

      FWIW, Rex mentioned on Twitter they are looking into changing the zone coverages.

      New players will not want to play sim right away, keep that stuff on arcade.

        That's incredibly discouraging. This is what difficulty levels and the game modes are for. Don't dumb it down for everyone.

          "he mentioned Rex told him they didn't want to make the game too hard for new players they expect to get from Longshot."
          So why dumb down zone across the board? I doubt new players would start playing on AP Sim right? Isn't this what difficulty is for?

          I wonder if zone was dumbed down due to target passing. I haven't seen gameplay where guys consistently used target passing, but I wonder if that provides a more balanced result.
          If that is the case, we have a major problem.

            So basically adding three new game styles doesn't mean crap?

              Sigh... I guess I'm not excited about Madden now. I might skip this year

                Looks like another year of sliders that look like this:

                Qb accuracy 5
                Pass reaction 99
                Pass coverage 99.

                Let's hope they work this time, unlike the whole period of like 3 months last year between patches when qb accuracy slider was useless.

                      Why go through all the trouble of creating separate modes!?! There messaging has been garbage. I'm not even sure what date this games actually coming out? Is it the 22nd? 25th is a Friday so not sure what's going on with that. Hopefully we can get sim mode straightened out by the end of the year via updates because I'm feeling strongly this message board is going to have a whole lot of feedback when this game drops.

                          I hope not.... although that is usually where the sliders end up...

                            This is always going to be Madden's achilles heel. I figured the new settings would mean that we were past this mindset but clearly not. It seems to me that despite the modes trying to be catered to three different play styles, they're still going to prioritize accessibility to each mode over everything which is a huge mistake IMO. It's so frustrating that this is still an issue even with the separate game styles.

                              Maybe on Arcade mode they can dumb the defense down. But they shouldn't do that on Sim mode or even competitive really.
