Re: Madden NFL 18 Retail Impressions

So a few things have been happening since day 1 in MUT, mind you this is the first year Ive ever done MUT, so no idea if these were past problems as well.

1. When the QB spikes the ball to stop the clock, EVERY single time the announcer asks why he did it, the clock wasnt running. But it was, EVERY single time, and the CPU QB spiked the ball for a reason.

2. Showing the wrong coach when you passed a MUT challenge. Though I think thats fixed now.

3. Either each challenge is so hilariously easy I score 70+ points in 2 minute qtrs, or the CPU is beyond even All Madden challenging.

Those three things stood out the most to me. But what has been happening these last few days have followed me into my offline franchise.

I just shut my Xbone down, and almost screamed "IM DONE!!".

1. Running a crossing, out or in pattern 10 to 15 yards down the field my WR will basically run into a safety, who then does the press animation and completely redirects my WR. No penalty on either player, nothing but either a pick or a WTF is my receiver doing scream. This has happened at least 3 or 4 times a game in both MUT and CFM.

2. A highly rated Olineman being shucked by a low rated LB or Safety. Now the running is vastly improved. But when a 92 overall Larry Allen gets shucked by 75 overall OLB with 72 Block Shed, on 5 plays in a row. Really? Not one pancake.

3. Pancakes. They only ever seem to happen to me. I usually play my DT Mean Joe Greene (In MUT) or Allen (CFM). Both players though usually, not always, but usually much higher rated getting pancaked. Usually right when I do any sort of move. Not double teamed, just one Olineman making me look like a college kicker.

4. Coverage - 10 times a game easy my Safeties and Corners continue to look out to space for alien life. The CPU? Oh there safeties can leap tall buildings with a single bound. My guys? Balls flying over there head more then a porn star.

Its number 1 that had me just turn my Xbone off. I cant turn it back on. The game was going wonderfully, I was less then 55% passing. The CPU had moved the ball decently, I was up 9 to 7. Was running well.

Then I see Corey Davis coming inside across the middle. The Safety with his back turned, backpedals into him, goes into the bump and run animation, and Corey Davis completely stops his route to fly up the field.

I threw the ball as he was coming free, thinking ok great a good little 15 yard reception. Nope, picked off, by the safety, who wasnt even looking at the play.

Yeah, I cant load Madden 18 up anymore.
