Madden 18 is more realistic, hands down. I feel like a lot of people who prefer 17 more do so because it was more arcadey. Easier to complete slants that unrealistically go all the way across the field, easier to just win with speed instead of football strategy, etc.

18 is not without flaw, though. Due to this realism, there is in some respect less user control (some instances are more dependent on dice rolls). Things like your linemen being beat by defenders, for example. The way it’s done looks more realistic, but it also feels a bit more scripted.

Better physics and better procedural awareness would help a lot, but there are limitations to this engine. I prefer better realism, so my vote goes to the more realistic game.

Overall, 18 is the better game, period. And simply for the reason that it is a more accurate representation of NFL football.
