Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed Madden 17. I was able to play it all year.

I am going to play Madden 18. But when you really bring out a big feature:

Choose the way you play:

Simulation

Comeptitive

Arcade


And simulation is simply last years game. Because it is. This leads to some expectations. I was actually going to sit 18 out. But when this came up...I figured wow they are really listening and don't want patches and tuners to effect different crowds.

I don't know.....I really expected the QB AI and play calling to be seriously looked at. And this is not the case.

So we have a better tuned version of 17.....which is a really solid title...make no mistake. And we now have a new engine and the benefits of that engine are felt. I like how smooth the game feels, the controls are responsive, the hits, the ball physics, player physics etc.

But again for me it is always about the game play. And with the AI.....it seems untouched. I know I can't be the only one seeing and feeling this. I have played the game long enough to know right away. It was really obvious from the first snap. Crazy I know....but just being honest.

So in a nutshell....I fell on the sword for some of you in the sense that if you really liked Madden 17.....and want updated rosters....you don't really have to get 18. Game play vs the CPU is almost identical.

Honest impression.
