Re: Madden 18 "Little Things" Thread

It's annoying but in settings if you turn on the kicking arc it kinda helps with that. As far as kicking and punting whenever it's too close for me to call I use suggestion play calling. If it tells me to punt I try to pin it deep, if it tells me to kicking I usually have a decent chance of making it. It take wind direction and sterength into account

I've wondered if it's sophisticated enough to take ratings and wind into account when making suggestions.

I really enjoyed this rebound catch!

One little thing I've found annoying -- there's no wind indicator that I can find! I've had a few instances where I've called a Kickoff Left to begin the game, only to find that the wind is blowing strong to the right. It's also difficult to tell whether I should go for a long field goal on 4th and 2 when in the play call screen, or whether the wind would make success unlikely.

This is for good little things not bad

Here's a little thing I love that everyone else seems to hate: You actually have to read a defense for once, and throw check downs if the coverage takes away your initial read. It's a lot harder to decide to throw a corner pre-snap and just stick with it whether it was zone or man. Now you actually have to understand what the defense is doing post-snap and anticipate.

I love all these interceptions. It's teaching players that the old method of deciding where to throw pre-snap isn't going to work as well anymore.

Ive gotten better at this but still struggling. I went in like old Madden and got destroyed. Started looking at the coverage more and it's helped but still make poor reads

Re: Madden 18 "Little Things" Thread

in a cfm game, i was on defense and i noticed they came out with 5 wr's. somebody said "who got 17" and i looked at their slot who was number 17 and nobody was covering him. i was about to audible but they snapped it quick and threw it to number 17 for a first down ;-; i like how the communication makes sense in this game lol idk

I just got my QB back from injury in CFM and they put up my teams stats with and without him playing this year

I Don't know if it's just me, but it ALWAYS annoys me, when you (or cpu) lead and kneel after 40 seconds , the teams still stand around in the huddle, i always wanted the game to start ending then just like in real life

Had a kick off, and as I'm positioning my player to field the catch, I see the ref next to me stumble and fall lol managed to get up in time to call the play. Thought it was pretty cool

I can see that option coming. Perhaps add the option to "end game" to the play call screen before you kneel.

My drafted TE, Darius Hunter just caught a touchdown pass.
The commentary says, "Touchdown Matt Spaeth!!!"

During a MUT solo challenge, I heard a snippet of "Party Hard" by Andrew W.K. playing through the stadium speakers. I thought that was a nice little nod to the Madden NFL 2003 soundtrack.

Re: Madden 18 "Little Things" Thread

I apologize if this has been mentioned already but did anyone notice that offensive players can now catch batted balls? It used to be that the offensive player just stood there while the defensive players tried to catch the deflection, but now they can catch it. It's still kind of glitchy, but hopefully soon we will see more realistic contested ball animations.

Actually lost me the game a few nights ago lol hit stuck the cpu just for it to get tipped and caught by another of their receivers and run in for TD

Other than that, I really like when they occur
